Light food changes the traditional way of eating, and supplements energy with light food that consumes less calories but is nutritious and healthy, so as to achieve the goal of healthy weight loss and shaping.

For light food, simple cooking methods such as steaming, boiling, scalding and stewing are adopted. Fresh and low-calorie ingredients are used to replace big fish and big meat, and the types of food should conform to the principle of "three lows and one high" as far as possible, that is, low sugar, low fat, low salt and high fiber, which can not only meet the daily energy demand of human body, but also effectively control calorie intake.

The human body needs three nutrients to maintain our life: carbohydrate, protein and fat.

First, carbohydrates We often say that carbohydrates generally refer to grains, such as rice, steamed bread, noodles, bread and so on. These high GI (high sugar content) will be quickly absorbed by the stomach and converted into fat in the body.

In light food, we advocate low carbon instead of giving up carbohydrates completely. We can eat foods with low GI sugar, such as whole grains, brown rice, sweet potatoes, oats and whole wheat bread.

Second, protein.

Light food pays attention to the collocation of nutrition, with diverse ingredients and rich nutrition. We should not only eat carrots, vegetables, pumpkins and other root and leaf foods rich in vitamins, but also eat animal and plant proteins and dairy products.

Generally speaking, an adult's daily intake of 60~80g of protein can meet human needs.

Third, fat.

Many people think that fat is a harmful substance. When it comes to being fat, everyone avoids it. In fact, fat is one of the three nutrients in the human body, which provides energy for the body.

There are good and bad fats in food, and there are two kinds of healthy fats: monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids. The main sources are nuts, almonds, cashews and rapeseed oil.

In addition, when eating simple meals, try to choose low-calorie sauces, such as vinegar juice or low-calorie yogurt. But don't go on a diet to lose weight. Being hungry for a long time leads to nutrient deficiency and malnutrition in the body, and even systemic symptoms and multi-system damage.
