Recently, I often hear that eating bitter gourd raw every day can lose weight. It is said that this method is very effective and popular in the United States and Japan, and there is no need to diet or exercise. You can sleep as long as you want and eat whatever you want. Is it really so amazing? It happens that our editor also plans to lose weight recently, so he plans to try it himself.

Data support for experimental reasons:

First, in Hanzhong, some people are not fat, slim and delicate, and their skin is smooth and delicate. CCTV's "Life and Health" column once reported this incident and revealed the mystery: it turns out that they eat 2 or 3 bitter melons raw every day, so they are so slim. At the time of the interview, the director, Miss Lu Di, tried to take a bite, which looked miserable. An old lady named Sun ate five bitter melons in one breath in front of the camera. She said that she used to weigh 87 kilograms, which was very painful because of high blood pressure, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and arteriosclerosis. After eating bitter gourd for a year, her weight was reduced to 48 kilograms, and all those diseases were cured.

2. During the period of1998, Dr Carey of the United States extracted a high bioactive component-high energy lipoprotein from bitter gourd. Experiments show that taking one milligram of this ingredient every day can prevent about 100 grams of fat absorption and make the waist circumference thinner by two millimeters.

My friend said that I once saw this kind of diet pills containing "bitter gourd lipid" sold in Japan, which cost nearly 30 thousand yen. I probably calculated that it was only 1000 yuan, so I gave up the idea of letting my friends buy medicine from abroad and decided to eat bitter gourd directly, which was not only cheaper, but also better than taking medicine-after all, "medicine is poisonous in three parts."

The legendary effective consumption quantity:

2-3 tablets a day, washed and seeded, must be eaten raw for more than 20 days, without dieting, sleep whenever you want, and eat whenever you want.

Current physical condition:

Weight: 57.5 kg, height 168 cm, pants 28 (I really want to cry when I look at those 25 pants in the summer of 2003. I'm sure that most of my weight will grow on my waist, so that when my parents heard that I wanted to lose weight, they looked at my long thin legs and called me guilty, but they didn't know how "hidden meat" my waist and abdomen was.

Experimental process

Day 1 day

Breakfast: Fried jiaozi at 20. 12:00 (sorry, I didn't get up until after eleven o'clock)

Lunch: a bowl of rice, a fish and some other stir-fried dishes. 18:00

Dinner: a bowl of rice, a bowl of shredded chicken and corn and other dishes. Eleven p.m.

Midnight snack: a cup of yogurt, two bottles of beer, two spicy duck necks and a bitter gourd. two in the morning

Feeling: I took the first sip carefully, which was very bitter. If I eat it again, the bitter taste is easy to say, but the green taste is really unbearable. I tried to eat one, but I really couldn't eat the second one.

the next day

Breakfast: a cup of yogurt, two pieces of bread and ham, and a bitter gourd. eight o'clock

Lunch: a cage of Nanxiang steamed buns and a bowl of wonton. 12:30

Dinner: a bowl of rice, half a fish and a bowl of kelp sparerib soup. 19:00

Midnight snack: a bitter gourd. Ten o'clock in the evening

Feeling: The taste is as bitter as chewing wax. I didn't finish the two I planned yesterday, so I decided to eat separately today, one for breakfast and one for dinner.

the third day

Breakfast: a bowl of noodles and an egg. eight o'clock

Lunch: a bottle of beer, some cold dishes, a bowl of cabbage soup, four rolls of roast duck (that is, four rolls of roast duck with pancakes) and a bitter gourd. 12:00

Dinner: a big bowl of noodles with dregs, some boiled cabbage and a bitter gourd. 19:00

Feeling: I don't know if mixing with other things is the right thing to do. I'm going to eat bitter gourd at mealtime tomorrow.

The fourth day

Breakfast: I didn't eat it, because I didn't get up until 2 pm.

Lunch: a bowl of rice and some cooking. 18:00

Dinner: a bowl of rice, a few stir-fried dishes and a huge Sydney.

Midnight snack: a bottle of red wine and a piece of beef sauce (estimated to weigh three times). 2: 30 in the morning

Today's two bitter melons were eaten at 4 pm and 1 1 respectively.

Feeling: It seems that the first three days are really stealing opportunities, because it is not as smooth as the first three days when a person eats bitter gourd without mixing it with other things. My wife is really hard to swallow. I swallowed more than n mouthfuls directly, and I really can't chew.

Fifth day

Breakfast: I still didn't eat, because I didn't get up until 2 pm again.

Lunch: a bowl of rice and some cooking. 18:00

Dinner: a bowl of rice, some cooking, a bowl of soup, two bottles of beer and a huge Sydney. 2 1:00

Midnight snack: one bottle of red wine, two bottles of beer and one piece of beef sauce (estimated to weigh three times). 2: 30 in the morning

Feeling: Today's two bitter melons were also eaten at 4 pm and 1 1 respectively. My mother suggested that I beat bitter gourd into paste and drink it, saying it was easier to swallow than chewing it directly, so I squeezed a large cup. What can I say ... it's all the same, still so bitter.

sixth day

Breakfast: 3 slices of bread and ham per person. eight o'clock

Lunch: a bowl of rice and some cooking. 12:00

Dinner: a big bowl of tomato noodles. 19:00

Snacks: 18 spicy crayfish, 3 bottles of beer. two in the morning

Feeling: I ate two bitter melons at 8: 30 in the morning and 6: 00 in the afternoon respectively. Bitter melons make me want to vomit all the time. Insist on not weighing, and plan to persist for a week before feeling the effect. But I feel that my pants are not so tight, at least I don't need to loosen my belt after dinner (sorry).

Seventh day

Breakfast: I didn't get up until 3 pm, so I didn't eat breakfast.

Lunch: I didn't eat either, because I didn't feel hungry.

Dinner: a big bowl of mutton soup (with meat) and half a pancake. 2 1:00

Dinner: 4 bottles of beer, 1 including granny peanuts. Twelve o'clock in the afternoon

Feeling: Today's two bitter melons were eaten at 4: 30 pm and 10 respectively. I decided not to drink those mushy things because I really didn't want to vomit. So I cut the bitter gourd into almost transparent slices, which made me feel much more comfortable to eat, but it took a lot of time. I ate each one for more than an hour.

When I finally planned to weigh myself, I actually reduced it to 55 kilograms! Hold the household scale around, then take it to my husband and pester him to help check if it is broken. My husband was so entangled that he promised to take me around to the pharmacy scale when I went to work tomorrow morning.

Follow up:

Another week passed, and the food intake was basically the same as last week. Invented a new way to eat bitter gourd, that is, go to the supermarket to buy the smallest ice box, squeeze bitter gourd into paste and then freeze it into small pieces to swallow. Swallowing bitter gourd ice for a week is actually addictive, and it is the least uncomfortable way to eat raw bitter gourd, so I can't stand other methods. On the sixteenth day of the experiment, because of well-known reasons, I couldn't eat any ice, so I stopped the experiment with this "high-sounding" excuse.

During this time, I stopped all weight-loss actions, insisted on being lazy, slept for more than 10 hours every day, and ate when I was hungry. At home, I just watch TV, surf the Internet, write articles, and basically have no exercise. Even my husband drives me to work. After two weeks of experiments, the weight finally dropped to 53.5 kg, and after eating and drinking, I wore 27 pairs of pants (the next size) without loosening my belt! I think, if I persist, I should be able to wear those 25-year-old pants in the summer of 2005.
