But if you don't eat other foods high in carbohydrates or rich in starch and fructose, it will still be harmful to your health. Carbohydrate is the main energy-supplying substance of our human body. In addition to carbohydrates, protein and fat are also energy-supplying substances, but carbohydrates have the highest functional efficiency and the most.
Carbohydrate accounts for 55% to 65% of the energy in our normal and reasonable diet. If we don't eat carbohydrates for a long time, first of all, our bodies will become weak and hypoglycemia may occur. Secondly, the energy needed by the brain mainly comes from carbohydrate. Without carbonated water, the brain would have no energy supply. On the whole, we will become stupid. In order to maintain life activities, our body will decompose muscle glycogen and liver glycogen in muscles and liver, and damage our liver and muscles.
Stick to not eating rice for a month. You can eat steamed bread, bread and sweet potatoes, and you can also drink noodles and porridge. These are staple foods, which can provide sufficient energy and carbohydrates and can be partially or completely replaced, so of course they will not affect health. At the same time, it is not difficult to understand that if you used to eat only white rice, you would partially or even completely replace it with coarse grains and potatoes, which may be beneficial to your health.
Of course, what you may want to ask is, what effect will it have on your health if you insist on not eating staple food (including rice) for a month?
Staple food is the main source of human calories and carbohydrates, accounting for about 60% of human daily calorie intake, that is, about 1200 kcal, which comes from staple food. If you don't eat staple food at all, you will basically only eat fish, eggs, milk and fruits and vegetables. Fish, eggs and milk are rich in fat and protein, while vegetables and fruits are rich in dietary fiber, which makes you feel full. A small bowl of rice, about100g of raw rice, has a calorie of about 346 kcal. The calorie of 346 kcal is equivalent to1.400g of vegetables or 700g of fruits or 4 eggs or half a catty of lean pork. As you can imagine, if you don't eat staple food, no matter what kind of food you change to (plus fish, eggs and milk you originally wanted), your calorie intake will be reduced, which is a disguised diet. So if you don't eat staple food (including rice) for a month, your weight will drop significantly.
In fact, not eating for a while, or rarely eating staple food, is also a very popular way to lose weight, that is, a very low carbohydrate diet. This method, generally at the same time, should pay attention to eat more livestock and poultry lean meat, fish and shrimp and egg milk, to ensure adequate intake of protein, reduce muscle loss, and eat more fruits and vegetables to feel full. Finally, because the staple food is eaten very little or not, multivitamins (especially B vitamins) and minerals are easy to be insufficient, so it is best to supplement multivitamins alone. At the same time, due to a large amount of fat decomposition, many can not be completely metabolized, and a large number of ketone bodies will be produced. In order to prevent ketoacidosis, ketone bodies (such as urine ketone test paper) should be detected every day.
Therefore, a low-carbon diet that does not eat staple food at all, or rarely eats staple food (many of which are aimed at losing weight) has a certain risk of malnutrition and even ketoacidosis. If you really want to try, you should also do it under the guidance of professionals (such as nutritionists).
