"meal replacement" is food used to replace part or all of the main meal. Common meal replacement products on the market include meal replacement powder, meal replacement stick, meal replacement milkshake and so on. Meal replacement powder usually uses cereals, beans, potatoes, etc. as the main ingredients. It is a single or comprehensive powder with the characteristics of high fiber, low calorie and strong satiety.
This way of losing weight is unhealthy and may even cause harm to the body. First of all, these meal replacement products are basically powdered, which is very unfavorable for postprandial blood sugar control. Secondly, eating meal replacement powder for a long time may also lead to malnutrition.
The proportion of most nutrients in meal replacement powder on the market is very uneven. For example, meal replacement powder in cereals and meal replacement powder in fruits and vegetables are often low in protein, and the content of vitamin C is not up to the daily recommended amount. Milk shake meal replacement is easy to lack vitamins and minerals.
If you only eat meal replacement products for a long time, it will easily lead to physical weakness and cause various diseases, such as dizziness, fatigue, hair loss and other malnutrition reactions.
What's more, at present, the meal replacement food industry is a mixture of fish and pearls. In order to lose weight quickly, some unscrupulous merchants illegally add pharmaceutical ingredients harmful to human body, such as sibutramine hydrochloride, phenolphthalein, diuretics and even amphetamine, which cause serious damage to liver and kidney and even endanger life.
Extended data:
1, "enzyme" is actually "enzyme"
What exactly is the enzyme that sounds "tall"? Robing, director of the Dietitian Teaching and Research Section of Dalian Vocational College, said that the word "enzyme" came from Japan and was introduced to Chinese mainland from Taiwan Province Province. Its essence is enzyme, which is a kind of nutrient mainly composed of protein. "Enzyme" is just a tall name of "enzyme", which has deceived many people.
We all have enzymes in our bodies, which are really necessary for all life activities. Without enzymes, people will get sick, get old and even die. But even if the enzyme is lacking, it is difficult to supplement it by "eating". Because enzymes are all from protein, they have the subtle characteristics of protein. Even if you drink one kilogram of "fruit enzyme", you will get only 0.2g of protein, so it is better to eat a medium-sized apple.
Because the enzyme lacks protection when passing through the digestive tract, it can't pass through gastric acid first, and it will be digested and denatured by gastric acid. Even if you eat that little enzyme, it won't work. Therefore, it is impossible for the elderly to realize their dream of health care based on "enzyme".
2. The effect of losing weight is a misunderstanding.
Searching for "enzymes" on the Internet is not only varied, but also the "enzyme diet" like this is dazzling. Is the online "enzyme" with a monthly sales volume of tens of thousands and its beauty effects of slimming, slimming and detoxification really so magical?
Because all kinds of biochemical reactions in the human body need the participation of enzymes, for example, fat burning needs lipase. This has become the theoretical basis of "enzyme weight loss". Generally speaking, a low-calorie and high-protein diet helps to lose weight. Because enzymes contain protein ingredients, using enzymes instead of diet itself is to control diet, which may lead to weight loss by eating by mistake.
However, this effect is more caused by diet control than the magical weight loss effect of the enzyme itself. If the diet is normal, using edible enzymes has no effect on weight loss. Excessive intake of any food is not good for your health. If the diet is completely replaced by enzymes, it is still risky and can be eaten in moderation.
