Is diet really useful?
There are many kinds of diet meals.
After the Spring Festival this year, there is a paragraph circulating in the circle of friends: "Every time you gain three pounds in the New Year, take a closer look at three pounds." In gyms in some communities, just after the Spring Festival, many people come to lose weight, and everyone seems to want to lose the long meat during the holiday.
On the internet and in the circle of friends, there are also many tips to lose weight, both through exercise and by using special recipes.
Among them, the way to lose weight by eating diet meals is sought after by many netizens because it does not require a lot of exercise. The reporter also carefully combed all kinds of diet meals on the Internet.
■ Method 1: cucumber+egg
Within a month, insist on taking cucumbers and eggs as the staple food every day. The principle of cucumber-egg diet is to use propanol diacid contained in fresh cucumber to inhibit the conversion of carbohydrate to fat, and at the same time, to supplement protein needed by human body with non-fat eggs. Dieters need to strictly follow the diet and implement the weight loss plan for one month. The reporter noticed that eggs, cucumbers, grapes, vegetable salads, coffee and so on. It became the main food in the diet menu for this month, but no staple food was found in the recipe.
■ Method 2: Eat only fruit, not staple food.
As the name implies, eating only fruit instead of staple food all day is a way to lose weight. Take fruit as the staple food for three meals a day, and supplement nutrition with vitamin tablets. Fruit tastes good, so this diet has become the first choice for many women who love beauty.
■ Method 3: Slim soup
Cut onions, green peppers, celery, tomatoes, cabbage and other vegetables into small pieces, add water, simmer for 3 hours, and season with salt. Drink 10 or more times a day, each time 1 bowl or more, and you can lose 4 to 5 kilograms for seven consecutive days. When drinking, you need to warm the water, you can't stew it with fire, or you can drink it directly without heating. Usually it only needs to be stewed once a day.
Confusion: Eating diet meals is easy to rebound.
However, for these diet meals circulating on the Internet, some netizens who have tried have also raised their own doubts: "In a short time, the weight will indeed be reduced, but once the normal diet is restored, or the calorie intake is not controlled, the weight will rebound immediately."
In addition, the reporter also noticed that the principle of diet meals is also varied. Some suggest controlling the intake of staple food, while others suggest avoiding foods with high fat content.
Suggestion: Eat less food with empty calories.
So, who should I listen to? Our reporter connected Zhang Dahong, a professor at Oregon State University. Professor Zhang told reporters that in fact, any theory, because it needs to be demonstrated, will cite favorable cases to prove its own theory, which is biased to some extent. "Don't take losing weight as a particularly complicated thing." Professor Zhang believes that the essence of losing weight is that the calorie intake through food is less than that of human body. Therefore, in the process of losing weight, as long as you pay attention to avoid eating empty calories, other foods can be eaten properly. "Empty calories refer to foods that only provide calories without nutrition, such as cooking oil and sugar."
In the interview, Professor Zhang told reporters that losing weight is not complicated, and he also introduced a simple and easy way to lose weight.
The first step is to calculate your basal metabolic rate through related software.
Male basal metabolic rate (kcal/day) = 66+( 13.7× body weight) +(5× body weight) -(6.8× age)
Female basal metabolic rate (kcal/day) = 655+(9.6× body weight) +( 1.8× body weight) -(4.7× age)
The second step is to arrange the daily food intake according to your basic metabolism, which can be combined by calorimeters of various foods.
The third step is to do aerobic exercise such as walking and swimming. (Reporter Li Huanyu)
