Vegetarianism has many advantages. Many people are vegetarian in order to lose weight, get rid of diseases, or pursue health, but some people get fatter and fatter, which leads to many problems. According to outpatient observation, many vegetarians often have the myth that "vegetarianism means eating vegetables". Once the diet is out of control, it is easy to accumulate fat, leading to obesity.

Hou Yizheng, a nutritionist at Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital, points out that vegetarian food has become very popular in Taiwan Province Province. Apart from religious relations, most people are vegetarian for the sake of good health. However, many vegetarian dishes on the market do not conform to the concept of healthy vegetarianism. Once nutrition management is out of control, it is easy to fall into the obesity trap.

Vegetarian, fat, away from 2 mines.

In fact, being a vegetarian has a lot of knowledge. Studies have shown that vegetarian diet can prevent hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and even cancer, but in terms of nutrient intake, we should first stay away from two "obesity mines", namely "1 exceeding 1 imbalance":

1. Too much oil: Many artificial vegetarians are inherently high in oil. If eaten in large quantities, it will be converted into excess oil in the body, leading to obesity.

2. Fatty acid imbalance: Vegetarians who love snacks tend to consume too much saturated fatty acids, such as coconut oil and palm oil, which makes the body prone to inflammation and increases the inflammatory hormone IL-6 in the body, which is more likely to cause obesity, edema and arthritis.

Delicate and delicious, the more you eat, the fatter you get

Nutritionist Hou Yizheng emphasized that some people think that vegetarianism is equal to not eating meat, so as long as you don't eat meat, you will be healthy. In fact, vegetarians in China pay attention to delicacy and taste, and eat a lot of refined carbohydrates (white rice, white noodles, bread, even sweets, etc. ) and vegetarian processed products (gluten, sausage, vegetarian belly, vegetarian meat, etc. Most of these foods are high in calories, and a lot of oil is added during processing, or frying and frying are used to increase flavor. Long-term consumption, easy to gain weight, and derived from hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia and other metabolic problems.

It is suggested that vegetarians should mainly use natural ingredients, such as leafy vegetables, melons, mushrooms and fruits. , supplemented by various phytochemicals and dietary fiber, bean curd, raw bean skin, dried bean curd and other less processed bean products are taken as the source of protein, cooking with less oil, salt and sugar, avoiding artificial vegetarian materials, and effectively achieving the effect of being vegetarian without getting fat.

Some people think that vegetarianism = no meat, so it is healthy as long as you don't eat meat, but it hides the risk of obesity.
