Enjoying food is the greatest pleasure in my life. After work, I often get together and chat with my friends. Sometimes I even eat four or five times a week. After dinner, I will try to walk and shop with my friends for at least an hour. Of course, I will worry about getting fat and going back to the bitter days of dieting.
Therefore, when there is no dinner, I will try to eat lightly and eat more vegetables and fish. At the same time, I will promote my metabolism through exercise (treadmill walking and fitness equipment), keep fit, keep healthy, pay off my food fat debt and enjoy the food better!
I was not born thin, and I was once a girl with edema.
Although I don't like to eat desserts and snacks like ordinary girls, I can't resist the temptation of white rice and pasta since I was a child. I even like barbecue with white rice. When I was in college, I loved spicy and salty stir-fry, spicy pot, barbecue, Sichuan food, Thai food, pasta, and even the sauce of hot pot was spicy!
At that time, I often stayed up until two or three in the middle of the night. Precious chicken chops with milk have become my favorite snack companion. In my heyday, I was 58 kilograms fat, and gradually began to have symptoms such as indigestion, poor defecation and gastroesophageal reflux. Eating fried and spicy food often makes pustules and pimples appear on my face.
My most dissatisfied parts after getting fat are my hips and thighs. Every time I buy pants or skirts, I am most upset! Especially in summer, many beautiful girls go shopping in shorts and skirts, which makes me envious, because I am too fat to wear them.
At that time, the body was easily swollen. Every evening, my calf is swollen and swollen like soaking in water, and my pants and shoes are tight. When I press the inside of my calf with my thumb, my skin will sink into a small concave hole and will float up after a while. Especially after eating barbecue and spicy pot with friends, I woke up the next day with a swollen face like a steamed stuffed bun. One week before the physiological period, it became more swollen and gained 2 Jin, which was very depressing.
So I decided to halve the amount of starch per meal and join the national standard club to practice the national standard dance twice a week, but sometimes I was addicted to the temptation of food, so the progress was slow. I lost about 5 kilograms a year and got stuck at 53 kilograms.

After graduating from college, I got a bachelor's degree in traditional Chinese medicine. Begin to learn the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and look at the pulse and tongue. I know that my constitution belongs to the type of "stomach heat and spleen dampness". Eating fried spicy food for a long time causes "stomach fever" constitution, gastroesophageal reflux and dry defecation. Stomach heat steams the head and face, leading to pustular acne; "Stomach heat disperses the valley", the more baked and fried things you eat, the stronger your stomach fire, the stronger your appetite and the more you want to eat. Drinking cold drinks and milk tea often will make the spleen transport and transform the "spleen dampness" constitution into water-dampness dysfunction, so it becomes easy to edema.
And "getting wet", just like the principle of water flowing downwards, makes my lower body fat, and the heavy taste of food makes it more difficult for my body to drain water, which is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire of edema. I just know that obesity is also related to physical fitness!
It is useless to eat less and exercise more if you want to control your weight healthily. In fact, the imbalance of internal organs will also cause the basal metabolic rate to deteriorate. I am determined to actively control my weight. In addition to halving the amount of starch and replacing red meat with white meat, I also reduced the habit of eating heavy-flavored foods such as roasted and fried spicy food, and reluctantly quit bubble tea. When eating hot pot, change the dipping sauce into refreshing radish sauce, chopped green onion and less salty soy sauce, instead of high-calorie and salty.
In addition, according to my constitution of "stomach heat and spleen dampness", I ate some Chinese medicines for clearing stomach heat and removing spleen dampness. After half a year, my skin and stomach conditions gradually improved, and 3 kilograms of fat stuck to my body finally got rid of it!
But I still love it. How can we keep a slim figure?
The key to success is the simple details in life.
I often share it with friends and patients. In fact, "whether you will be fat or thin depends on the simple details in life." As long as you pay a little attention, you will lose one kilogram and one kilogram unconsciously!

Whether it's the tips for choosing a dish for dinner, or how to choose a drink that can satisfy your appetite without getting fat, and can simply get rid of too many calories after a full meal, these are all shared with you in the following content.

Doctor Zhang gets rid of edema and enjoys the trilogy of "thin" food and not fat.
I am very concerned that I am prone to edema and pay more attention to the curve of the lower body, so I often beat the meridian points to eliminate edema. The following is a trilogy that even lazy people can do:
One step: the beating of Sanyin meridian: promoting the blood lymphatic circulation of the lower body.
After taking a shower and applying leg soothing lotion, you can lift your palm and make a "three yin meridians slap", and pat it three times along the three meridians of the calf: liver meridian, spleen meridian and kidney meridian. Beating can enhance blood circulation, promote metabolism, eliminate leg edema and obesity, make leg curves more beautiful, and in addition, it is quite helpful to relieve leg pain all day at work.

The so-called "Yin San Meridian" refers to the liver meridian of Foot Jueyin, the spleen meridian of Foot Taiyin and the kidney meridian of Foot Shaoyin, which mainly circulate in the inner thighs and calves. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "Yin meridian governs blood", so the dredging of Yin San meridians is related to lymph and blood circulation in the lower body. After bathing, it can strengthen the beating of meridians in the legs, improve the swelling of the legs and beautify the curves of the legs.
Flapping direction:
Because the Sanyinjing of the foot is flapping from the foot up to the chest and abdomen and from the bottom up along the meridians, that is, the inside of the foot → the inside of the calf → the inside of the thigh → the inside of the groin.
Flapping method:
Tap three times with a hollow palm or a brush from bottom to top, and tap left and right feet alternately. The feeling of slapping should be hot and swollen.
Two steps: * * Sanyinjiao and Yinlingquan points: eliminate edema and bend the leg curve.
