What is the "half sugar" half sugar diet? Simply put, it is the "semi-sugar diet" of "halving the staple food". In terms of rice, it is half a bowl, toast is half a slice, and noodles are halved; There are also leftover side dishes, such as meat, fish and vegetables. , are not * * *.
Sugar mainly exists in carbohydrates.
Kijuro Nomura, a Japanese gastroenterologist, said in his new book, "Sugar halved, 1 year lost 9 kilograms" that you can eat rice, noodles and toast to reduce fat, lower blood sugar and prevent diabetes.
Before we know how to have a "semi-sugar diet", we need to know the relationship between the source of sugar and blood sugar. Sugar mainly exists in carbohydrates, such as rice, noodles, bread and so on. When carbohydrates are absorbed by the human body, they will be converted into dietary fiber and sugar. Among them, dietary fiber will be excreted after passing through the large intestine and small intestine; Sugar will be broken down into glucose, which will be absorbed by the blood and become blood sugar.
Blood sugar is the cause of obesity.
Blood sugar is the main energy source of human body, but it is not enough. Excessive blood sugar can damage blood vessels, make insulin secretion abnormal, and form diabetes. In addition, excessive blood sugar will be converted into triglycerides and stored in the body in the form of body fat. In other words, blood sugar is the cause of obesity.
Why is high blood sugar converted into triglycerides? Because triglyceride is made of insulin, it provides glycerol needed by triglyceride fat and increases the storage of triglyceride. However, only blood sugar (sugar) can promote insulin secretion; Therefore, as long as we control blood sugar and reduce sugar intake, we can reduce insulin secretion, thus avoiding the formation of a large number of triglycerides and preventing obesity.
Learn to imitate the staple food before eating half-cut sugar to lose weight.
Sugar mainly exists in carbohydrates, such as rice, noodles, bread and so on. It is really difficult to completely cut off these staple foods. According to Dr. Bernstein, the pioneer of sugar-restricted diet therapy in the United States, the so-called "halving sugar" is not to completely ban sugar intake, but to control the sugar intake of a meal at half of the average, about 20g to 40 g.
When you want to advance from "half-cut sugar" to "full-cut sugar", please remember the principle of "imitating the appearance of staple food". What is "imitating the appearance of staple food"? In short, low-sugar ingredients are made into the shape and taste of "rice" and "noodles"; In this way, while chewing and enjoying, we can cheat our brains to "eat" at the same time, thus eliminating the pressure of "wanting to eat", so that the sugar-free life can go on happily for a long time, gradually integrate into life, and lose weight easily without any pressure.
