Perhaps some friends will think that appreciating other people's bodies is vulgar and superficial, but everyone has a love for beauty, and it is definitely more open-minded to give when encountering good things.
Therefore, it is understandable that many girls now pursue a slimmer figure, and thinness is beauty. However, some women go further and further on the road of "seeking thinness". They are obsessed with seeking thinness and even sacrifice their health. The market of diet pills is becoming more and more popular, and there are some extreme methods to lose weight, such as vomiting and stomach cutting.
However, some women realize the importance of health and seek healthier ways to lose weight. Eating light food is one of them, but many people hold a wait-and-see attitude because they don't know much about this diet structure. Today, this article will take you to know more about light food.
1. What is a light meal?
Light food originated in Europe, the original intention is simple, fast and full. Today, because more and more people begin to pay attention to health, the cooking method of ingredients with light index finger is simple and healthy, pursuing low calorie, low calorie, rich in fiber and less processing.
Therefore, there is no specific food in a light diet. As long as it is healthy and light, it can be regarded as a light meal, such as Cantonese morning tea, steamed food or ordinary food with little oil and salt when cooking.
Let's take a look at the common ingredients of light food.
(1) Vegetables:
Broccoli.
Broccoli has a striking green coat and an innate "talent" for antioxidation, so it is not surprising that it is called a frequent visitor in light food. In addition, broccoli is becoming more and more popular because of its good satiety and low calorie. Some people use it to make sushi instead of rice online.
Lettuce.
This is familiar to everyone. Lettuce is a typical green leafy vegetable. Even hamburgers that are regarded as junk food will bring one or two pieces. Dried lettuce is crisp to chew, and leaves give off sweetness when chewed. It is refreshing and can supplement vitamin C, so it is naturally indispensable in light meals.
Okra.
Friends who eat okra for the first time may feel uncomfortable, because its taste is sticky and slippery, which is quite different from other vegetables and has a little fishy smell, but it is rich in milk polysaccharide and pectin, which can help the stomach digest food better and protect gastrointestinal mucosa. At the same time, if you get used to its unique taste, you can't stop.
Purple potato.
This is a good starch substitute, because purple sweet potato is not only rich in starch, but also contains many minerals, cellulose and anthocyanins, especially anthocyanins, which have a wonderful effect of delaying aging. Moreover, protein in purple sweet potato can be easily decomposed for the body to use, and its sweetness can reconcile the monotony of light meals.
(2) Fruit:
Avocados.
Avocado has been rated as the most nutritious fruit by Guinness, which shows its high nutritional value. Avocado almost covers the basic substances needed by life, even some common elements and trace elements are rich, and it contains a lot of healthy fats-unsaturated fatty acids and vitamins. As a staple food in some areas, it has the reputation of "forest cream" and is a rare product.
Blueberries. This is also a powerful fruit that is helpful for health care. Blueberries are rich in anthocyanins and other nutrients, which have the effects of caring skin, enhancing eyesight and relieving fatigue. Moreover, the color of blueberries is also very beautiful, which can play the role of embellishment.
(3) staple food:
Oats. Oats are rich in cellulose, which can promote digestion and help solve constipation.
Xiaomi. Its unique advantage is that it contains complete protein (containing all kinds of essential amino acids in a proper proportion), which is only found in animal food, and is also rich in other nutrients.
The above leads to several kinds of fruits and vegetables that are often used to make simple meals. In fact, there are far more than these. Many foods are healthy as long as they are properly matched.
Second, some questions about simple meals.
Question 1: Does a light meal really help you lose weight?
This must be what everyone wants to know most, because although the taste of simple meals is acceptable, it is obviously not as interesting as ordinary meals, and most of them started to use simple meals for the purpose of losing weight.
The answer is: if you can persist for a long time and don't add meals to yourself privately, you can achieve the effect of slimming.
In fact, simple meals pay more attention to health. Through the combination of various healthy ingredients and healthy cooking methods, we can get a meal with low sugar, low salt and low oil, and the nutrition is very balanced. In addition, always being full is also harmful to your health, so the weight in a light meal is less than that in a normal meal, because eating too many good things will go bad.
Therefore, if a person can insist on eating light food for a long time, and at the beginning, he will control his appetite and not eat anything else, and his body will enter a healthy state, which naturally includes his weight.
Question 2: Can I still eat meat after a light meal?
The answer is: yes.
Friends who don't know about light food may define light food as vegetarian, but in fact, not only meat can be eaten, but many light foods are indispensable. The common ingredients of meat are not mentioned above, but I want to put them together here.
Light meat is also exquisite, not all meat is suitable for use. Generally, high-quality meat with low fat and high protein is better, such as chicken breast, fish and shrimp, which can supplement high-quality protein for the body and contain many other good nutrients.
On the contrary, although we advocate eating more fruits and vegetables, blindly eating vegetarian food will also lose a lot of nutrition, because some elements needed by the body are unique to meat food.
3. What should I pay attention to when eating light food?
1. Avoid unreasonable light food.
A friend heard that light food has a miraculous effect of losing weight and is also good for the body, so he blindly began to eat light food. The light food cooked in restaurants outside is mostly fruits and vegetables, and the human body has a basic metabolism every day. Eating too much will not only fail to meet the basic needs of the body, but will be harmful to the body, and people will also be listless, inattentive and exhausted.
2. It is not recommended for middle-aged and elderly people.
People's intestines and stomach will gradually degenerate and become fragile with age, so we should eat more digestible foods, such as porridge and steamed bread. The cellulose in simple meals is difficult for this group to digest, and may also aggravate the original digestive system diseases.
After the explanation of this article, I hope everyone will have a clearer and more rational view of light food, and don't blindly follow the crowd. Finally, I wish everyone peace and joy, and every day is a happy little day!
