Must you avoid eating starch to lose weight? Ella Chen breaks the myth of white rice and maintains a good figure without reducing sugar

In recent years, the concept of "reduced sugar diet" has become popular. Many people eat less starch and sugar in order to lose weight. However, when I talked to Ella Chen about her diet control this time, I found that she actually did the opposite and used white rice as her staple food and dessert. Not only did she have a better figure, but she also lost 3 kilograms quickly.

Ella Chen shared with us that she recently went to see a Chinese doctor, who told her that "white rice" is a good source of protein and can also "remove moisture." Only then did she realize that she could eat white rice if she wanted to lose weight. "Many times Chinese medicine practitioners will tell you that your body is very cold, but in fact it is because you have too much moisture. Many people will have allergic reactions on their skin, which is also due to moisture. So now I am very obedient and eat white rice, and I eat very well. I will buy high-quality rice and cook it with Evian natural mineral water, because water quality is also very important."

Ella said that it was only after seeing a Chinese doctor that she realized that she had been treating her body in the wrong way for a long time. "I used to eat lettuce salad and chicken breast almost every day. Those foods are cold, so my body was very cold, my hands and feet were prone to coldness, and I would have edema when I got up in the morning." But after changing to eating white rice for three meals a day, the 3 kilograms she had gained from overeating a while ago actually dropped immediately, returning to her original weight of 50 kilograms. After taking Chinese medicine to remove a lot of moisture, the edema problem improved a lot.

In addition to white rice, Ella will pair it with vegetables and meat. She usually chooses pork, chicken, and fish as meat because beef and mutton are dry for her, so she avoids them. For vegetables, she avoids very cold melons. She can only eat pumpkin. According to Chinese medicine, fruits are also eaten raw, so strictly speaking, they cannot be eaten. "Raw food means cold food. For example, I used to have diarrhea whenever I ate oysters. It has been proven time and time again."

Eat rice as a staple food and snack

Ella not only eats rice as a staple food, but also as a snack. In the morning, she makes two triangular rice balls. The ingredients are canned tuna, tuna floss and a little mentaiko, which makes it very flavorful, and then she mixes it with some seaweed floss. I take one for breakfast and one to take out, and eat a little as a snack when I'm hungry in the afternoon. "I found that eating this way didn't make me fatter. Instead, I felt more energetic and stronger. My body was also lighter and I was less prone to swelling. It really overturned my previous impression."

But Ella also emphasized that although you have to eat white rice, if you want to lose weight, you have to reduce the amount of white rice for dinner. In addition, you should try to avoid sweets and ice cream. You can break the rules occasionally to satisfy your cravings.

How to slim down your arms and get rid of mommy hands

Because Ella's heart is not strong enough, she is not suitable for intense exercise. She is not a person with strong self-control, so she arranges classes with teachers every week, two yoga classes and two ZUMBA classes. "In fact, exercise can be very comprehensive. You can try everything and break your previous thinking. It's just like your attitude towards life. You can try everything and you don't have to limit yourself to a certain state."

Although she is satisfied with her current body shape, Ella still wants to work on her arms the most. "My arms will definitely get thicker after I become a mother and have children. My breasts get thicker during pregnancy, and the area where my arms are connected will be loosened, causing a lot of fat to accumulate. It will really make a difference."

When she has free time, Ella will do more arm stretching exercises. "You have to imagine that you have an A4 paper under your armpit and then pull it back. Your arms will feel a little sore, and then lifting weights or dumbbells will be very helpful."
