In the film, Zhang Ziyi presents a full day's itinerary in Cannes, where she only drinks bean sprout soup for the day. The video also showed off a shocking "ant waist", and many fans left comments such as "This waist feels incredible", "What is clear water bean sprout soup? I love milk tea, I don't understand", etc. Speaking of bean sprout soup, people who love watching Korean dramas may have a more profound impression of it. Whenever they drink too much, they will drink bean sprout soup the next morning to sober up. However, it is rare to see someone like Zhang Ziyi drinking bean sprout soup to lose weight.

Famous weight loss doctor: Drinking only bean sprout soup is an extremely low-calorie weight loss method

Liu Bowen, executive director of the Taiwan Obesity Education and Prevention Association and a weight loss specialist, said that the way to eat bean sprout soup to lose weight is to directly put the bean sprouts into clean water and cook them, and then eat them together with the soup. One of them is to utilize the principle of low calories, and by containing dietary fiber ingredients, it can make people feel full and achieve the purpose of weight loss.

Analysis of every 100 grams of soybeans shows that there are about 4.5 grams of carbohydrates, about 1.5 grams of fat, about 4.5 grams of protein, and more importantly, about 1.5 grams of dietary fiber. There are also small amounts of other vitamins. According to its ingredient content, 100 grams of soybean sprouts can produce about 45 calories, so its total calories are very low. It is medically defined as an extremely low-calorie weight loss method.

Bean sprout soup weight loss method may cause nutritional imbalance, and in severe cases, acute ketoacidosis

The main ingredient of bean sprout soup is plant protein, which has the advantage of being easily absorbed. However, many functions of the human body also require animal protein to supplement essential amino acids, including 8 kinds of amino acids: alanine, methionine, tryptophan, leucine, and threonine. The source of these amino acids cannot be supplemented by soybean sprouts alone. If they are lacking, they will cause emotional disorders, cardiovascular diseases, fatty liver, arteriosclerosis, decreased resistance, sleep disorders and other problems.

Dr. Liu Boen said that if the calories of a very low-calorie diet are too low to maintain the basic daily metabolic rate, it will cause acute ketoacidosis. Other side effects include: endocrine disorders, constipation, menstrual disorders, mood disorders, sympathetic neurasthenia syndrome, hair loss, gastrointestinal dysfunction, etc. Therefore, it must be implemented under the supervision of a physician.

Can drinking soybean sprout soup help you sober up? Doctor: It may be that the addition of chili peppers accelerates the metabolism of alcohol

In addition, it is common in Korean dramas to cook soybean sprout soup to sober up, but there is actually no medical or scientific literature to support this. In addition, ingredients such as chili peppers and other stimulating ingredients are added to the sobering soybean sprout soup. Perhaps these stimulating effects speed up blood circulation and accelerate the elimination of alcohol remaining in the body.

Principles of healthy weight loss: balanced intake of protein, carbohydrates, and appropriate amount of fat

The general principle of weight loss is to increase the body's metabolic rate, reduce hunger in the body, or maximize satiety. The correct way to lose weight is to maintain a balanced intake of protein, carbohydrates, and an appropriate amount of fat in your diet, which is the principle of healthy weight loss. Of course, in the initial stages of weight loss, reducing carbohydrate intake appropriately and increasing dietary fiber can also achieve the effect of increasing satiety. Please note that the effect may be more obvious if regular aerobic exercise is added.

Dr. Liu Boen reminds us that the personal weight loss methods used by celebrities cannot be applied to all obese patients. After all, obesity is a disease, and we must find out the cause of obesity and prescribe the right medicine to achieve the goal of healthy weight loss. Just like if you want to achieve effective weight loss by just drinking soybean sprout soup, many side effects may occur before you achieve your goal, such as: muscle loss and atrophy, sympathetic neurasthenia syndrome, menstrual disorders, constipation, decreased immunity, etc., and there is even a risk of acute ketoacidosis.
