A must-eat for weight loss! Choose the right 5 superfoods to help you repair your body

You want to feel happy and strong, not depressed and lack of energy, so the health problem you want to solve is excess weight. Let me just say this is a book about weight loss, but it is not a traditional weight loss book. This book is not about losing weight so you look good, but about letting food repair your body inside your body. As long as you do this, your weight will be normal and you will have a body that can move freely.

Losing weight also reduces the burden on arteries and joints

After all, a healthy weight has a domino effect, improving heart, inflammation, mood and other issues. After losing weight, the burden on arteries and joints is also reduced, reducing the risk of diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and stroke. Lose weight and you have a healthy future. In the following process, there are 5 superfoods to help you at each stage. Please read on to find out how they can help.

F (good fats): Omega-3s have been shown to reduce belly fat. According to a paper published in the International Journal of Obesity, people on a reduced-calorie diet who ate salmon (which is rich in omega-3s) three days a week lost more belly fat than dieters who ate the same number of calories but did not eat fish. How do good fats help with weight loss? The answer is to promote metabolism and suppress hunger.

I (Ideal Protein): Lean protein is key to maintaining satiety and is the building block of body tissue. In addition, ideal protein can also help with weight loss. According to a study from New York University, people who eat enough recommended protein intake have lower levels of excess body fat. In addition, the body is less efficient in digesting protein, which means that some calories need to be consumed to digest protein. In other words, the calories generated by protein are discounted - the calories actually absorbed by the body are less than the calories contained in the protein.

X (Extra fruits and vegetables): Fiber keeps you full so you don’t eat too much. Fruits and vegetables are high in fiber. Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables for breakfast can keep you energetic throughout the day. Three recent studies have shown that vegetarians lose more weight than meat eaters when losing weight. (This doesn’t mean that eating meat is bad, it’s just that vegetarians tend to eat more vegetables.)

E (carbohydrates that provide energy): Eating complex carbohydrates makes you less hungry. A recent study showed that subjects who ate a whole-grain-rich diet for 6 weeks burned 92 calories more per day than those who ate a refined grain diet.

S (Sweets for Special Occasions): If you eat too many sweets, your blood sugar and hunger levels will soar, but strategically consuming sweets can actually be good for your body. A study in Italy found that eating dark chocolate (70% cocoa content) for a week would reduce waist circumference. Why? Because dark chocolate is higher in cocoa, it can fight inflammation and boost insulin sensitivity, both of which affect how the body stores fat.

Think of it this way: you're not following a strict plan just to lose a few pounds. You can improve your health by consuming the top 5 superfoods and adopting some smart strategies to change your eating habits and lose weight at the same time. Not only will you lose weight this way, your blood tests will show improvement and you will feel healthier.

Control the knife and fork on the plate yourself so that you won't be attacked by the scalpel

There was a patient who made me understand the connection between diet and health. A man came into the hospital with chest pain and severe blocked arteries, and we determined he needed heart bypass surgery. The man was in his fifties, weighed about 204 kilograms, and needed surgery as soon as possible to save his life.

The problem was that he was too heavy for the operating table to bear. The hospital was powerless to help, and we felt very sad. This man had only one option left, to lose weight and go under the knife so that we could perform the surgery on him.

When a person has only one chance left, he will go all out, and this person is no exception. He started to diet hard, and his staple foods were vegetables, lean meat, and olive oil (which look very similar to my 5 superfoods). He lost 45.4 kg in 6 months, which was a very impressive result. His motivation was strong, and since he didn't want to die, the only thing he could do was lose weight. At this time, he had lost weight to 159 kilograms and was ready to go on the operating table for surgery.

The reader might guess that the man then came to the hospital, we performed surgery on him, and then he lived a happy life with a healthy heart.

But that’s not how the story ends. The real story is: he went to the hospital to fill out surgery documents, and I asked him about his current symptoms. The man said, "Well, it seems to be going away." He was no longer out of breath when he walked, and his chest pain was gone. We gave him a thorough checkup and found that not only had his heart disease-related symptoms been alleviated, but his blood vessel blockages had been largely cleared, making surgery unnecessary.

It's amazing. Simply by switching to a superfood diet and losing weight, the man reduced his risk of heart attack and eliminated many other problems. That's because excess fat triggers a cascade of chemical reactions that wreak havoc on your body's systems. So if you need or want to lose weight, consider this the starting point. Simply by changing your eating habits, you'll be on your way to a leaner, stronger body.
