The principle of weight loss is to follow vegetables, meat and rice? Nutritionist: It’s better to drink clear soup first

A while ago, the fan club received a private message from a netizen asking: "Do I have to follow the order of vegetables, meat, and rice when losing weight?"

Eating in the right order helps you lose weight!

There are two artists in China who have successfully lost weight, namely Xiao Zhen and Xiao Tian Tian. They have both publicly stated that "eating order" is the key to successful weight loss. Xiaozhen’s eating order is “protein, vegetables, starch”; while Xiaotiantian’s is “drink soup first, then eat vegetables, and finally eat meat and rice together”.

Should you eat vegetables first or meat first?

Basically, the ideal order of eating during weight loss should be "eat foods with low calorie density first, and eat foods with higher calorie density later." Therefore, the first thing to eat should be "clear soup". Drinking soup before a meal can increase the volume of food in the stomach, increase the feeling of fullness, and make you eat less at subsequent meals.

When choosing soups, choose mainly clear soups rather than thick soups (such as corn soup, pumpkin soup, and thickened hot and sour soup), because thick soups usually contain flour, cornstarch, and oil, and have higher calories than clear soups.

Next, "eat a big plate of vegetables." Vegetables are rich in fiber and need to be chewed carefully, which can naturally slow down the speed of eating. In addition, eating a lot of vegetables can fill part of the space in the gastrointestinal tract, delay the rise in blood sugar, and make it less likely to accumulate fat.

Finally, after drinking the soup and eating the vegetables, you should be half full. At this time, you can eat some "high-quality proteins such as beans, fish, eggs, and meat", as well as "rice and pasta" that are higher in calories. Naturally, it will not be easy to overeat. In this way, you can achieve the effect of reducing calorie intake.

Regardless of the order, heat control is still important

However, it is worth noting that portion control is still very important.

If you eat in the right order but eat too much (too high overall calories) or the food is not distributed properly (for example, more rice and less vegetables), you will not be able to achieve the effect of losing weight!

I think, whether it is Xiaozhen who eats meat first, or Xiaotiantian who drinks soup first, the reason why they can lose weight is definitely because they control their overall calories. In addition, if you eat a full meal "after exercise", you should eat rice and meat first, and vegetables last, so as to accelerate muscle synthesis and help gain muscle and lose fat.

In short, there is no right or wrong way to lose weight, as long as it can help you lose weight, it is a good method!
