However, does this method really help to lose weight? Let’s hear what professional nutritionists say!

Eating until 70% to 80% full every time is the first key to losing weight! This is not NG

Nutritionist Zhao Hanying said that before discussing whether eating tofu for dinner can help lose weight, the first thing to mention is that Song Hye Kyo’s concept of eating 70% to 80% full at every meal is very important for successful weight loss. In fact, being aware of whether you are full has always been the first priority concept that nutritionists teach to those who want to lose weight. This method can also help people develop the habit of chewing slowly, reduce bad behaviors such as overeating, eating too fast, and being too full, and avoid consuming too much food without realizing it.

However, nutritionist Zhao Hanying also reminded that when people implement the weight loss principle of eating 70% to 80% full at each meal, they should not eat high-sugar and high-fat foods such as bubble milk tea, sugary hand-shaken drinks, cakes, fried foods, refined starches, etc. until they are 80% full. They should still keep in mind the 579 principle of fruits and vegetables and develop a habit of balanced eating to truly lose weight successfully!

The rich soy fiber in soybeans can promote intestinal motility and improve constipation, delay the rise of blood sugar and provide a sense of fullness. It is a good source of protein for people who want to lose weight.

Is tofu a good choice of protein source for weight loss? Moderate replacement has these 3 benefits!

As for whether Song Hye Kyo’s weight loss method of eating tofu for dinner is feasible? Nutritionist Zhao Hanying pointed out that from a nutritional point of view, people who eat tofu, which is made mainly from soybeans and is easy to obtain and can be prepared in a variety of ways, have the following three major benefits during their weight loss period:

Benefit 1: The rich soy fiber in soybeans can promote intestinal motility and improve constipation. It can also delay the rise of blood sugar and provide a sense of fullness. It is a good source of protein for people who want to lose weight.

Benefit 2: Soybeans are a type of plant protein, and like animal proteins such as meat, fish, and eggs, they have the same high biological value. They can be effectively absorbed by the human body, broken down into essential amino acids, and recombined into proteins needed by the body. In addition, its zero cholesterol property can further reduce the cardiovascular burden.

Benefit 3: The female hormone precursor contained in soybeans - soy isoflavones are similar to estrogen in structure. Moderate intake can help regulate insufficient estrogen secretion. For female friends, tofu and other soy products can be regarded as a good choice of protein supplement during weight loss.

Eating only tofu for dinner is too boring! Nutritionist recommends "Tomato, Vegetable and Tofu Soup" for balanced nutrition

However, nutritionist Zhao Hanying also reminded that if people only eat tofu for dinner every day, not only will the taste be too monotonous and lack a bit of texture; over a long period of time it will also easily lead to a lack of variety in meals, making it difficult for people to continue to stick to it. Therefore, it is recommended that people who want to lose weight should choose a Korean tofu pot with rich vegetables for dinner; or make a bowl of warm and colorful "tomato vegetable tofu soup" at home, which are all very good light meals for weight loss:

The ingredients for tomato and vegetable soup include: 1 piece of tofu, 2 beef tomatoes, half an onion, 100 grams of cabbage, 10 grams of carrots, 1 corn (can be replaced with appropriate amount of pumpkin), 200cc of mushroom broth, a little black pepper, and a little basil leaves.

★Tomato Vegetable Tofu Soup

Ingredients: 1 piece of tofu, 2 beef tomatoes, half an onion, 100 grams of cabbage, 10 grams of carrots, 1 corn (can be replaced with appropriate amount of pumpkin), 200cc mushroom broth, a little black pepper, and a little basil leaves.

Preparation: Put the tomato and mushroom broth into a juicer and blend them, then pour them into the pot. Add onions, cabbage, carrots, corn, and tofu and cook until done. Finally, sprinkle with appropriate amount of basil leaves and black pepper to season and serve.

The most important thing is, if you want to effectively utilize the weight loss benefits of tofu, when choosing tofu, you should avoid the complicated processing of tofu made with soybean salad oil; instead choose tofu, tender tofu, and frozen tofu as a substitute, which can effectively reduce cholesterol and fat intake and reduce the burden on the body. If you are tired of tofu, you can also replace it with black beans or edamame, which are both good choices!

Eat tofu for dinner to lose weight. Is it okay to eat tofu as much as you want? Beware of these health risks!

As for those who want to emulate Song Hye Kyo’s weight loss method of eating tofu for dinner, can you eat unlimited amounts of tofu? Nutritionist Zhao Hanying explained that, generally speaking, a piece of commercially available flat tofu or Chinese tofu is equivalent to half a portion of protein. The recommended daily protein intake for normal adults is 7 to 13 servings, so as long as the protein intake for the three meals is properly distributed, there will probably be no problem.

However, we should still be aware that everything should be done in moderation. Because tofu is high in dietary fiber and rich in protein, it is a food that easily produces gas. Overeating may cause indigestion, bloating and other problems. In addition, the purine value of soy products is relatively high, and patients who are suffering from acute gout should not consume them. Therefore, it is still recommended to consume them in moderation.
