Can drinking yogurt help you lose weight? Doctor: Adding bananas doubles the effect

Chinese people are crazy about losing weight, and the "drinking yogurt to lose weight method" is widely circulated on the Internet, which can help lose 3 kilograms in one month. Doctors point out that yogurt can promote gastrointestinal motility, and the amino acids it contains can promote metabolism and burn fat. However, this rapid weight loss method is prone to nutritional imbalance and weight regain. It is recommended to use yogurt with bananas for healthy weight loss.

Liu Bowen, executive director of the Taiwan Obesity Health Education and Prevention Association and an obesity specialist, pointed out that yogurt is a dairy product made from milk. After pasteurization, beneficial bacteria (fermentation agents) are added to the milk, which is then fermented and cooled and bottled. Studies have found that yogurt contains probiotics, which can promote gastrointestinal motility and digestion. At the same time, calcium can help burn fat and assist in weight loss.

Yogurt is low in calories and promotes bowel movements

From the perspective of calories, drinking low-fat yogurt with three meals a day only has about 320 calories, which is much less than the 2000 calories a normal person consumes a day, and it is indeed possible to lose weight. At the same time, yogurt has the effect of strengthening the stomach and intestines, can increase the metabolic rate, and for people with constipation, can promote bowel movements and achieve the goal of weight loss.

However, it should be noted that yogurt weight loss is only an auxiliary method of weight loss. Using "drinking yogurt to fast to lose weight" will lead to nutritional imbalance and affect your health. It is recommended to increase protein intake on a daily basis, such as fish, milk, and soy milk in white foods, to avoid nutritional deficiencies.

Doctors remind that real weight loss is to reduce body fat, and yogurt can only help gastrointestinal motility and eliminate stool.

Drinking yogurt as water can make you fatter

Doctor Liu Boen emphasized that you should never drink yogurt as water. Drinking too much yogurt will cause excessive stomach acid, affect the secretion of gastric mucosa and digestive enzymes, and reduce appetite. People who have excessive stomach acid, often feel spleen and stomach deficiency and abdominal distension should not drink too much. For healthy people, about 250 grams per day is more appropriate.

There are a wide variety of yogurts available in the market. In order to avoid the taste being too sour, a large amount of sugar is added, which leads to high calories. Therefore, it is recommended to make your own yogurt, which is more reliable, or you can buy low-calorie, low-fat yogurt, which not only contains calcium to help burn fat, but also does not have excessive calories.

Banana resistant starch can increase satiety

Doctor Liu Bowen also reminded that real weight loss is to reduce body fat, and yogurt can at most help gastrointestinal motility and eliminate stool. However, yogurt is rich in probiotics. If it is eaten with fruits such as bananas and apples, it can increase the intake of dietary fiber, improve satiety, and can be a good helper in weight control.

Take bananas and yogurt as an example. Because bananas contain a large amount of "resistant starch", which is not easily broken down by digestive enzymes, they can make you feel full and inhibit obesity. They can be eaten as a substitute for meals. It is recommended to blend them into juice together with the banana peel and drink it, which can help you lose weight healthily and stay away from obesity. Method: 1 banana, 200cc low-fat yogurt, blend into juice.

【Intimate Reminder】：

During the yogurt weight loss method, you must not drink other sugary drinks, because the calories in drinks are very high, especially at night, otherwise the weight loss effect will be greatly reduced; at the same time, snacks must be given up. It is recommended to combine it with simple weight loss exercises, such as brisk walking, jogging, etc., to make the weight loss effect better.
