Eat Japanese food to lose weight! Choose these foods and you won't get fat

If you want to lose weight, do you have to stay away from delicious food? Although weight loss requires calorie control, it is also necessary to take in enough nutrition. Choosing foods that are low in calories and full of nutrition can help you lose weight. Chinese medicine practitioners point out that Japanese cuisine, which is popular among Taiwanese, is actually a great weight loss diet!

Cooking is best done by steaming, boiling, roasting, frying, and stir-frying, which can easily increase the calories.

Steamed eggs, hand rolls, sashimi, miso soup... Many Japanese dishes are simple to prepare and light in taste. As long as you don’t choose fried foods such as fried chicken and fried pork chops, the calories are usually not high. When we control calories in order to lose weight, in addition to calculating the calories of the food itself, we must also pay attention to the cooking method and try to avoid frying or deep-frying.

Chinese medicine practitioner Tian Yimin said that the calories of protein and carbohydrates are both 4 kcal per gram, while the calories of fat are 9 kcal per gram. Therefore, any food that is cooked with additional cooking oil will have much higher calories than raw, steamed or boiled food.

Taking eggs, which we often eat, as an example, the calories of a boiled egg or a tea egg are about 70 to 80 calories. If you add a little oil to make a fried egg, the calories will immediately increase to 120 calories. If you pour more oil to make scrambled eggs, the calories per 100 grams will soar to 205 calories.

Although both are egg dishes, the common Japanese steamed egg custard has lower calories than fried eggs or scrambled eggs.

Raw seafood is low in calories, so if you are weak, you can have fish soup or grilled fish

Therefore, during weight loss, try to choose steamed, boiled, or grilled dishes to reduce fat intake. Dr. Tian Yimin pointed out that Japanese cuisine often uses seafood as its ingredients and its cooking method is also light, which is very suitable for people who are trying to lose weight.

As for meat, white meat such as chicken and fish, as well as seafood such as shellfish, oysters, shrimp and crabs have low fat content and are rich in high-quality protein. They are common foods in Japanese cuisine. Moreover, Japanese cuisine often eats raw seafood, such as sashimi, raw scallops, raw sweet shrimp, shrimp roe, fish roe, oysters, etc., which are uncooked and contain almost only the calories of the ingredients themselves.

Fish has a lower fat content than red meat, and sashimi is not cooked with oil, so it contains almost only the calories of the food itself.

However, Chinese medicine practitioner Tian Yimin reminds that people with weak constitution and poor gastrointestinal function are not suitable for eating raw food. They can instead eat boiled fish fillets or fish soup, which are also low in calories, and add a little shredded ginger to dispel the cold. In addition, grilled fish is also a good choice. Grilling has lower calories than frying or deep-frying. Grilled saury and mackerel are common in Japanese cuisine. Not only are they delicious, they are also rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, making them nutritious and healthy!

In terms of staple foods and vegetables, Japanese cuisine also has advantages...

Japanese cuisine's sushi, hand rolls, and rice balls are usually low in calories and often contain vegetables such as cabbage and asparagus, which are helpful for weight control.

In addition to meat, the staple foods of Japanese cuisine are relatively light, such as udon noodles, sushi, grilled rice balls, etc., which are not high in calories. In addition, Japanese cuisine often uses vegetables, such as asparagus and shredded cabbage in hand rolls, shiitake mushrooms in steamed eggs, kelp and white radish for soup, etc. These vegetables are not only low in calories, but also rich in vitamins and dietary fiber, which are indispensable nutrients for people who are losing weight.

In this way, you can really enjoy delicious food while losing weight! For your next meal, you might want to have some grilled rice balls, sashimi, and kelp miso soup, which is nutritious, delicious, and calorie-controlled.

The best way to eat oden is to choose natural low-calorie

In addition, oden is also a typical Japanese cuisine and a light meal that many people love to eat. However, Chinese medicine practitioner Tian Yimin reminds that some oden may contain more oil and artificial additives. It is recommended to choose tofu, white radish, vegetable rolls, oyster mushrooms, boiled eggs and other items that are more natural and low in calories so as not to consume too much burden.
