Raw chocolate tower = walk for 2 hours to pay off your debt! Nutritionists teach you how to eat afternoon tea without gaining weight

Every weekend, I always have afternoon tea with my sisters. Especially the fragrant and solid matcha mille-feuille cake, or the sweet and sour lemon tart, are the best accompaniments for a wonderful afternoon of gossip. However, beneath these sweet and soothing appearances, they actually contain unknown high calories. Let nutritionist Cai Yixuan teach you how to eat them so that you can enjoy desserts and lose weight at the same time!

Tips1/Avoid landmines: less sugar, less oil, less burden

When choosing afternoon tea, you can avoid super high-calorie desserts. For example, a serving of honey toast, which uses half a loaf of white toast and adds a lot of fresh cream and ice cream, has 1,400 calories, which is close to a girl's daily calorie intake. If you don't walk quickly for 5 hours after eating, the calories will probably be stored in your lower abdomen.

It is recommended to choose sponge cakes that require almost no oil, or chiffon cakes and honey cakes that are also low in oil and calories. In addition, you can greatly reduce calories by taking a small amount of fresh cream and syrup on the cake and not eating it all.

The following table lists the afternoon tea desserts we often eat. Let’s take a look at how many calories they contain and how long you need to brisk walk to burn off one serving!

Tips 2/ Sharing: Savor the food carefully and share with your best friends

A dessert is so filling, but you may worry that you’ll end up consuming too much calories and it will be a waste if you can’t finish it. So why not order one and share it with your friends, which will spread out the calories and make things more enjoyable. In addition, just like you should chew your food slowly, you should also savor desserts carefully so that your brain can slowly enjoy the pleasure that desserts bring, making it easier to feel satisfied!

Tips3/Eat during the day: It is easiest to store calories at night

Many people are accustomed to having a dessert after dinner as a perfect ending to the day. However, usually at night, people are less active and their metabolic rate drops, so the excess calories they eat are more likely to be stored as fat. Therefore, it is recommended to eat dessert during the day or in the afternoon so that you have time to exercise more and burn them off.

Weight loss and good eating habits require long-term cultivation, so it is normal to indulge yourself occasionally. As long as you learn how to choose and eat, you can enjoy desserts without worrying about getting fat!
