The key to weight loss: blood sugar, enzymes, and dietary fiber are all essential!

Most weight loss failures are closely related to diet, especially not eating or eating indiscriminately! Japanese culinary researcher Eiko Yanagisawa has a personal experience with obesity, as she once experienced obesity and her weight soared to 73 kilograms at the age of 50. Therefore, we designed balanced and nutritious "slimming dishes" for those who eat out during work and those over 50 whose metabolism slows down. We also paid attention to blood sugar levels, enzymes and dietary fiber supplements, and shared with everyone the wonderful experience of losing weight healthily.

Middle-aged people over 40 and 50 have a decreased metabolism and it is difficult to lose weight

When Eiko Yanagisawa was 52 years old, she created her own slimming diet and lost 26 kg in one year. Her weight dropped to 47 kg and she has never gained weight again since then. Therefore, it is recommended to busy office workers who always eat out for three meals a day, middle-aged people over 40 or 50 years old, and those who want to lose weight but cannot. If you want to solve the problem of obesity, you must start with "diet", especially the key to weight loss lies in blood sugar levels, enzymes and dietary fiber.

When losing weight, you should pay attention to blood sugar levels, enzymes and dietary fiber supplementation

Why is it important to pay attention to blood sugar levels, enzymes and dietary fiber when losing weight? Blood sugar is the glucose produced after the digestion and decomposition of food (especially starch), which is transported to all parts of the body through the blood. A normal person's blood sugar concentration will rise after a meal, but will not exceed 180 mg per 100 ml, and blood sugar will return to normal two hours after a meal. However, if you consume the wrong foods or have diabetes, your blood sugar levels may fluctuate and even increase your body fat. Therefore, to suppress the rise of blood sugar, we must first control the intake of sugars.

In addition, enzyme is a substance composed of amino acids with special biological activity. It exists in all living animals and plants and is an essential substance for maintaining normal body functions, digesting food, repairing tissues and other life activities. Enzymes are also essential in the metabolic process, and it is recommended to consume more of them.

In her book "Essential Dishes for Weight Loss", Eiko Yanagisawa stated that dietary fiber also plays an important role in the weight loss process. The water-soluble dietary fiber can not only eliminate constipation, but also slow down the digestion and absorption rate in the body, thereby restoring cholesterol levels to normal. Actively consuming these nutrients can help you lose weight. Representative foods include oats, barley, nuts, root vegetables, and agar, which are rich in plant gum. As well as apples and citrus fruits, papaya, pears, bananas, carrots, cabbage, pumpkin, potatoes, etc.

5 rules of diet for weight loss

In addition, if you want to lose weight successfully, you should follow the following 5 dietary laws:

1 Don’t have a bowl of noodles or rice for a meal: Try to avoid curry rice, ramen and other meals that are mainly rice or noodles.

2. Don’t eat potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and corn: Don’t eat these 4 foods with high sugar content, but you can eat more other vegetables as much as possible.

3 Eat the lettuce first, start with the lettuce that is rich in enzymes: chew the lettuce slowly and you will easily feel full.

4 Eat meat and fish well, don’t worry about calories: Only by consuming protein well can you lose weight healthily.

5. Don’t eat sweet foods: Not only don’t eat desserts, but also try to avoid adding sugar for seasoning in dishes.

【Standard dishes during weight loss period】

★Steamed chicken with soy milk and kimchi

You can not only eat chicken, but also pork and beef. Eat it with plenty of lettuce to increase your enzyme intake. You can also eat pickled cherry tomatoes. If you want to eat a meal, it is recommended to choose whole grain rice with the portion controlled at about 100 grams and eat it at the end of the meal. Finally, you can pair it with Italian shredded zucchini.

Reminder: if you want to lose weight successfully without gaining weight back, you should follow the principle of diet accounting for 70% and exercise accounting for 30%. Although diet control can make you lose weight, if you can add your favorite exercise, you can get twice the result with half the effort.
