Will wearing braces make you thinner? Famous weight loss doctor: If you eat the wrong food, you will still be fat!

"Wearing braces will make you lose weight!" This is a statement that you often see on the Internet, but it is not entirely true. Weight loss specialists point out that some people who wear braces for orthodontic treatment not only do not lose weight, but actually gain weight. The difference all lies in what they eat!

Dr. Liu Boen, chairman of the Taiwan Obesity Prevention and Treatment Association and a weight loss specialist, said that if teeth are not aligned properly, orthodontic treatment is necessary. However, the purpose is to correct the uneven teeth, not to lose weight. If you insist on using orthodontic treatment to lose weight, then that is putting the cart before the horse.

The clinic once admitted a 21-year-old Miss Wang. Her teeth were not so bad that she had to have braces, but she heard that wearing braces could help her lose weight, so she went to the dentist to help her get braces. As a result, she ate muffins with fruit tea every day, and the muffins were also served with fresh cream or maple syrup. As a result, she gained 3 kilograms in less than a month.

Wearing braces has nothing to do with weight loss. You should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.

Wearing braces has no direct relationship with weight loss. It is recommended that patients who wear braces to correct their teeth should consume more fresh vegetables, fruits and other high-fiber foods, although their diet may be a little inconvenient. If they mainly eat high-calorie foods, it may not have any effect on weight loss. Especially after wearing braces, eating is inconvenient and food is not fully chewed, which can easily reduce the secretion of gastrointestinal digestive enzymes. In addition, high-calorie foods can easily cause blood sugar to rise rapidly, increasing the risk of obesity.

Autumn is a good time to lose weight, and the healthiest way to lose weight is to control your diet.

Autumn is a good time to lose weight. Eat healthy and don't eat fat.

Dr. Liu Bowen emphasized that autumn is a good time to lose weight, and the healthiest way to lose weight is to control your diet and combine it with exercise. The diet should be light, avoid heavy flavors and barbecue, and weigh yourself at a fixed time every day to monitor changes in your weight at any time and remind yourself to maintain a healthy weight.

It is recommended to eat more natural ingredients such as various vegetables, fruits, unrefined whole grains and roots; drink more boiled water, avoid sugary drinks, limit the intake of high-energy density foods (especially high-sugar, low-fiber, high-fat processed foods); avoid the intake of processed meat products, and reduce the consumption of high-salt and salted foods, and develop a healthy eating pattern of a balanced diet.

Tips for losing weight: Eat smart and don’t forget to drink soup first

1. Drink soup first: Because drinking soup first can increase the volume of food in the stomach, you will eat less. Remember to choose clear soup instead of thick soup, because thick soup usually contains a lot of flour and oil and has higher calories than clear soup.

2. Eat vegetables: Foods with dietary fiber are usually low in calories, so start with vegetables and mushrooms. These foods must be the largest in a meal to fill your stomach, so that you will eat less high-calorie foods later.

3. Eat meat and starch last: Usually at this stage, you are already half full, so you can eat some protein. In addition, the sugar produced by starch is one of the necessary energy sources for the human body, so you can eat some carbohydrates for a balanced diet. The calories from the food you eat at this time are less easily absorbed, but it can delay the rise in blood sugar and avoid getting hungry quickly after a meal.
