Drinking the right soup before meals can help you lose weight! 2 Medicinal diet to nourish the skin and reduce fat

There are many benefits for women to drink soup before meals! Chinese medicine practitioners say that this is because drinking soup before a meal can not only help increase satiety and reduce subsequent food intake; if appropriate ingredients are added to the soup and drinking it in moderation, it can also help maintain beauty, reduce edema, and assist in weight loss!

Can increase satiety! Drinking soup before meals helps reduce calorie intake

Do you drink soup before or after meals? According to a 2014 online survey conducted by Bost, 55.5% of Chinese people are still accustomed to drinking soup after meals, which is even higher than the total of 19.1% who drink soup before meals, 22.2% who drink soup while eating, and 3.2% who never drink soup. This shows that Chinese people still generally like to drink soup after meals.

However, Dr. Wu Zhuyu, a master of acupuncture from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, suggested in his book "Good Complexion Every Day: Keep You Beautiful Longer, Age Slowly and Lose Weight Faster" that female friends who want to lose weight and maintain their figure might as well try to adjust the traditional order of meals: drink soup and eat vegetables first, and save rice and meat for last. This will help increase feelings of fullness, reduce appetite, and prevent you from accidentally consuming too many calories during meals.
