Will drinking oil-cutting beverages to remove fat definitely help you lose weight? Nutritionists say...

Many people love to drink beverages, and some even drink them for the sake of "health"! Some people must drink oil-cutting tea after meals, hoping it can help them lose weight; some people worry that they don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables, so they specifically supplement with fruit juice; and some people drink energy drinks every day to improve their work efficiency! Nutritionists point out that many people have beverage myths and often drink the wrong beverages without realizing it. Let’s debunk them one by one below!

Can oil-cutting drinks remove oil?

Many people misunderstand the effect of oil-cutting tea, thinking that drinking it every day can help them burn fat and lose weight. Nutritionist Wang Zinan said that oil-cutting drinks usually reduce the amount of fat eaten and absorbed by the stomach and intestines, but cannot reduce existing body fat. Therefore, if you want to lose weight, you must control your food intake, otherwise it will only expand your stomach capacity. You cannot rely solely on cutting down on oil and beverages to lose weight! If you really want to drink tea after a meal, it is recommended to drink sugar-free tea.

Drink juice to supplement the amount of fruits and vegetables?

When many people see the brightly colored fruit and vegetable images on the packaging, they mistakenly believe that they can replace fresh fruits and vegetables. In fact, during the manufacturing process of fruit juice drinks, nutrients are often destroyed and fiber is removed. In order to enhance the taste, sugar, pigments, flavors, preservatives, etc. are often added. If you want to get the benefits of fruits and vegetables, you should eat fresh fruits and vegetables!

Are energy drinks really refreshing?

Many office workers work hard and rely on energy drinks to get through the day. Nutritionist Wang Zinan pointed out that this beverage can refresh the mind mainly because it contains caffeine. Not only does it not help eliminate fatigue, but if the caffeine content is not indicated on the packaging, people can easily consume too much caffeine.

Are vitamin drinks healthy?

There is a saying on the Internet that "the vitamins in food will be destroyed during the cooking process, so vitamin supplements are necessary." In fact, the Ministry of Health and Welfare has taken these losses into consideration when formulating the daily intake of nutrients. Healthy adults only need to have a balanced diet and do not need to deliberately drink vitamin drinks. Moreover, nutritionist Wang Zinan reminds us that excess vitamins will be excreted in the urine, so supplementing too much is actually not helpful!
