【Core Tip】: Is losing weight difficult? No! In fact, losing weight is not as difficult as everyone thinks. It may be that you are using the wrong method.

If you find it particularly difficult to lose weight, check whether you have fallen into the following weight loss misunderstandings:

Do I have to completely give up snacking to lose weight?

wrong! Choosing the right snacks and eating them at the right time can help you achieve diet control!

"How can people who can't control their mouths lose weight?" This "can't control their mouths" usually refers to snacks. Snacks are often thought of as junk food that adds calories. Especially in the eyes of the elders, snacks are just bad things that will turn a lot of fat, salt and sugar into calories and fill your body, which will affect your eating three meals a day.

In fact, some snacks are not only not bad, but can also help control weight. The correct way to eat snacks is to first choose the right food. Choose low-processed vegetables, fruits, and nuts instead of biscuits, candied fruits, and sweets. The second is to eat at the right time. Eating snacks before meals can prevent overeating at each meal and can also help stay energetic.

Are Negative Calorie Foods the Best Weight Loss Diet?

wrong! When eating negative calorie foods, you also need to consider the cooking method and nutritional balance!

In fact, any food can provide calories to the human body, that is to say, there is no such thing as negative calorie food. Where does the term "negative calorie food" come from? The calories in some foods are less than the calories the human body consumes when digesting and absorbing food, and those foods have the effect of speeding up metabolism and promoting fat burning. Therefore, they are called "negative calorie foods".

Foods that are defined as negative calories tend to be vegetables and fruits. For example: apples, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, green beans, etc. The most commonly mentioned negative calorie food is celery because celery has coarse fibers and is difficult to chew. The calories required to digest celery are higher than the calories in the celery itself, making it a negative calorie food.

In fact, the calories consumed when these so-called negative calorie foods are digested in the body are negligible compared to the calories carried by these foods themselves. For example: munching on celery may seem like a strenuous action, but it's about as useless for burning calories as striking a small match on a prairie.

In fact, most of the time, even if we choose the so-called negative-calorie foods, we still need to process these foods before eating. During the processing and cooking process, various seasonings add a lot of calories to our negative-calorie foods.

However, in order to achieve the goal of losing weight, even if you don’t consider the taste of the food, it is not a wise move to choose negative-calorie food without adding any seasoning. (To be continued...)
