Cabbage instead of noodles, low-sugar diet makes you lose weight

We can also use cabbage or bean sprouts instead of noodles. Please cut the cabbage into thin strips and pair it with various pasta sauces to enjoy its unique refreshing taste. If you are stir-frying in a frying pan, please use olive oil, which is mostly used in Mediterranean cuisine and is very helpful to health. Since the sugar content of cabbage is only 1.9 grams per 100 grams, you can enjoy it with peace of mind. Cabbage also contains vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, and has balanced nutrition.

In addition, bean sprouts are long and slender in shape and can be put directly into soup to replace noodles. The sugar content of bean sprouts is only 1.3 grams per 100 grams. An average intake of about 40 grams of bean sprouts per meal can significantly reduce the sugar content; and the sugar content of every 100 grams of soybean sprouts is zero.

On the other hand, even if you eat twice the amount of bean sprouts, you don’t have to worry about consuming too much sugar and you can still feel full. In terms of nutrition, bean sprouts contain protein, vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, and it is recommended that you consume more of them.

Konjac noodles are delicious and can regulate the intestines and prevent lifestyle diseases.

In addition, bean sprouts are also used as a staple food. When topped with braised pork, it becomes a delicious "braised pork bean sprout rice bowl". The crispy taste is also the charm of bean sprouts. In addition to cabbage and bean sprouts, konjac can also be used as noodles. The "konjac noodles" sold on the market are made by processing konjac into long thin strips, and then making them into garlic and chili pasta, which is also delicious; konjac has an intestinal regulating effect and also helps prevent lifestyle diseases.

Most bread sold on the market contains a lot of flour. It is recommended to eat low-sugar bread made from wheat bran instead.

Many people like to eat bread for breakfast, which is convenient and time-saving. Among them, "toast" is one of the most commonly chosen types of bread. Having said that, bread is generally made from refined flour and is the food that should be avoided most on a sugar-restricted diet. Bread lovers may be dissatisfied with this, but fortunately, there are delicious low-sugar breads made with "wheat bran" on the market.

"Wheat bran" is the wheat bran before it is refined. To use rice as an analogy, it is "rice bran". Wheat bran is rich in nutrients such as dietary fiber, iron, calcium, magnesium, etc., but these nutrients are removed when wheat is refined to become common white flour.

So why do we remove the nutritious bran? In fact, it is just because wheat bran tastes bad, tastes bitter and has a dry texture, so it is not suitable for making food. However, as the public pays more attention to sugar-restricted diets, the taste of more and more bran breads has begun to improve and the variety has increased.

◎Whole wheat bread contains whole wheat flour and is not recommended for regular consumption

The way to eat bran bread is the same as ordinary bread. It can be toasted or eaten directly, or it can be sandwiched with ham or cheese. But be careful not to apply jam or marmalade at this time. In addition to bran bread, there are also breads on the market that use soybeans as raw materials, such as pineapple bran bread and cinnamon bran bread, which are very suitable as snacks. In addition, it is made from whole wheat flour without removing the bran. Although it has a high sugar content and is not recommended for consumption, it is still better than bread made from white flour.

Eating too much fruit can make you fat, but avocados are low in sugar and can be eaten regularly

Although fruits contain sugar, the main component is fructose. Fructose does not increase blood sugar levels much and hardly stimulates insulin secretion. However, this does not mean that "fruit is very suitable for a sugar-restricted diet, so of course you can eat more!" Because fructose will immediately turn into neutral fat after entering the body, so eating too much fruit will easily make you fat. Having said that, most fruits contain a lot of water, and eating a small amount of fresh apples or strawberries after a meal will not affect your health. As long as you don't consume too much, it will not be harmful to your body.

However, there is one kind of fruit that has a very low sugar content, and that is avocado. Half an avocado (about 80 grams) contains only 0.7 grams of sugar. Compared with other fruits, 5 strawberries contain 5.3 grams of sugar, each peach contains 15.1 grams, and a banana contains as much as 21.4 grams of sugar. It can be seen that the sugar content of avocado is very low. Compared with other vegetables, onions contain 7.2 grams of sugar per 100 grams and tomatoes contain 5.6 grams of sugar per 150 grams. Therefore, avocado is undoubtedly a very healthy sugar-reducing ingredient.

◎Avocado has low sugar content and is suitable for making various dishes

Avocado is also a model food ingredient and can be used in a variety of dishes. In the sugar-restricted diet recipe book I once published, there is a very popular dish called "Lettuce Wraps with Avocado and Natto" (please refer to P○○ for the recipe). First, cut the avocado into 1 cm pieces, sprinkle with lemon juice and pour into a bowl. Then add natto and yuzu pepper sauce and stir. Finally, serve on the lettuce and sprinkle with diced tomatoes.

In addition, "Avocado Tuna with Shredded Ginger" is also very popular. First cut the avocado into thin strips, then add the kelp root, season with ginger and citrus vinegar, and then put the tuna on top. Although it is a bit similar to tuna with yam paste, you can enjoy a unique taste and flavor.
