Don't forget low GI foods when losing weight. Rehydrating your body with water will have a better effect.

Pay attention to the GI index when eating lunch

The key point when eating lunch is to be careful about foods with a high GI index. The key to losing weight is to avoid eating foods that will quickly increase the blood sugar index. Which foods will cause the glycemic index to rise rapidly? The GI index can be used as a benchmark for judgment. The so-called GI is the abbreviation of glycemic index, which is used to indicate the speed at which the blood sugar index rises after various foods are eaten.

If the GI index is high, blood sugar levels will rise faster, while if the GI index is low, blood sugar levels will rise less easily. Foods with a low GI index will prevent blood sugar levels from rising, thereby reducing insulin secretion. The same is true for the reason why weight loss can be effectively achieved. Therefore, the GI index is more important than calories. Insulin can convert sugar in our body into fat cells, making us fat. Based on this, we should eat foods with a low GI index.

If the GI index is not high, you can eat your favorite food at lunch. Of course, if the food contains too much fat or seasoning, there is nothing you can do. Some people who are trying to lose weight may ask: "In that case, is it okay to eat high-calorie foods?" My answer is that it is okay only during lunch time, but don't be too greedy and eat high-calorie foods all the time. Moreover, even if it is a high-calorie food, the GI index must be low.

The GI index can be easily found on the Internet, or you can print out the GI index table and carry it with you. The GI index of white rice is very high. Although it does not contain many calories, its GI index is higher than that of cake. Therefore, it is best to replace white rice with brown rice or whole grain rice with a lower GI index. If you are in a school or company cafeteria and have no choice but to eat only rice, please reduce the amount of rice by half and eat more vegetables. Please also check the GI index table for the foods you usually eat for lunch. If there are foods with a high GI index, replace them with foods with lower values.

The safe GI index range is below 60, but before I started the black bean diet, most of the foods I liked had a GI index of over 60. Among them, my favorite rice cake, although low in calories, has a GI index of 87. So when I found out about this, I quit eating it immediately.

People usually consume more carbohydrates at lunch, but no matter how full you are, you will feel hungry after 1 to 3 hours. This is because carbohydrates are digested very quickly and the stomach becomes empty immediately. Therefore, no matter how much we eat, we will still feel hungry when dinner time comes, so we will have the desire to overeat or have a midnight snack.

Basically, carbohydrates have a very high glucose value. A high glucose value means that the body's blood sugar concentration can rise rapidly, which means that the body can be supplied with the necessary sugar in a short period of time. If the body has enough sugar, it will naturally feel full. This is why it is easier to feel full if you eat at noon. Some people may ask, "Isn't it bad to feel full sooner?" However, the feeling of fullness is not felt by the body, but by the brain's cognition.

Although the reason is not clear at present, we do know that the brain will only feel full when the food it eats is supplying sugar. Therefore, even if the body is full of sugar, as long as there is no continuous supply of sugar, the brain will send a hunger message. The reason for eating less carbohydrates at noon is because the body cannot be supplied with sugar continuously. On the contrary, protein and fat can provide sugar to the brain continuously for 5 to 6 hours, which is twice as long as carbohydrates. If you consume protein-based foods for breakfast, you will have a long-term supply of sugar and will not feel hungry easily at lunch. Of course, your lunch intake will naturally decrease.

If you think the instructions so far are too complicated, just remember to simply "eat less carbohydrates for lunch and more foods mainly composed of protein and fat."

Please drink water regularly

The more often you drink water, the faster the black bean weight loss method will take effect. However, if you drink water immediately after a meal, it will easily interfere with digestion, so you should wait about 30 minutes before drinking water. If you are not used to drinking so much water, you may go to the toilet more often after drinking water, especially if you drink water frequently while taking the black bean diet.

If someone who originally liked to drink beverages suddenly changes to drinking water, he or she will find it difficult to adapt at first and will go back to drinking beverages. No matter what you do, the beginning is the most critical. Just bite your teeth and hold on for a week, because it takes some time for the tongue that is accustomed to the smell of drinks to regain its original taste sensitivity.

How much water should we drink? In fact, there is no need to set a specific amount of water to drink, because drinking a lot of water may cause psychological pressure, so as long as you feel that you are drinking more than usual, it will be fine. If you are not used to drinking tasteless water, drinking green tea, barley tea, black tea or mint tea instead is also a good choice. When you go to a cafe, don't order coffee but drink tea instead. It is also best to bring your own kettle or cup when you go out. Before trying the black bean diet, I hardly drank water. I mostly drank beverages instead of water. I especially like to buy zero-calorie diet cola to drink. Since it has zero calories, it doesn’t matter how much I drink.

Also, drinking water regularly can reduce our food intake. When hearing this, some people often think, "So we need to use water to fill our stomachs." However, the most fundamental reason is that water is closely related to the amount of food we eat in a day. If you carefully observe the meal records written by people who are losing weight, you will find that they will eat less on the day they drink less water than on the day they drink more water. If you can drink a certain amount of water every day, your food intake will also be reduced by the same amount.

Many people will carefully write down the food they eat in their weight loss diary, but not many people will write down how much water they drink. Please write down how much water you drink as well! This way, you can see that there will be a big difference in the amount of food you eat on a day when you drink a lot of water and when you don't drink much water.

Why is there such a difference? This is because when there is insufficient water, the body will feel a sense of crisis, so in this emergency state, the body will want to take in the necessary water through food.
