[4 key points of Vivian Hsu's bird-style weight loss method]

1. Diet: Eat more oats, deep-sea fish, green vegetables and fruits. When choosing fruits, try to choose fruits with lower sweetness.

2. Exercise: to increase the chance of sweating, promote detoxification, and eliminate lactic acid accumulation.

3. Time: Do not eat starchy foods after noon; do not eat after 8 pm.

4. Meditation: Willpower is very important. Through meditation, imagine yourself as a little bird with a small stomach. You will be full after eating just a little bit. You will be happy, unrestrained, free and light flying in the sky.

Vivian also reminded that in addition to paying attention to diet, moderate exercise is also necessary to achieve the effect of weight loss, whether it is running, swimming, or sit-ups. The key is to persevere in order to be effective. If you choose sit-ups, the number is not the key point. Instead, you should pay attention to whether the posture is standard and make sure that the abdomen is really exerting force, so that the effect will be best.

Breakfast: 1 bowl of instant pure oatmeal, sprinkled with some raisins, fresh fruits, and juice.

Lunch: Lettuce salad (try to avoid choosing sauces containing mayonnaise), 1 small piece of boiled chicken. If you really want to eat starchy foods, you can only eat them at this time.

Dinner: two large bowls of green vegetables and a bowl of cabbage, tomato and meat soup.

Experts: Losing 5 kg in 10 days is unhealthy

Professor Jiang Mengcan of the Department of Food Science at National Taiwan Ocean University believes that the weight loss concepts mentioned by Vivian are correct in theory. Dietary regulation combined with exercise can indeed achieve the effect of weight loss. But it is impossible to lose 5 kg in 10 days. If this is really achieved, it is an unhealthy way to lose weight.

Huang Ziling, a nutritionist at Zhongshan Hospital, also mentioned that generally speaking, the correct way to lose weight is to lose 1 kg in 2 weeks, which is the healthiest speed of weight loss. For example, Vivian lost 5 kilograms in 10 days, but most of what she lost was water or muscle. Although she lost weight, her metabolism also decreased, which made it easier for her to gain weight again.

Experts on choosing low-sweet fruits: can lower glycemic index

Nutritionist Huang Ziling said that we should choose fruits with lower sweetness because they have a relatively lower glycemic index. Therefore, it is not easy to cause blood sugar to rise too quickly after eating. And for people who want to lose weight, it is important to keep blood sugar levels stable, which helps with weight loss. The so-called low GI balanced metabolism weight loss method also emphasizes controlling the rise in blood sugar through diet, keeping blood sugar as stable as possible, and thus achieving the effect of weight loss.

Experts: Oats have high nutritional value and increase satiety

In addition, regarding eating more oatmeal, nutritionist Huang Ziling said that the calories in a bowl of oatmeal are actually similar to those in a bowl of rice, both around 250 to 300 calories, but oatmeal is rich in dietary fiber, which helps with bowel movements, increases metabolism, and makes you feel fuller after eating it.

Professor Jiang Mengcan also said that oats contain β-Glucan, and the intake of β-Glucan can increase the concentration of Peptide YY in the blood and CCK in the small intestine. It is speculated that β-Glucan can increase the secretion of CCK and Peptide YY in the small intestine, affect the appetite center, and then reduce appetite, achieving the effect of regulating body weight. Choosing more oats in your daily diet can indeed increase the weight loss effect by 5% to 10%.

Meditation to suppress appetite: Experts: limited effect

Regarding Vivian's mention of meditation, Professor Jiang Mengcan said that theoretically, it is feasible to suppress appetite through meditation. Meditation can affect the feeding center of the hypothalamus in the brain, thereby reducing appetite and reducing food intake. However, it is unknown how much influence it actually has.

[Nutritionist's Tips]:

Nutritionists remind people that they should lose weight in a gradual manner and not consume only a single food for a long time. They should have a balanced diet, eat three meals at regular times and in regular amounts, maintain a normal lifestyle as much as possible, and not eat three hours before going to bed. This will help develop a lean physique and make weight loss easier. In addition to diet regulation, moderate exercise can increase the body's metabolic rate and help achieve weight loss results.
