Shu Qi: 7-day detox diet

Shu Qi recorded on her Weibo that she only ate fresh organic vegetables for 7 days, with at least 3 kinds of vegetables of different colors, to ensure that her body could get enough nutrition, and she ate them raw without cooking.

In addition, drink at least 8 glasses of water every day and 1 glass of wheatgrass juice in the morning and evening. If you can't stand the feeling of hunger, eat some cucumbers, tomatoes and celery, and eat some fruits such as apples and cantaloupe every 3 hours to create a greater sense of fullness.

★ Nutritionist's advice

Chen Bofang, a nutritionist at the Taipei City United Medical College Zhongxiao Branch, said that green vegetables are low in calories and can be eaten as a snack to fill the stomach, but they are still not suitable to be eaten as a full meal, and not everyone can accept it. In addition, if you choose to eat raw food, there may still be concerns about pesticide residues.

In addition, it is very easy to get hungry when eating in this way, which is difficult to maintain and may cause weight gain in a short time. It is recommended to control portion size, consume small amounts, and base your diet on a balanced diet in order to lose weight healthily.

Carina Lau: Sweet potato diet

Sweet potatoes contain a large amount of dietary fiber. Because dietary fiber cannot be digested and absorbed in the intestines, it can stimulate the intestines, enhance peristalsis, regulate the stomach and intestines, detoxify and prevent constipation. According to Carina Lau, she lost weight from 59 kg to 45 kg by eating sweet potatoes. And in order to ensure the effectiveness of weight loss, start eating a small bowl of rice, 2 small sweet potatoes, and two kinds of vegetables from 5:30 in the morning. The key is not to eat any meat. Do this for 4 days every month for half a year and your weight will be easily lost.

★ Nutritionist's advice

Nutritionist Chen Baifang said that sweet potatoes = yams, both are starchy and rich in fiber to increase satiety, increase intestinal motility and prevent constipation. Many people often have the problem of stool retention, but they don’t realize that being overweight is partly due to excessive fecal accumulation. Developing normal bowel movements is also one way to maintain weight.

However, sweet potatoes are starchy and must be replaced with starches such as rice and noodles. In addition, the diet still needs to be balanced and must be combined with protein, such as beans, fish, meat, and eggs. This is the healthy way to lose weight. Just pay attention to the portion size.
