Did you know? Eating apples with the skin can help you lose weight. So, if you want to lose weight, from now on, don’t throw apple peels around! In addition, regarding the "3-day apple meal weight loss method" that has been popular in Japan for many years, nutritionist Zhao Hanying reminds that you should eat no more than 3 apples a day, and drink plenty of water, about 40 times your body weight (cc) of water. For example, a person weighing 50 kilograms should drink about 2000cc of water. Otherwise, not only will you fail to achieve the effect of weight loss, but you may also gain weight due to excessive sugar intake.

Apple peels are rich in ursolic acid, which can increase the amount of brown fat

According to a study conducted by a research team at the University of Iowa, the ursolic acid found in apple peel can increase muscle and brown fat, and brown fat can prompt the body to burn white fat, achieving a weight loss effect.

Brown fat suppresses appetite and helps burn white fat

What is the relationship between brown and white fat and weight loss? Nutritionist Zhao Hanying said that the fat in the human body can be divided into white fat and brown fat. White fat is fat that exists deep in the human body. Its main function is to store energy backup. When the body absorbs insufficient calories to supply body operations, it will break down white fat to form heat energy to maintain body activities. However, once the accumulation of white fat exceeds the load, it will lead to obesity.

Brown fat secretes leptin, promotes metabolism, suppresses appetite, and helps burn white fat. But the amount of brown fat in the human body gradually decreases with age. Therefore, by consuming foods containing ursolic acid, the amount of brown fat can be effectively increased, thereby achieving a weight loss effect.

Ursolic acid in apples is a triterpenoid found in plants. It not only increases brown fat and helps with weight loss, but also has the effects of activating the liver, enhancing immunity, anti-aging, and anti-oxidation.

Ursolic acid is not only found in apple peels, but also in berries.

Nutritionist Zhao Hanying also mentioned that ursolic acid is a triterpenoid found in plants. It not only increases brown fat and helps with weight loss, but also has the effects of activating the liver, enhancing immunity, anti-aging, and anti-oxidation. In addition to being found in apple peels, ursolic acid can also be found in berries such as blueberries, strawberries, cranberries, and cranberries, as well as other fruits and vegetables such as basil leaves.

3-day apple weight loss, replenishing water is the key

The 3-day apple weight loss method, which has been popular in Japan for a long time, refers to a way of losing weight by eating an apple for each of the three meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner, along with vegetables and an appropriate amount of protein. Nutritionist Zhao Hanying said that generally, anyone can lose weight by eating apples. The important thing to note is that you should not eat more than 3 apples a day and drink plenty of water to avoid constipation and other problems.

During the weight loss period, you must drink plenty of water. The number of cc of water should be 40 times your body weight, because drinking plenty of water helps dietary fiber to move in the intestines and excrete toxins and waste from the body. A 50kg person needs to drink 2000cc of water a day. In addition, each person's daily fiber intake is about the size of 9 fists, with more vegetables than fruits, which helps with bowel movements. In addition to controlling your diet, you should also do regular exercise to achieve the effect of weight loss.

In addition, when using the 3-day apple meal weight loss method, you should also pay more attention to the time of eating apples. Try to eat fruits before meals or between meals to effectively achieve weight loss results. Otherwise, if you eat them after meals, it is easy to cause fructose to accumulate in the body and lead to obesity.

However, because apples are high in sugar, they are not suitable for people with diabetes or who are taking insulin for a long time. If you still want to use this method, it is best to seek guidance from a nutritionist and consume them in moderation to avoid worsening your condition.
