People who pay attention to weight management may be curious about the 10 tips above that mention eating a bowl of whole grain porridge for dinner. Aren’t you worried about feeling burdened when eating porridge for dinner?

Whole grains have a low calorie density and a relatively large volume relative to their calorie content, making them more filling and helpful for obese people with big appetites.

Whole grains have 4 major benefits

If I choose to eat whole grain porridge, do I not have to worry about the burden? Liu Boen, a famous weight loss doctor, said that whole grains have the following four benefits:

1. Rich in vitamins, minerals and trace elements

Whole grains are rich in vitamins, minerals and trace elements. These ingredients help increase the metabolic rate and have a positive effect on the consumption and decomposition of fat.

2. Low caloric density

Whole grains have a low calorie density and a relatively large volume relative to their calorie content, making them more filling and helpful for obese people with big appetites.

3. Rich in dietary fiber

Dietary fiber can aid in excretion and environmental protection in the body, and also help reduce the absorption of fat and sugar.

4. No gluten ingredients, reducing allergies

Whole grains do not contain gluten (Gluten-Free), not only are they less likely to cause allergies, they can also reduce inflammation. Many causes of obesity are closely related to "inflammation".

Dr. Liu Boen said that it is important to remind you that one 350-gram portion of porridge has approximately 200 calories. Remember not to add other seasoning ingredients, as this may cause the calories to continue to increase. In addition, drinking too much porridge for dinner can easily cause an increase in the glycemic index (GI value), which will indirectly affect the action of insulin and is not conducive to blood sugar control. Fluctuations in blood sugar can also affect weight management.

Generally speaking, foods with high fat content take a longer time to digest and break down. If eaten at dinner time, they are more likely to accumulate as fat. Therefore, if you change it to eating at noon, you will have more time to digest and decompose.

Is it better to eat fried food for lunch?

In addition, eating highly fried foods is necessary for losing weight, and Shu Qi also said that she refuses all fried and greasy foods. However, Shu Qi mentioned that she will still eat them when she really wants to, or when friends treat her to them. And when you really want to eat hamburgers or fried chicken, just eat them for lunch.

Why is fried food better for lunch? Dr. Liu Boen said that generally high-fat foods take a longer time to digest and break down. If eaten at dinner time, they are more likely to accumulate as fat. Therefore, if you change it to eating at noon, you will have more time to digest and decompose.

The secret to successful weight loss is: eat less and exercise more. The general cause of obesity is related to excessive calorie accumulation. Of course, it would be ideal if all the excess calories consumed were broken down by exercise, but for effective exercise, it is still necessary to adopt medium to high-level muscle strength training exercises with higher oxygen consumption, such as sprinting, swimming, skipping rope, and other more professional exercise prescriptions, and they must last at least half an hour to be effective.

Shu Qi shared her 10 secrets for maintaining a good figure. In principle, they are all good, but the weight loss model must be integrated into daily life to be sustainable and successful. Moreover, because obesity is also a disease, if you want to lose weight, you must find out the pathological cause of obesity and then give a tailor-made formula. Therefore, it is not the case that applying a weight loss model suitable for others to yourself will definitely succeed.
