If you are a food eater and want to lose weight, Dr. Clove deeply understands the struggling psychology:
Eat or not, is a question.
Is it true that there are many [negative calorie foods] on the Internet that can make people thin while eating?
Dr. Clove will come to talk about this topic with you.
What is [negative calorie food]?
Calories are a unit of calories that anyone who cares about weight should have heard of.
The amount of heat required for a gram of water to rise 1 degree Celsius at 1 atmosphere pressure is 1 calorie, and 1,000 calories is 1 calorie.
In the whole process of eating, digesting and absorbing, the body actually needs to consume heat, which is called “food heat effect”.
If the calories of the food itself are less than the calories consumed by digestion and absorption, the so-called “negative calorie food” will appear.
Do negative calorie foods really exist?
The theory is very beautiful…
However, in fact, the thermal effect of food is generally not more than 30% of the food’s own calories, so 70% of the calories will still be absorbed, and it is impossible to have negative effects on how to eat.
If you have to find a [negative calorie food], it is cold and white, with zero calories in itself, and you have to consume some calories to turn it into body temperature, which is really negative.
However, this consumption is too small. If a litre of water rises by 20 degrees Celsius, it only takes 20,000 calories, that is, 20 calories, and half an apple will come back.
If you have calories, you can also lose weight.
Although celery, apples, oats, almonds… are not [negative calorie foods], it is indeed reasonable that they are respected. Dr. Clove will help you analyze what is good about these foods.
1. Celery and Apple in Fruit and Vegetable Group
Not only celery and apples, but most vegetables and fruits are very good.
Their calories are limited and they are considered to be [low calorie] foods. However, they have more dietary fiber and good satiety. If they use vegetables and fruits to occupy their appetite, they can eat less other high-calorie foods.
2. Oats in coarse grain group
Although oats are not lower in calories than rice, they digest and absorb slowly and feel particularly full, so they will not be hungry if they eat less.
What is rare is that, as a staple food, it also contains a variety of vitamins and minerals, which is simply a refined white staple food such as rice and steamed bread rolled in all directions.
3. Almond of nut group
Almond, as a nut, has 540 calories per 100g, which has nothing to do with [negative calories].
However, its energy is [slow release], very full; And it is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which is very good as a snack. It is also good to replace high-energy salad dressing with almond crumbs.
It should be noted that almond nuts should not exceed a handful every day, and remember to use less cooking oil to balance oil intake.
4. Finally, let’s talk about water
Although you cannot consume calories by drinking water, don’t underestimate its function.
No matter whether it is cold and white or light tea, as long as it is sugar-free water, drink some within half an hour before meals, which can take up part of your appetite and make you eat less.
It is also [filling with water].
What is the diet food?
It is not difficult to find that the above [weight loss] foods have several characteristics:
- Low calories; To fill one’s stomach; Low calories and full stomachs.
However, even if the calories are low and the stomach is full, it is not a perfect [diet food].
Because, how to change weight, the key lies in the overall diet and exercise every day, not a kind of food can determine.
What should I do?
Dr. Clove suggests that you give up superstitious belief in a certain kind of [weight loss food] and try [weight loss eating method]:
- Eat more vegetables; Replacing refined rice and flour with coarse grains; Replace dessert with fruit; Try to eat lean meat and less fat meat. It is better to have less oil and salt. A big meal or dessert, once in a while, don’t worry.
There is also the most critical one: control quantity.
