In order to lose weight, many people will choose not to eat staple foods in order to achieve the purpose of rapid weight loss. Although not eating staple foods will lose the scale quickly, in this process, the body loses most of the water and muscle, not fat.
If we want to lose weight healthily, we should control the intake of staple foods, rather than blindly rejecting staple foods. Rice and pasta are common staple foods in daily life, but who is more likely to make you gain weight? Let's break it down:
55 grams of cooked rice has about 0 kcal and a glycemic index of about 0, while 0 grams of cooked noodles have about 0 kcal and a glycemic index of 0, and there is not much difference in calories between the two. If you eat the same amount of rice or noodles in one meal, then the calorie intake is about the same.
You have to know that the main cause of obesity is excess calories, not because of eating rice or noodles. To lose weight, you need to focus on the total calorie intake of the day, not the obesity caused by eating rice or noodles.
The body follows a conservation and quantification of energy, and when your caloric intake is below the total body consumption value, you will slowly lose weight. If the calorie intake is greater than the body's total metabolic value, fat will accumulate.
If you eat too many processed snacks, fried chicken, cakes or other braised and sweet and sour wontons, it is easy to lead to excessive calorie intake, which can lead to fat accumulation.
Therefore, during weight loss, we should record our daily calorie intake, which is less than 600-0 kcal of total metabolic value, which can create a calorie gap for the body and promote weight loss.
While controlling our calorie intake, we should also achieve a healthy and balanced diet, replenish the carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins and other substances needed by the body, and reduce high-calorie, high-oil, salt-high, and over-processed foods in order to lose weight more healthily.
For people who are losing weight, the choice of staple food is very important, you can reduce the intake of refined staple foods such as rice and noodles, and it is more recommended to choose whole grains (such as brown rice, oats, whole wheat noodles), and pair them with healthy ingredients such as vegetables and lean meats, while controlling the total calorie intake, in order to better control your weight.
Whole grains are rich in dietary fiber and vitamins, slow glycemic rise, long-lasting satiety time, can better prolong satiety time, and promote intestinal peristalsis, helping to inhibit fat accumulation. The study found that people who adhered to a whole-grain staple food experienced a decrease in inflammation levels and weight control in 6 weeks.
Therefore, people who are losing weight may wish to change the staple food, although the whole grain taste is a little rougher, but it can better control the appetite and improve the weight loss effect.
