It took 3 months to successfully lose 23 pounds of the scale before I discovered it Choosing the right food can get twice the result with half the effort. There are some vegetables with high carbohydrate content that, if consumed in excess, can easily cause blood sugar to fluctuate, but will instead accelerate the accumulation of fat.
During weight loss, avoid these kinds of fake vegetables to better control carbohydrate intake and increase the speed of weight loss.
1. Pumpkin
Many people think that pumpkin is a low-calorie vegetable, and 100 grams of pumpkin has 26-50 calories (depending on variety), It has a distinct sweetness and a soft and waxy texture, and is often cooked as a vegetable (such as steamed pumpkin, pumpkin porridge, and pumpkin cake).
However, pumpkin has about 15% to 20% carbohydrate , is a low GI value complex carbohydrate. If you eat pumpkin as a vegetable and rice, the carbohydrate intake after one meal will exceed the standard, which is not conducive to weight loss.
If you can replace refined staples like rice with pumpkin, you can control your blood sugar very well, and at the same time lower your caloric intake, you can control your weight better.
2. Potatoes
Common home-cooked dishes, stir-fried shredded potatoes, stewed potatoes, French fries and mashed potatoes, are eaten as vegetables. However, potatoes are a typical high-starch rhizomatous food, with a carbohydrate content of over 17%, slightly lower than rice.
100 grams of potatoes have 80 calories and a starch content close to that of rice. After eating potatoes and rice, losing weight will turn into gaining weight.
In practice, potatoes are a staple food and contain resistant starch, which is not easily digested by the body and can carry hunger longer than rice. During weight loss, if you eat potatoes (choose steamed potatoes or stir-fried shredded potatoes to avoid high-calorie methods), you should reduce the amount of staple foods such as rice/noodles, which can better control blood sugar and inhibit fat accumulation.
3. Lotus root
Lotus root is crisp and refreshing, often made into cold dishes, stewed in soup, and stir-fried. It is rich in dietary fiber It is able to increase the volume of feces, promote intestinal peristalsis, and speed up bowel movements, thus reducing the accumulation of toxins and waste products in the body.
However, the 100 grams of lotus root has about 70 calories Carbohydrate content about 12% ~ 16% , also belongs to the starchy vegetables. It can be eaten in moderation during weight loss, but it cannot be eaten as a vegetable and can be used instead of refined staple food.
Lotus root has a relatively strong feeling of satiety, and dietary fiber absorbs water and swells in the stomach, which can increase satiety and allow you to unconsciously reduce the intake of other high-calorie foods when eating. The method of making lotus root should avoid deep-frying (such as fried lotus root clips). Cold food and stewed soup are recommended healthy ways to eat.
4. Huaishan
Huaishan is a commonly used ingredient in our soup stew and cooking. It is rich in Starch, about 12% ~ 18% carbohydrate , cannot be eaten as a vegetable.
However, The starch of Huaishan is a high-quality carbohydrate , can provide continuous energy to the human body It is more suitable as part of the staple food to replace some rice and noodles, and it is also relatively good time to carry hunger.
People who lose weight, also have the option A bowl for dinner Huaishan vegetable soup Instead, it can not only supplement carbohydrates, but also dietary fiber and vitamins. It is also low in calories and is a refreshing and low-fat weight loss dish.
