Name: Daphne, 40, lose 8 kg in a month.
For a long time, my friends suggested that I lose weight. I do not want to go to a weight loss center; that is nuisance. And I disagree with eating less to lose weight; I need a sustainable dieting plan. I only need a simple and practical food plan. One of my friends who is a doctor, suggested bean curd products. I followed it. One month later, I had lost 8 kg. Now, eating bean curd products has become a part of my life.
Principle of weight loss
Hippocrates once said: "Let food be your medicine.” What a wonderful sentence! Some 100 natural
foods can repair our body without any side effects. They just lay in the market near your house.
Beans and other legumes (best choice: red bean) contain the several best types of carbohydrate. For example, beans can provide the body with the most abundant soluble fiber, which is key to controlling blood sugar. They contain resistant starch 1 (RS1), which can not be absorbed by the small intestine but directly by the large intestine. In the large intestine, the resistant starch can rebuild the intestinal mucosa and produce short-chain fatty acids by fermentation to combat inflammation, cancer and the "bad" bacteria in the intestines, such as E. coli and Candida. By extending the digestion time to slow down the rate of glucose release, the resistant starch also help reduce insulin levels.
One study found that adding 5% resistant starch to your diet can promote fat burning after meal. Of which, 80% is from the abdomen and hip and 20% is from food. You'll love this! In addition, you will be more full after eating resistant starch in the beans so that reduces fat storage to further reduce cholesterol and triglycerides and the insulin sensitivity in the body.
How to choose bean curd product?
Remember: Dry beans are better than canned beans. Soak with water at room temperature for 6-8 hours or soak overnight. Drain them before cooking. If you like the taste, look for those with beans, salt and water. In addition, choose fruits, vegetables and whole grains, especially those rich in soluble fiber. For example, apples, barley, beans, psyllium, lentil and oat bran.
Review of weight-loss method: Bean curd products are tasty and can help you lose weight.
