The eating habits of eating meat and fish are inherited from parents, but the habit of eating vegetables and desserts is more cultivated. Half a century ago, smoking was recognized as a part of social life, and most doctors (western medicine) smoked. Later, the truth about the harmful effects of tobacco on health gradually became known to the world, and science proved the truth: Smoking harms almost every organ in our body, causing victims to suffer from all kinds of diseases; Smokers die 15 to 20 years earlier on average than non-smokers; Smoking not only harms It can also harm others - second-hand smoke affects others, and the children of smokers also inherit various poisons and diseases. Today, eating meat is recognized as part of social life, and most doctors (western medicine) eat meat. In the past one or two decades, the truth about the harmful effects of meat eating has been gradually revealed and spread to societies all over the world. Scientific proof has proved that: meat eating harms almost every organ in our body, causing victims to suffer from various diseases; on average, meat eaters die 15~ earlier than vegetarians. 20 years; Eating meat not only harms yourself but also harms others - if parents eat meat, their children will also inherit various poisons and diseases. After decades of continuous efforts by dedicated people and groups, the global disaster of smoking has been recognized by communities everywhere. Humanity and the earth have awakened from the nightmare of ignorance, values ??and living habits have changed, and the toxic smog in the world has been gradually controlled. We can look forward to the near future when the world becomes a smoke-free society. The restoration of meat-eating civilization to the normal track of nature probably went through the same long process. First of all, there are people who have not lost their "conscience" and understand that this habit is not in line with the physiological structure of the human body and is harmful to nature. Then scientific investigation and research confirmed the truth, and through the continuous efforts of dedicated people and groups to promote and fight for conditions, finally one day the whole situation of cruelty to animals and human body was reversed, and society recognized that vegetarianism is the normal way. It is difficult to quit smoking, and it is probably even harder to quit eating meat. Therefore, there must be a long cognitive behavioral gap from awakening to changing personal habits to transformation of social and cultural climate. This phenomenon is clearly confirmed by the "Report on the Vegetarian Habits of Hong Kong People in 2000" just completed by the Hong Kong Vegetarian Society: In the past four or five years, local society has gradually accepted vegetarianism as a healthy and normal thing, and the public generally "knows" that eating more vegetarians is a good thing. But the vast majority (more than 98%) are still not vegetarians. Most of them say that seafood is delicious and cannot give up the so-called South Beach Diet (referred to as the South Beach Diet) which was very popular in the United States in 2008. It is really a trick. weight loss method. This method is simple and easy to implement, the effect is immediate, and you don’t need to go hungry and you can eat meat, so it is very popular. What's even better is that generally, you can lose 4-7 kilograms in the first one to two weeks, which gives people a lot of confidence out of thin air. Clinton is also one of the beneficiaries of this law. After I tried it for two weeks, the effect was really obvious. The waistband of my original trousers immediately became several inches larger, and the belt buckle was still too long even to the innermost part. There seems to be no Chinese translation available online. Because my original book has been given away, I can only record what I remember here. Let’s first talk about the principles of Southern France. The theoretical basis of Southern France is that people today will gain weight if they eat too much starch. Why? We learned in middle school chemistry that starch is a polysaccharide. This thing is very easy to digest. Eating a large bowl of polished rice is as easy as eating a bowl of rice. Sugar makes no difference. After eating a few bowls of rice, the blood sugar concentration in the blood rises rapidly. In order to maintain a stable blood sugar concentration, our body will secrete a large amount of insulin in a short period of time and transport the blood sugar to the liver for storage. If you eat too much starch, more insulin will be secreted, speeding up the delivery of insulin to the liver, resulting in a sharp drop in blood sugar concentration. After the blood sugar concentration drops, there will be more idle insulin in the blood, which will send a signal to the brain and produce a feeling of hunger. At this time, the normal response is to eat more. This is a positive feedback process. If we follow our feelings, we will eat more calories than we need. Sometimes, I feel hungry immediately as soon as I put down my chopsticks. I wonder if anyone has this experience. Then this person said, we Chinese have been eating rice for thousands of years, how come we have only gained weight in the past two years? The reason is that the flour and rice produced by the modern food processing industry have completely and cleanly removed the original fiber content, leaving only starch. This is the so-called polished rice noodles. When people in ancient times ate, the food had to be chewed for a long time and even wriggled in the stomach for a long time to separate the starch from the fiber and then decompose it. The whole process is a process of slow release of nutrients in the human body. The blood sugar concentration does not rise sharply, but remains at a stable level for a long time. This will not cause a sudden large amount of insulin to be secreted, and naturally there will be no such phenomenon of eating too much and feeling hungry instead. So in fact, modern food processing machines complete part of the digestion work for us while finely processing food. Now, human evolution has not adapted to this shift. Originally I only wanted to eat a bowl of rice, but I still felt hungry after eating, so I ate several more bowls. Over time, people gain weight. There are similar reasons why dieting is difficult to work. Simply reducing food intake will lower blood sugar levels and send a hunger signal to the brain. The next time you eat, you will have an instinct to overcompensate. This instinct was developed in the process of evolution. Primitive people hunted for a living. , but not every time you can return with a full load, so when you have something to eat, eat more to store some energy for emergencies.

Modern people have retained this instinct, so a diet will trigger this kind of overcompensation. Some people can suppress this instinct with a strong will. But most people, after resisting for a period of time, will obey this instinct, making it difficult to stick to the diet and lose weight. Therefore, the Southern Method is to prolong the residence time of food in the digestive tract, allowing blood sugar levels to rise slowly and stabilize at a higher level for a long time, so as not to cause hunger. There will also be no strong appetite at the beginning of the next meal. Let you eat less naturally. This can be done by changing the staple food, eating less or even no carbohydrates, and eating fish and meat products instead. Yes, you read that right, no rice and pasta, only vegetables and meat! Is it hard to believe such a good thing? Although it’s hard to believe, it does make sense and the results are immediate. The reason is that the fat and protein contained in meat are macromolecular foods with complex structures, which can only be absorbed after a long digestion process. Vegetables contain a lot of fiber and are much more difficult to digest than starch. Therefore, eating these foods is a slow-release process of energy, and blood sugar levels are maintained at a relatively stable level during the digestion and absorption process. We feel that eating meat makes us hungry, and it’s the same reason. In addition to eating meat, there is another principle, which is to eat less and more meals. It is best to eat more than five meals a day. (In ecstasy?) In addition to the three normal meals, you also have to eat snacks around 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. You won't be very hungry when you eat like this. There will be no strong appetite. Thereby reducing the food intake at lunch and dinner. Because there is less exercise in the evening, it is very useful to reduce the amount of food eaten at dinner. South France proceeds in two stages. The first phase lasts for two weeks, which is to cut out carbohydrate foods, that is, do not eat starchy foods, rice, pasta, beer, juice, French fries, potato chips, sweets, etc. And just eat eggs, cheese, fish, chicken, etc. It should be noted that although you are eating meat, you should try to eat so-called white meat such as fish and chicken to avoid high blood fat and cholesterol. A typical recipe is to have eggs, bacon, etc. in the morning. At ten o'clock in the morning, eat a piece of low-fat cheese. Lunch is chicken salad, etc. At four o'clock in the afternoon, eat some nuts, like walnuts, almonds, etc. Pan-fried salmon or grilled chicken drumsticks for dinner. It is best to remove the skin when eating chicken. After these two weeks have passed, you can generally lose five kilograms of weight. However, it is best not to exceed two weeks in the first stage. Eating high-fat and high-protein foods for a long time is not only nutritionally unbalanced, but also harmful to the body. After two weeks, you need to start eating starchy foods. But still have to eat five meals. But choose starchy foods that are not easy to digest, such as brown rice, whole wheat bread, etc. At this stage, you can lose half a kilogram to one kilogram of weight almost every week. This phase can continue until you reach your goal. I also have a small experience. If I wolf down my food, I will eat a lot of food before the food is digested and I feel full. So chew slowly. Artificially increasing food digestion time can also help you lose weight. It should be emphasized that the first phase of Southern France is extremely effective, but you must not extend the first phase without authorization. to avoid health damage. This diet is a trick. Although it works quickly, it is not easy to last. Why? Because human nature is strange. If something is too difficult, of course you will be afraid of it and dare not do it. But if it is too easy, you will not be able to do it. Motivation to do it. It's like someone chasing after you when you're in love. No matter how good the other person's conditions are, you always feel that you can get it easily, but you don't cherish it as much as what you get. The experience of many people using Southern France is that after the first one or two months, they have lost a lot of meat and look more pleasing to the eye. At this time, starchy foods become more and more tempting, such as whistle noodles, meat The cute ones are getting cuter and cuter. Only when I couldn't bear it any longer and after eating a few meals did I realize that those dozen kilograms of meat had returned without knowing when. At this time, many people have experienced losing weight easily and just want to satisfy their appetite first. Anyway, when they want to lose weight, they will lose weight in a month or two. As everyone knows, pressure is like a spring. If you are strong, he will be strong. People who think this way often gain weight again after losing weight once, and the day when they can lose weight again is far away. Just like I read a novel by Ni Kuang, it tells that after a person becomes immortal, he has no motivation to do anything, because everything can be postponed to tomorrow. In the end, he was distressed and wanted to commit suicide. Therefore, although trickery may work for a while, it cannot solve the fundamental problem. If you rely on this kind of trickery, you will be doing yourself a disservice. Obesity, if it is not caused by disease, reflects one's long-term bad living habits. The fundamental solution is to develop a lifestyle of not eating enough and being active. Don't be careful.
