Generally speaking, among the three meals a day, dinner is closely related to the increase or decrease of weight. So we can eat rice, bread, noodles and so on at breakfast and lunch every day. As usual, tofu is the staple food for dinner.
2. Although tofu is nutritious and has a good effect on slimming, don't just eat tofu for dinner. In order to make the body supplement the nutrients it needs, it must be eaten with a certain amount of vegetables or meat, and it must not be blind!
3. Start with tofu staple food three times a week, and gradually increase it to tofu every dinner after adaptation, which can speed up the weight loss plan!
Although tofu is a low-calorie food, you should never overeat. A piece of tofu contains 200 calories, and eating too much will lead to excess calories! So it's best to eat at most one piece a day.
If you can't do it yourself at ordinary times, it's not bad to try to drink soybean milk or go to the supermarket to buy instant tofu.
6. Sticking to the tofu diet for 2-3 weeks may enter a stagnation period. At this time, while maintaining the tofu diet, we might as well increase the intensity of exercise to break through the bottleneck.
Analysis of tofu's weight loss effect
1. Tofu can not only reduce cholesterol and triglycerides, but also activate cells in muscles and viscera, make blood flow smooth and improve blood gas.
2, half a piece of tofu, that is, 150g, contains 108 calories and contains a certain amount of vegetable fat, so a small piece is full! In addition, the blood sugar index is lower than that of rice, so it can effectively inhibit the increase of blood sugar value caused by diet.
3. Soybean oligosaccharides can improve the intestinal environment, fully replenish water and solve the constipation problem, and toxins and deposits in the body can naturally be discharged smoothly.
4. Tofu contains a lot of plant protein, but the fat content is very low compared with meat and fish, which can supplement the protein consumed by muscle exercise.
5. Soybean saponin is a good helper for cholesterol absorption, inhibition and decomposition. At the same time, absorbing the fat on the inner wall of digestive tract can effectively improve body fat!
6. It is rich in vitamin B, which metabolizes lipids, protein and carbohydrates, and converts these substances into energy, thus making the weight-loss exercise go smoothly and increasing the intensity.
7. Insufficient iron content in the body will not only lead to anemia, but also seriously hinder the process of fat burning. Tofu rich in iron can accelerate the burning of fat and make you lose weight faster.
8. Generally, it takes 4 hours or more for the intestines and stomach to digest animal protein, and the water content of tofu is very high, so that the intestines and stomach can digest and absorb protein in a short time, which makes the intestines and stomach completely unburdened.
