My grandmother is a diabetic, and because of her family's poor dietary control, she sometimes suffers serious complications from hypoglycemia because she eats too few carbohydrates, which is even more dangerous than poor blood sugar control. And she once ate several meals of broccoli because her family asked her to eat a "light diet", causing her to cry when she saw the broccoli. In fact, this life in the red fruit example really taught me how important "mindful eating", holding on to the food aversion to reject so as to achieve slimming, light diet, the principle of diabetes, high blood pressure is counterproductive, not only may lead to more serious complications, but also the heart will be very depressing.

As a "high food quotient" of foodies, how can we tolerate the sacrifice of deliciousness for the health of this lifelong contract? Here's a look at some of the misconceptions about light eating, to see what's really "light food"!

1. Light diet ≠ diet ≠ health

Light diet is in fact a relatively subjective description, some people think that millet porridge + salted vegetables called light; some people think that vegetable salad called light, and some people think that the fruit as a meal called light. In fact, these concepts reflect all --- only dieting is called light.

The concept that needs to be subverted here is that eating light does not mean restraining your appetite, and it does not mean being healthy!

And simple dieting has been proven by countless examples to be incapable of sustaining long-term weight loss. Even diet and exercise, which is a biblical approach to weight loss, has been tested and found to rebound after one year in as many as half of the population. [1]

And not only is weight loss such a one-sided effect, the use of dieting practices, not only psychological stress, but also the body will be caught in the vicious circle of "basal metabolism damage" and then easy to regain weight.

Even if an individual is determined to go on a "lifelong" diet, the results are often no better than those of a balanced diet, but the cost is great.

The key to weight loss and healthy eating is not to "keep your mouth shut" but to "eat smart," and the diet that will keep you healthy must be a burden-free habit rather than a deliberate task. Just like people who really enjoy waking up early to exercise, never feel that he is carrying out a chore, while those who are forced to get up by the "dream", often in the short-term persistence after all give up. It's the same with dieting to lose weight and get healthy. So - really want to do healthy eating, first of all to give up dieting to seek the correct diet structure, re-know food and then set up a correct view of food - only then can develop a lifelong healthy habits, rather than a moment of exhaustion "flood power" to sprint to lose weight.

Life is not a 100-meter race, so why give yourself a hard time at the most enjoyable age?

2. High-calorie food ≠ poison, high-calorie food is often categorized as "junk food", and junk food is usually high in "negative nutrients" and lack of "positive nutrients".

But even that doesn't mean these foods are completely off limits. Remember, they are not poisons and are not damaging to the body within reason. Because, although these foods are not cost-effective, but the food to bring a person is not simply a sense of satiety and nutrition, it also has the soul comfort and stimulate the body's other role ah - what rush than ice cream in the summer, winter hot jasmine tea, a piece of chocolate in boredom, afternoon tea to a packet of French fries, the night of hunger a packet of instant noodles more enjoyable?

Although, they are not nutritious food, but the happiness they bring you is something that can't be replaced by anything else. Who wouldn't want to force themselves to nibble on a carrot plus celery and then reassure themselves that they're on a light diet when they're starving, right? You know, we have a certain share of nutrition and calories every day, so in the face of a strong desire for junk food, repression is often not the best way, but to squeeze out a little share to satisfy their own desires, and then rest assured to enjoy these "small indulgences" to bring the fun is the right approach. Think of all the schoolboys who have a little fun, don't they?

But if you want to say that your desire is to eat french fries and cola every day plus instant noodles or to jerk off night after night, then I can only say that this kind of young man is in need of psychological treatment.
