Bean products account for the vast majority in vegetarian dishes. After all, soybean is the best protein that plants can provide besides animal protein. But many sugar friends who eat soy products report that blood sugar will rise!

Reason: Many bean products are typical deep-processed dishes, such as vegetarian chicken and vegetarian ham. Most of these vegetarian foods are made from tofu coats. The so-called tofu coat refers to the natural oil film formed on the surface of soybean milk during boiling and cooling.

According to the Dietary Nutrition Guide for China Residents, every100g of tofu coat can provide about 300 kilocalories, which has been clearly classified as high-calorie and high-fat food.

Suggestion: Although tofu coat also contains many vitamins and trace elements, compared with such high calories and fat, it is really not suitable for people who love sugar.

Vegetarian steamed stuffed bun, eat slowly

Many sugar lovers will choose 1~2 vegetarian steamed buns for breakfast, thinking that on the one hand, the taste is relatively light, on the other hand, vegetables are supplemented in moderation. According to the Dietary Nutrition Guide for China Residents, 1 vegetarian steamed buns with a size of about 90 ~ 100g provide about 160 ~ 180 kcal, which is a low-calorie and low-fat food.

But after eating this kind of breakfast, blood sugar tends to be high, which makes many sugar friends very headache.

Reason: People often eat vegetarian buns in the morning, on the way to work or in the company lounge, and they can swallow two buns in one breath, and the eating speed is obviously proportional to the postprandial blood sugar. The faster you eat, the higher your blood sugar will be.

Suggestion: We advocate that vegetarian steamed buns can be eaten. However, it is suggested that sugar friends eat vegetable buns slowly and chew them a few times at a time, which not only supplements nutrition but also takes into account postprandial blood sugar.

Vegetarian dishes are not cooked with meat, so why not?

Because vegetarian food itself has a light taste, people often use heavy oil, heavy salt and other cooking methods for processing, and try their best to improve the appearance and taste of ingredients, thus producing the so-called "meat-vegetable collocation."

As a result, the blood sugar of sugar friends increased after eating!

Reason: The cooking methods of vegetarian dishes and meat are harmful to health. On the one hand, it will increase the loss of natural nutrients in ingredients, on the other hand, it will unconsciously increase the intake of oil, salt and sugar, and it will also accelerate the passivation of our taste, which is not conducive to correcting the intake of salt and sugar caused by taste differences.

Suggestion: Vegetarian dishes should be well prepared ~ light is most suitable for sugar friends to eat ~

A light diet does not mean a vegetarian diet.

There is nothing wrong with the light diet we advocate. However, people who love sugar still need to master the identification of diet structure in order to enjoy food correctly and reasonably, instead of thinking that it is healthy and nutritious just by the word "vegetarian" in the name of the dish. The key to a light diet is to be relaxed, to face the temptation of unhealthy food, and to be quiet inside, so as to truly appreciate the true meaning of "vegetarian food".
