Weight reduction methods are strange, but to be able to reduce weight and will not harm the body of the method, can be said to be few and far between. Recently, an elderly woman in Australia ate a package of Japanese "weight loss magic weapon" konjac noodles, but accidentally caused konjac noodles because of indigestion, and blocked in the stomach to make the stomach swell, almost causing the stomach to be broken tragedy. There are some weight reducers often take konjac as a staple food, that low-calorie high-fiber and can increase the sense of satiety. However, the nutritionist reminded, if often to konjac as a staple food, there will be unexpected risks.

Long-term konjac as a meal to eat fear of fatigue, dizziness

Eat konjac does have a certain weight loss effect, but konjac diet is not used correctly, will lead to serious sequelae. Nutritionist You Weiming said that the characteristics of konjac is not easy to digest, absorb water expansion, low calorie, soluble fiber, but lack of sugar, protein, fat and other important nutrients. Weight loss people if long-term konjac as a regular meal to eat, will soon appear tired, dizziness, discomfort and other symptoms.

In addition, the konjac is not easy to digest, must be fully chewed and eaten, in order to enter the small intestine from the stomach, if it is swallowed by mistake, will cause gastrointestinal tract obstruction, the serious must be operated to take out, so the old man and the child to eat the konjac-related food, to be especially careful.

The nutritional value of konjac is very low calories about 40 calories

Recognize the characteristics of konjac, we are also curious about the konjac what are the nutrients? The raw material of konjac is from the tubers of plants in the family of Amanita phalloides, the tubers are sliced and dried and ground into a powder that is konjac powder, added to the water can be solidified into a taste Q elastic solid, and then after different processing, it becomes a common market konjac rice, konjac noodles, konjac strips.

The nutritional value of konjac is very low, the main component of 90 ~ 95% for the water, so the calories about 40 calories, but has a high water-soluble dietary fiber, so eat konjac in the right way, for constipation, control of blood lipids, blood glucose, weight loss has considerable help. Domestic research has found that 3 weeks of daily consumption of 4.5 grams of konjac powder, help health and constipation patients with blood sugar and intestinal physiological function of the improvement.

But, konjac is not suitable as the main food of the meal, if a large amount of konjac intake, will cause nutrient intake deficiencies, such as: anemia, dizziness, fatigue and other symptoms. Therefore, the correct way to eat konjac is to suggest that 1/2 of the starch, or a vegetable with konjac instead of a meal of calories, dietary fiber to improve, but also to eat the right amount of nutrients, after all, every day we need to be active, there are still enough nutrients, in order to live a healthy life.

Potato as a staple food, to avoid excessive sugar intake fat accumulation

In addition to konjac, there are some weight loss people used to take potatoes as a staple food, the same is that potatoes can also increase the sense of satiety, and potatoes compared to konjac, and which one is better?

Nutritionist You Weiming said, potato belongs to the whole grain cereals food, which also includes: groundnut, taro, pumpkin, beans, etc., mainly to provide the body with the sugar needed to save the body depletion of protein and fat. Modern people in fact sugar intake is quite easy to excess, resulting in excessive body calories can not be used up, and converted into fat hoarding in the abdomen. So the konjac and potato with eat together, not only is to reduce calorie intake, but also increased more dietary fiber, for the body environmental protection more helpful.

Konjac 100 grams per meal is appropriate

Konjac is a kind of indigestible, and to fully chew to eat the food, otherwise easy to block in the stomach and intestines, so the elderly, children and indigestion in the consumption of the person must be especially careful. Konjac 100 grams per meal is appropriate, too much will cause other important nutrients intake is insufficient. Konjac is moderately flavored and processed, which will cause a significant increase in calories, because the more you eat, the more you eat, if there is no moderate intake of water, intestinal feces will be dry and cause constipation.

Want to rely entirely on konjac to reduce the weight of the people must pay attention to, carbohydrates are to maintain the body's normal activities of the fuel, our body's cells, muscles, organs, the brain, need to rely on carbohydrates, and the konjac itself 90 ~ 95% are water, long-term eating and can not maintain the body's healthy functioning! So konjac is best suited as a supporting role to replace some of the starch or vegetables, while the body can also be obtained from a variety of food nutrients to maintain normal physiological functioning, so that is the most secure konjac weight loss method.

Konjac noodles weight loss hazards

Konjac contains sixteen kinds of amino acids, ten kinds of mineral trace elements and rich in dietary fiber, but the human body needs nutrition and not just these, especially for weight loss, you can eat konjac in moderation, about the recipe, the correct weight loss meal should be the choice of high-protein, high-fiber, low-sugar, low-carbohydrate, as well as a moderate amount of fat, which will ensure that your nutritional balance, and will not reduce the metabolism. Suggest that you, moderate consumption of soy products, milk and fish and poultry meat, to supplement the body's protein needs; more consumption of dark vegetables and low-sugar low-calorie fruits (apples, pears), to supplement the soluble dietary fiber; reduce the intake of staple foods (rice, noodles, bread, buns), to maintain a low-sugar diet, and daily intake of carbohydrates in the 100g - 200g or so. At the same time, it should be noted that the distribution of carbohydrates in the three meals should be an inverted pyramid, that is to say, breakfast intake of carbohydrates is the highest, followed by lunch, dinner is the least. Eating konjac along with these essential dietary fiber foods improves your gut flora so that you don't go dependent on junk food. Then again, exercise, aerobic exercise is recommended, aerobic exercise is a good way to lose fat. For example, jogging for 30-45 minutes with the right fat loss diet. 30 minutes before exercise, you can try to drink some sports drinks containing tea polyphenols to accelerate fat burning, you can lose weight faster.

Daily intake is reduced, but not hungry is to consume the body's internal storage of nutrients, which can lead to ischemic anemia, calcium deficiency, osteoporosis, kidney problems, liver and pancreas problems, cholecystitis. I have examples around me, so I have not dared to diet to lose weight, to eat, to be fully nutritious, so as to be healthy. Don't can eat a kind of food, so the nutritional imbalance is more likely to get fat. Konjac noodles can not always eat, you can eat mixed grain noodles, cornmeal, etc. to reconcile and eat, do not eat every day, I eat that thing has to be bad for the body, the stomach is very difficult.
