Vegetarian diet should be natural.
Whether vegetarian diet is the right way to lose weight depends on whether the food we eat is mainly natural vegetarian. Most foods eaten by city people are refined foods, which can be digested without consuming a lot of energy. White rice, bread, cakes, potato chips, instant noodles, etc. all belong to this kind of refined food. Because of the fast digestion time, there will soon be a message that you are hungry. If you eat more food than you consume energy, there will be an obesity crisis.
People need to eat is a natural body function, forcing themselves to go on a diet to lose weight, and the body's needs can't be met. Although they may lose weight in a short time, suppressing it for a long time will have the opposite effect, which will affect metabolism, slow it down, and even lead to anorexia and bulimia.
Vegetarian food should also be selective in drinking and eating.
According to nutritionists, eating correctly can make people satisfied, without starving, and keep fit. For example, if you eat only a few pieces of butter that have reached 500 calories, you will naturally feel hungry after eating, but if you eat 500 calories of natural vegetarian food, such as 250 calories of potatoes and 250 calories of tomatoes, Chinese cabbage, radishes and green beans, you will be quite full. If you want to follow a vegetarian diet to lose weight, you should ban all kinds of meat and try to reduce or not eat oil.
Natural vegetarianism includes the following foods:
Natural grains-barley, brown rice, millet, oats, wheat, etc.
Whole wheat flour products-whole wheat bread.
