Yoghurt is a nutritious food that everyone loves to drink, especially those who are trying to lose weight. There used to be a saying on the Internet, "The calories of drinking one can of yogurt are equal to two cans of Coke." In fact, this is an unreliable statement, and it is necessary to restore the truth of the matter.

A cup of yogurt ≠ two cans of Coke. This is actually an obvious math problem. Let’s analyze and take a look:

1. Yogurt VS Coke - the calories of 100 grams of yogurt are about 404 kilojoules, and the calories of 100ml of cola are about 180 kilojoules. Judging from the calories alone, is a cup of yogurt really high in calories? In fact, this is not the case. The weight of a cup of yogurt is about 90-120g, and a can of Coke generally has 330ml, which means that a can of Coke contains 594 kilojoules of calories. Therefore, in terms of calories, one cup of yogurt ≠ two cans of Coke.

2. From the perspective of nutritional value, Coke cannot be compared with yogurt-

In addition to sugar, Coke only contains a small amount of minerals and does not contain protein, fat, or vitamins. . Yogurt is different. It is rich in protein, fat, sugar, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. The key is that calcium is easier to absorb and has a good calcium supplement effect.

3. From the perspective of inhalation, after cola enters the body, it will be quickly digested and absorbed. Of course, only sugar is absorbed, and the sugar will be converted into calories and then into fat. Yogurt is absorbed and digested slower than cola, and it also has a good feeling of fullness, so it is considered to have a weight loss effect. At the same time, the GI value (glycemic index) of yogurt is lower than that of cola, and its ability to cause blood sugar fluctuations is lower.

So, can yogurt help you lose weight?

The answer is yes. The key is how to drink yogurt. It is recommended to drink yogurt before meals to increase the feeling of fullness and not to eat too much after meals. This can appropriately play a role in "weight loss" ", if you want to drink it after meals, you should eat less, otherwise you will easily become "fat".

It should also be noted that yogurt and cola cannot be drunk together. Coke is a carbonated drink, and yogurt contains some probiotic ingredients that will accelerate the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract and may cause discomfort to some people.
