Recently, the editor heard about a new healthy weight loss method - meal replacement weight loss. The editor is very curious, what is a meal replacement? Diet pills? Why can I lose weight?

1. What is a meal replacement?

Meal powder, as the name suggests, refers to nutritional powder used to replace certain parts or certain meals. Meal replacement powder is a single or comprehensive powder product made mainly from cereals, beans, potatoes, etc., supplemented by edible parts such as roots, stems, fruits, etc. of other plants.

2. Lose weight instead of powder

This is a weight loss method that uses diet instead of diet. The powder itself can replace the diet with balanced nutrition and has an obvious feeling of fullness, so you will not be hungry after eating, and it can ensure the basic nutritional needs and you can stop eating completely.

What types of food substitute powders are there

The three most popular meal powders currently on the market are grain meal powder, protein milk, and green juice meal powder.

Grain substitute food powder is the most common, made from red beans, barley, oats, konjac, black sesame, wolfberry, red dates, black beans, walnuts, etc., with added sugar, dietary fiber, etc. Typical ones include adzuki bean coix powder, black sesame and black bean powder, etc. From the analysis of raw materials, it is very consistent with the health concept of "eating more whole grains" in recent years, so it is welcomed by many people.

4. The authenticity of meal replacement for weight loss

In fact, you can only consume a small amount of meals while achieving a certain feeling of fullness. It's easier to be healthier than losing weight. However, don’t treat complementary foods as weight loss pills. Eating complementary foods does not mean you can lose weight, but using complementary foods and matching your diet well can achieve the effect of losing weight. The effect of meal replacement for weight loss also varies from person to person. If you have eaten three meals a day so far, using powder instead of meals can effectively reduce your calorie intake and help you lose weight faster. However, if you already eat less, if you use powder instead of meals, the calorie control will not be much different, and the speed of weight loss will also be slower.

5. The flour brands currently on the market are generally Ming Anxu’s konjac meal replacement powder, Laojin Mofang, Wugu Mill, and 159’s series of meal replacements. Relatively new small brands are fast food and green slimming. You can choose according to your own preferences.

6. Specific ingredients of powder

Here, I take the most common cereal meal powder as an example. As for the adzuki bean, barley and wolfberry powder that I added, judging from the product name, the main ingredients are adzuki bean, barley and wolfberry. Let’s look at what each of these ingredients does.

Adzuki beans not only have a nourishing effect, but also have a slimming effect. This is mainly because adzuki beans can eliminate edema. People often say red face or red face, but it is actually the effect of red face.

Barley is easy to digest and absorb. It is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine and a common food. Whether used for nourishment or medicine, the effects are relieving. Barley is also a beauty food. Regular consumption can keep human skin delicate and shiny, and remove acne, freckles, age spots, pregnancy spots, and butterfly spots. Wolfberry and modern pharmacological research have confirmed that wolfberry can regulate the body's immune function, effectively inhibit tumor growth and cell mutation, delay aging, resist fatty liver, regulate blood lipids and blood sugar, and promote hematopoietic function.

The above effects are very good for women. With a reasonable ratio, it is also a very good choice for office workers and students who do not want to lose weight but are too busy at work to have breakfast.
