Yogurt is actually a fermented product of milk. Lactic acid bacteria in yogurt decompose lactose in milk into lactic acid, and other components are basically the same as milk. In addition, there are many probiotic ingredients in yogurt, such as Bifidobacterium, Streptococcus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. So more friends who lose weight place their hopes on these beneficial bacteria, but what can these beneficial bacteria do for you?
Unfortunately, they may not be able to do anything for you. Some friends think that beneficial bacteria can improve my intestinal health! It can relieve constipation, make my bowel movements smooth, digest food more easily and absorb fat! But the beneficial bacteria in yogurt may not have that great ability to improve intestinal flora. What's more, it's a pity that they estimate that there is something wrong with your intestines. Unless there are waves of beneficial bacteria entering the intestine, after strict environmental selection, some other bacteria that are not friendly to them will be excluded, and there may be only a small improvement in their hard survival. And they are not as magical as we thought, what can inhibit fat absorption, scraping oil and so on. In addition, don't forget that yogurt also inherits the fat in milk. It is not necessarily a low-fat and low-calorie food.
Then why is yogurt helpful to lose weight?
Lactic acid in yogurt has a good feeling of satiety, and some beneficial bacteria may be beneficial to the digestion of the stomach in a short time, so … maybe that's it. In addition, many yogurts sold now belong to the types with more added substances, such as glucose, sucrose and maltose. There are also some sweeteners and possibly condensed milk, oil and other ingredients, so the sugar content should not be underestimated. If you drink too much yogurt, you may eat too much sugar and eventually turn it into fat. Therefore, it is best for dieters to buy plain yogurt with less sugar.
