For sweet drinks before meals, you should choose real fruit juice, vegetable juice or soybean milk with low sugar and low calorie. And some restaurants' homemade corn juice, pumpkin juice and miscellaneous grain juice are all good choices.
The better choice of cold dishes is raw vegetables and vegetables dipped in sauce, plus starchy foods (such as buckwheat noodles and fern root powder), root foods (such as lotus root slices and yam) and fruit salads, with one or two fish and bean products with little oil. Appetizing with these refreshing foods can ensure the intake of dietary fiber, potassium and magnesium in a meal, and also avoid protein being wasted as energy.
Try to choose dishes with refreshing taste for the main course, such as steamed, boiled and stewed dishes. You can also choose high-grade vegetarian dishes that you eat less on weekdays, such as fungi, high-grade emerging vegetables, health nuts, algae, potatoes and other vegetables with health value. These vegetarians can not only promote health, but also reduce the burden on the digestive system, which is more conducive to self-cultivation.
Facing the greasy dishes such as sweet and sour, honey juice, thicken, etc. in the main course, it is suggested that you can prepare a bowl of boiled water or soup beside it, rinse the food before eating, and drain the excess oil and water.
As the saying goes: "Drinking soup before meals is slim and healthy; Drink soup after a meal, and the more you drink, the fatter you get. " Studies have shown that drinking soup before meals can make people absorb less calories of 100~ 190 kcal. Light, low-fat soup can increase satiety, reduce appetite and help you resist the temptation of delicious food. Drink soup slowly. Eating soup slowly can leave enough time for the digestion and absorption of food. When you feel full, it is the right time to eat.
When eating in a western restaurant, you should know whether it is a high-fat food from the menu. For example, "Huoju" means cooking with cream and cheese, "white juice" means cream juice, and "pie" is mostly crispy. Comparatively, the calories of baked and smoked food are much lower. Really confused, you might as well ask the waiter how to cook the dishes directly to help you make the right decision.
