2. How long will it last? -insist on at least 3 months, preferably 6 months.
Stick to it for at least 3 months, which is different from the devil's diet that pursues quick success but is particularly harmful to the body. The "night tomato diet" hopes that people can eat beautifully, sleep soundly, have good skin and be in a good mood besides slimming down. Therefore, please don't expect "miracles" such as eating 5 Jin of meat a week. Although you may find that you have lost 2 kilograms in silence after one month, please stick to it.
From a medical point of view, it takes an average of six months for the body's metabolism and other circulatory cycles. When the body can "remember" this state that lasted for six months, it can be truly maintained for a longer and more effective period. Therefore, please stick to it for at least 3~5 months, so that our bodies can firmly "remember" this light state after thinning.
3. How much do you eat? -Daily intake of more than15mg of lycopene.
When you make up your mind to start the life of "tomato losing weight at night", please remember that you must ensure that you consume more than15mg of lycopene every day.
When eating tomatoes raw
You can eat two large tomatoes to lose weight in summer. Red series (usually big red, hard skin, not easy to peel off) is better than peach series (usually yellowish, bright and thin skin, easy to peel off), and contains 3 times as much lycopene as peach series. Or eat 17 small tomatoes, also known as cherry tomatoes, with higher nutrients, and carotene, vitamin C and dietary fiber are all 1.5~2 times that of ordinary tomatoes.
Drink a bottle of tomato juice.
If you want more obvious effect, it is recommended to drink 2~3 bottles a day. Drinking a bottle of tomato juice is equivalent to eating two raw tomatoes.
When cooking with tomatoes
Nearly 4 tablespoons (80g and 60g respectively) of tomato paste or mashed tomatoes can be used. For canned tomatoes, you can use 1 can (170g). Tomato paste and mashed tomatoes and vegetables are both processed foods, which contain more lycopene than raw tomatoes.
Special reminder: The "ketchup", "mashed tomatoes" and "canned tomatoes" mentioned here are all different from "tomato sauce". The first three are concentrated sauces made of fresh tomatoes, which are cooked and smashed in a blender, then stir-fried with olive oil, minced garlic and diced onion, and then mixed with bay leaves, rum, water and pepper. The "tomato sauce" is a sauce made by mixing fresh soup with prepared tomato sauce, adding white sugar, refined salt and so on to dry the water. Sauce is not recommended because of its high sugar and calories. So please read the label and ingredients clearly when buying.
4. The indispensable factor of success is to try to keep a regular life.
Partial eclipse, overeating and lack of sleep, these bad habits of daily life are also unfavorable to the "night tomato diet". Therefore, eating three meals regularly, adjusting the time of going to bed and getting up, and ensuring adequate sleep are all essential contents of the "night tomato diet".
Without this factor, it is difficult for tomatoes to exert their magic even if they are as good and wonderful as possible. Although lycopene has a miraculous effect on reducing fat and repelling excess oxygen free radicals, it must not be over-dependent, and good diet and work habits are equally indispensable.
Special reminder: tomatoes are excellent food for losing weight in summer, but they tend to be cool. Excessive consumption will cause diarrhea, body cold and other uncomfortable reactions. Therefore, eating in the evening is by no means "more is better", just in moderation; In addition, you can also add hot and warm ingredients such as salt, onion, ginger and garlic when cooking, which can warm your body and solve this small problem.
In addition, because tomato pulp contains colloid and soluble astringent, it will react with gastric acid on an empty stomach to form insoluble lumps, which will block the stomach and cause abdominal pain. Therefore, please don't eat on an empty stomach.
Tomato diet
Method 1: Eat before meals.
If eating a tomato before meals can help you lose weight, it's because low-calorie tomatoes have taken up part of the stomach space to avoid eating too many calories later. Basically, if you can maintain a normal diet and don't think you can overeat just because you eat tomatoes, this method is quite healthy, but if you don't eat anything but tomatoes, it's tantamount to forcing yourself to eat low calories, although you may lose weight.
Method 2: Eat at lunch.
The developed weight-loss method, according to Chinese medicine, can increase the thermogenic effect of the body, make the calorie metabolism after meals vigorous, and accelerate the consumption of calories, which is quite helpful for weight loss.
Stick to it for at least 3 months
Many people are eager for success, and often give up after a few days or weeks without seeing the effect. But medically speaking, the metabolic cycle of skin and nails takes an average of 6 months. And it is said that the human body can remember the state that lasted for 6 months, and then keep it like this after remembering it. So please let your body remember the state after getting thinner.
