We may have studied together when we were young. That breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but in fact, many studies have come out confirming that skipping breakfast does not have a negative effect on the body as we understand it. In addition, we skip breakfast. causing the body to have a longer period of fasting than before As a result, the body burns more fat that accumulates in the body than before. This is the same principle as doing IF or Intermittent Fasting.
- must eat all meals
The same goes for skipping breakfast. We don’t need to eat all 3 meals as we understand anymore. because nowadays there is research confirming that the more we eat food more often The greater the chance that the body will accumulate fat. Although eating the same amount of calories, i.e. eating the same amount but often Obesity than eating the same amount, but the number of meals less per day.
- eat fruit to the fullest
Fruit is a healthy food and good for people who are on a diet. But not all fruits can be eaten during weight loss. Because many fruits are high in starch and sugar. Therefore should be avoided such as durian, ripe mango, longan, corn, banana, jackfruit, rambutan, sapodilla, lychee, etc.
- eat lots of vegetables
the same with fruit There are many vegetables that are high in carbohydrates. some as much as with eating rice as a ladle Especially root vegetables that are under the ground, such as taro, potato, yam, water chestnuts, should reduce the amount of eating these vegetables during weight loss.
- Eat foods that are very high in fiber.
eating foods that contain fiber or high fiber diet It’s actually good for the body. But high-fiber foods often come with high carbohydrate content. Whether it’s brown rice, unrefined rice, various grains, so even if you choose to eat these foods that are thought to be good for the body. But you shouldn’t eat too much anyway.
