Eat 5 meals a day to go so far as to become slim, there is no basis? It's suitable for both types of people

Weight loss, is a never outdated practice, no matter which month of the year is very suitable for weight loss. But also because many fat friends fall into the wrong diet, including not eating breakfast, not eating dinner can lose 10 kg, drinking weight loss tea is useful, and so on, really paid a "stupid tax". 

There is a good case around. 35 year old Xiao Li never goes on a diet. On the contrary, unlike most people, he eats five meals a day. He not only changes from a fat person to a graceful lady, but also maintains a healthy and ideal weight every day. Is there any basis?

First, I'll explain a misunderstanding: whether you can lose weight if you skip meals or eat certain foods alone?

According to the survey, too many people lose weight by not eating. After a few weeks, they are overjoyed to find that they are indeed thin, but their weight rises slowly after they resume their diet. This is mainly because of the sudden change in diet, which leads to a double sense of hunger. In the way of overeating, the intestinal flora is damaged, and the water that has been lost will still be filled up.

So if you just don't eat in a short period of time, although you can be thin, but the probability of rebound is very large. If you don't eat for a short time, you will get fatter and fatter. And it's not all right to eat a certain kind of food.

Even if it is healthy food coarse grains, people with poor gastrointestinal and malnourished people overeating, feel fuller, but a large amount of fiber will stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and affect other food intake, the final effect is not good.

Can five meals a day really lose weight?

It depends on how you eat it. Some people do achieve five meals, but almost every meal is big fish and meat. A large number of high protein and high fat food will increase the burden on the stomach, intestines and kidneys, which is not a wise move. What's more, we suggest that we have five meals a day, three of which are breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the remaining two meals are in the form of extra meals.

The healthy practice is to use fresh fruits, dairy products (yogurt, milk), vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers) with high moisture and low calorie and easy to eat, eggs.

Especially in patients with diabetes, insulin secretion is insufficient due to inborn insufficiency, or acquired bad habits and so on, if a large number of high glycemic load food, or eat too much, postprandial blood glucose rises suddenly, aggravating the disease, not to mention, but also easy to cause diabetic complications. The more suitable way for diabetic patients is five meals a day, with meals added in the middle and the regular meals that is about 70% full to stabilize blood sugar.

There are also obese patients, because in front of the big meal resistance is too weak, may as well add a meal between every two meals, eat food rich in dietary fiber, including fresh vegetables and fruits, etc., the dinner intake will be relatively reduced, which is beneficial to the control of reasonable weight.
