    In fact, there is no healthy weight loss recipe that is suitable for all people. Judging from the feedback from dozens of friends who follow me to adjust their diet, as long as it meets the criteria of "slightly lower than daily consumption of calories, high nutrient density, low glycemic, and strong satiety", it is a good recipe for you. There is no need to chew hard-to-swallow boiled vegetables, and there is no need to be so hungry that you feel dizzy and affect your work and life.

    Last year, I helped my cousin who had just finished the college entrance examination adjust her diet. In order to wear a graduation dress, she only ate an apple a day for half a month. She was so hungry that she couldn't concentrate during the mock exam, and she lost weight again and again. After eating this way for more than two months, she stabilized her weight loss by 14 pounds, let alone regained it. After going to college, she followed the same diet and is now 12 pounds lighter than when she graduated. Her face, which had been prone to acne before, has become much smoother.

    Speaking of which, there are a lot of controversies about weight-loss diets on the Internet. Some people say that you must completely cut off carbs to lose weight quickly. Others say that cutting out carbs is not as harmful to the body as eating normally. There are people around me who have tried both. My friend who cut off carbs did lose 10 kilograms in a month, but soon began to suffer from hair loss and aunt's delay. After returning to eating carbs, he gained 7 kilograms back.; Although friends who insisted on eating slow carbs only lost 3 pounds in the first month, they did not have any uncomfortable reactions. After steadily losing 18 pounds in half a year, which one is better really depends on your own needs. Whether you want to lose weight quickly in the short term or lose weight healthily without rebounding in the long term, there is no absolute right or wrong.

    If you are a nine-to-five office worker, you don’t need to make complicated meals in the morning. Just add steamed corn, a hard-boiled egg, and a handful of tomatoes to eat on the go. It can be done in less than 10 minutes. The low-glycemic combination will not make your blood sugar go up and down like a roller coaster, and you won’t be craving for the biscuits on your colleague’s desk all morning. Bringing rice for lunch is easy. Steam a small bowl of multigrain rice in advance at night, about 100g, then add 150g of fried chicken breast or stir-fried lean beef, and add half a pound of stir-fried green leafy vegetables. Microwave it for two minutes and you can eat it. It contains half the oil and salt than takeout, and the taste is not bad.

    Oh, by the way, some people think that weight-loss recipes are expensive, but that’s not true. I have calculated that if I eat like this, the cost of ingredients for a day is less than 20 yuan, which is much cheaper than ordering takeout every day. If you are really greedy, it’s okay to eat the hot pot or cake you want one day a week, as long as you don’t feel guilty and overeat after eating. After all, losing weight is a long-term thing, and you can’t just eat bland “standard recipes” for the rest of your life, right. The ones that you can stick to are the best recipes for you.
