Nowadays, there is an anti-sugar trend in the market, and everyone gradually believes that the main reason for their obesity is too much sugar intake. Therefore, many people deliberately choose low-sugar foods when eating. Although a low-sugar diet is good, there are still some taboos. So do you know what the taboos are for low-sugar foods? Let’s take a look at the fitness recipes below!
Taboos in eating low-sugar foods
1. Control the amount of food eaten. "Low-calorie" products only promise to have lower calories than similar products at the same quantity. If you eat more, the calories will naturally increase. Never eat a product just because it is low in calories.
2. For all foods with generally low nutritional value, regardless of whether they are low-fat or low-sugar, try to buy and eat as little as possible. Such as cookies, biscuits, sweet drinks, etc. Because of the need to control weight, the amount of food eaten will be smaller, and the nutritional quality requirements of food must be higher.
3. Keep the principle of compensation in mind. If you eat extra snacks, drinks, or even milk, yogurt and fruit, you should appropriately reduce the number of three meals to achieve an overall calorie balance. No matter how high the nutritional value of food is, the calories can never be zero. If you eat too much, there is a risk of gaining weight.
4. For any food that claims to be low-sugar, you must pay attention to how much starch and fat it contains; for any food that claims to be low-fat, you must pay attention to how much starch and sugar it contains. Any one of starch, sugar, and fat may bring high calories to food. It is best to choose the variety with the lowest total calories and the highest protein among similar foods. Because just "low-fat" or "low-sugar" doesn't necessarily mean low-calorie.
Effectiveness of low-sugar diet
1. A low-sugar diet can inhibit the synthesis of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and reduce the production of fatty acids, which is beneficial to weight loss.
2. The comprehensive glycemic index of a low-sugar diet is relatively low, which is more beneficial to the blood sugar stability of DM.
3. A low-sugar diet is better than a low-fat diet in improving blood lipids. It can also reduce the risk factors of coronary heart disease in the short term and increase HDL-C (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol-commonly known as the "vascular scavenger"). "Good cholesterol") can be maintained for a long time. It can also significantly improve the degree of fatty liver in the short term.
4. Low-sugar diet can also be used as an auxiliary treatment for certain diseases: epilepsy, migraine, autism, narcolepsy, brain tumors and brain trauma, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Cancer, etc. (Although it is an exaggeration to starve cancer cells to death, it can slow down the growth and spread of cancer cells).
