Many of you have heard of calories, but do you really understand them? Here today to give you an introduction to the issue of calories. I. What is a calorie (calories)? A calorie is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1℃. Among the nutrients contained in food, only proteins, lipids and carbohydrates produce calories. One gram of protein and carbohydrate can produce 4 calories, and 1 gram of lipid can produce 9 calories. What is the ideal amount of calories to consume in a day? For example, if you are 160cm (1.6m) tall, your standard weight is about 56kg, so your calorie intake for the day is about 1400~1680 calories. However, according to the age, gender, different living environment, the required calories are different, so the above formula is for reference only, not absolute. Third, as long as the calorie intake is reduced, you will become thin? Many people think that as long as the calorie intake can be reduced to achieve the slimming effect, Ida Youmei pointed out that such a weight loss method is good at first, but for a long time will make the consumption of calories when the energy required is not enough, the body will begin to hoard fat, the more you reduce but more fat. Fourth, meat is high in calories, should not eat more? Ida Tomei said that the meat with more fat does need to control the amount of consumption, but red meat is rich in high protein, iron, minerals, vitamin B complex and other ingredients that can enhance metabolism, and contains a large number of fat burning help L-carnitine, it is recommended to eat a single hand palm size of red meat, 2 to 3 times a week is better. Five, the same calorie of two kinds of food caused by the same degree of obesity? After eating into the food, in digestion, absorption will consume calories, compared with carbohydrates or lipids, decomposition, absorption of protein when consuming higher calories, so eat the same calorie steak and cake, because steak protein high, and rich in carbohydrates and lipids cake compared with not easy to make people fat. In addition, chewing can promote gastrointestinal motility, can also increase the amount of calories consumed. Sixth, because rice is a carbohydrate, therefore high in calories, easy to gain weight? Although carbohydrates should be avoided when losing weight, cooked rice, which contains water, can bring a sense of satiety and is rich in amino acids and dietary fiber, is essential for maintaining health. On the other hand, the gluten in bread can disrupt the operation of the intestines and brain, and the large amount of shortening can easily soften into fat in the body and should not be eaten frequently. Carbohydrates ≠ obesity As mentioned above, many people hold the view that “carbohydrates = obesity”, but in fact, carbohydrates are one of the three indispensable nutrients for the human body. Carbohydrate is the energy source of life activities, after the use of the remaining part will be converted into body fat, accumulated in the body, indeed it is not difficult to make people think that carbohydrate is the cause of obesity. In a carbohydrate-centered diet, it is important to control the intake of fat and try to keep 50-70% of the total calorie intake from carbohydrates, then it can be consumed very effectively. So, in order to be able to lose weight healthily, carbohydrates should still be consumed in accordance with the standard amount, and control the portion size, along with low-calorie diet meals, reduce the intake of lipids, so that the diet diet is not easy for you to gain weight Seven, high calorie fats, so eat less for good? Although oil contains a lot of fat, but the human body is indispensable nutrients. Lipids can maintain body temperature, adjust the hormonal balance, enhance skin protection function, play an important role in the body’s operation. And 50% of the brain consists of lipids, rather than avoid eating, why not actively ingest shiso oil, flaxseed oil and other Omega-3 fatty acid oils, supplemented with good oil, healthy and fat loss! Eight, do not eat breakfast can lose weight? In: weight loss, we should try to control the intake of calories, so many people will think that eating one less meal can reduce the total daily calorie intake, but in fact, do not eat breakfast can really lose weight? Not really. Instead of eating breakfast leads to obesity! To not eat breakfast to be able to lose weight, this view is actually very wrong, one of the most direct result of obesity is to eat one less meal, will make us unconsciously overeat at the next meal, serious will also trigger overeating it! Do not eat breakfast not only make you more prone to fat, but also to supply the brain and the body function of energy is insufficient, the function does not have enough energy to promote the operation, and how can you always keep in the state of high-speed weight loss? Therefore, not only breakfast, 3 meals a day should be properly ingested, 1 can not be less Oh! Nine, the number of diets will be fat? In the time of weight loss, many people choose to reduce the intake of staple foods, low-carbon diet has also once become the weight loss method that everyone has adopted, then, carbohydrates is really one of the causes of obesity? 1 day 2 meals compared with 1 day 5 meals, the latter seems to intake more calories, will be more likely to fat, but in fact, obesity and the number of diets have an inevitable link? In the case of the same calorie intake, eating more often is less likely to make you fat. No matter how many meals a day, as long as the total calorie intake does not increase strictly, eat a few more meals but not easy to gain weight Oh! The principle is actually similar to the previously mentioned, because the longer the interval between meals, the higher the absorption rate of nutrients, and conversely, if you shorten the interval between meals, and keep the calorie does not exceed the standard, you can indeed lose weight. Ten, the intake of carbohydrates will be fat? When it comes to weight loss, many people choose to reduce the intake of staple foods, low-carbon diet has also once become a weight loss method that everyone has adopted, then, carbohydrates is really one of the causes of obesity? Therefore, in order to be able to lose weight healthily, carbohydrates or in accordance with the standard amount to intake, and control the portion size, while with the low-carb diet meal, reduce the intake of lipids, so that the diet diet is not easy for you to gain weight.
