In general, 50%-60% of the calories required by the human body are supplied by sugar, 10%-20% by protein and 20%-25% by fat. The average person eats 30 calories (Kcal)/kg per day as a normal diet.  Daily calorie requirement (Kcal) = standard weight (kg) × 30 I. Diet food (i.e. low-calorie food) 1. staple food: whole wheat bread, corn, cereals, oatmeal.  2.Vegetables: winter melon, cucumber, loofah, radish, tomato, bamboo shoots, spinach, pepper, garlic, etc.  3.Meat: rabbit, beef, lamb, skinless chicken and duck, halibut, shrimp, etc.  4, seafood: kelp, jellyfish, seaweed, shrimp, seaweed, etc.  5, edible mushrooms: black fungus, shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, etc.  6.Beans: soybeans, mung beans, red beans and processed products of beans (tofu, soy milk, etc.).  7, drinks: Pu-erh tea, oolong tea, etc.  Second, weight loss diet control methods 1, food reduction therapy: according to the daily calorie intake of 20 Kcal/kg standard feeding method.  2, low-calorie diet: according to the daily calorie intake of 15 Kcal/kg standard eating method.

Very low-calorie diet: The method of eating according to the standard daily calorie intake of 10 Kcal/kg. This treatment can achieve good results in the short term, but has many side effects, which may cause ketoacidosis, electrolyte disorders, cardiac arrhythmia, hyperuricemia and rapid rebound.
