[Four tips for bean sprouts to lose weight]

Nutritionist Yu Zhuqing said that when taking bean sprouts to lose weight, you should pay attention to the following 4 tips:

1. Replace a meal

When adopting the bean sprout weight loss method, you can only replace one of the three meals to avoid drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and causing inattention.

2. Intake < 150 grams

The daily intake of bean sprouts should not exceed 150 grams. Because consuming too much insoluble dietary fiber can cause stomach pain.

3. Pair with natural ingredients

Eating it with other natural ingredients can make the nutrition more balanced.

For example: low-fat, high-protein foods include seafood, chicken, and soy beans. Mushrooms include shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, and black fungus. Algae include kelp, wakame, nori, and hair algae, while vegetables include beef tomatoes, bell peppers, cauliflower, and wild rice shoots.

4. Stay hydrated

When using bean sprouts to lose weight, you still need to drink water in moderation. Drinking more water can promote metabolism and help digestion and absorption.

Bean sprouts are divided into soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts. Soybeans are a type of protein found in eggs, beans, fish and meat, while mung beans are a staple starch. Both types of bean sprouts have the characteristics of high fiber and low fat, are rich in dietary fiber, and are low in calories. Therefore, bean sprout dishes are a good way to lose fat.

However, in order to avoid buying bleached bean sprouts with black heart, it is recommended to choose bean sprouts that are yellowish in color, curved, have fibrous roots and leaves, or sprouts with a production history, so that you can eat them with more peace of mind.
