Eat only vegetables for dinner to lose weight? Nutritionists teach you how to lose weight

In order to lose weight successfully, you must have tried eating only vegetables for dinner. Some people found it effective at first, but then they didn’t feel anything. However, some people still can’t lose weight even if they eat like this! Stop abusing yourself. Nutritionists say this method is not feasible. They suggest eating clear soup noodles + chicken slices + vegetables instead. You don’t have to starve and you can lose weight!

"Only eating green vegetables" is a very common way to lose weight. People always think that vegetables are low in calories, so eating this way should help them lose weight. Some people even emphasized that they had normal breakfast and lunch, and only ate vegetables for dinner, "This should be healthy, right?"

Eating only green vegetables can cause hunger and low blood sugar.

In fact, nutritionist Zhang Wenyi said that green vegetables are rich in dietary fiber. Although you will feel full right after eating them, the feeling usually does not last long and you will soon feel hungry again. Instead, you will be more likely to look for snacks and eat more! Even if you only eat vegetables for dinner among the three meals, it is not a correct way; because vegetables are low in calories, this way of eating may lead to insufficient blood sugar, causing hypoglycemia, cold sweats, physical discomfort, etc.

Eat some starchy food, half a bowl of rice or clear soup noodles

Therefore, when losing weight, no matter which meal it is, you should eat some starch in addition to vegetables to feel energetic and vibrant. Nutritionist Zhang Wenyi said that you can eat less starch, but you cannot completely avoid it. She suggested eating half a bowl of rice, half a sweet potato, a small bowl of noodles, etc. instead. However, both rice and noodles should be light. You can eat clear soup noodles, but don't add braised meat or other sauces, otherwise you will only consume more fat and calories.

Eat nutritious food with tofu or meat slices to lose weight

As for side dishes, it is recommended to eat protein-rich tofu, boiled eggs, and boiled pork slices (yes! You can still eat some meat to lose weight). For meat, you can choose chicken or fish with lower fat content. In this way, if you pair it with plenty of green vegetables, it will not only be low in calories but also nutritious. Don't torture yourself just to lose weight!

Vegetables reduce fat absorption, replenish water and prevent constipation

In addition to the advantage of being low in calories, do green vegetables have any other benefits for weight loss? Nutritionist Zhang Wenyi pointed out that vegetables are rich in dietary fiber, which helps to clear out stool, and can also reduce cholesterol in the body and reduce fat absorption. Therefore, when you occasionally crave fried food, don't forget to eat plenty of vegetables, which will help reduce the body's absorption of fat.

It is recommended to consume 3 to 4 servings of vegetables per day, and 1 serving (after cooking) is equal to 1/2 of a normal bowl of rice. While eating vegetables, you should also drink enough water. It is recommended to supplement about 2000c.c. every day so that bowel movements will be smoother!
