When it comes to losing weight, what you eat first is the key!

"Everyone has a glutton in their heart." Whenever it's late at night and you're lying in bed unable to sleep, or when you're watching a movie and feel a little empty spiritually, the glutton in your heart will come out to make trouble, making your heart and mouth itchy, and falling into the trap of eating non-stop! In fact, loving to eat is not an unforgivable sin. You just need to know the "key order" of eating. Then your body will no longer feel empty, and your heart will no longer feel guilty.

When people feel hungry, they tend to eat high-calorie-density foods (such as instant noodles, biscuits, and cakes) to get immediate satisfaction. However, this way of eating can easily cause blood sugar to fluctuate rapidly and consume too many unnecessary calories. According to the book "7 Days of Eating in the Right Order to Lose Belly" published by nutritionist Li Wanping, the best eating order is to start with dietary fiber, then protein, and finally carbohydrates.

1. Eat dietary fiber first to increase satiety

The reason why dietary fiber is placed in the first step is that it can prolong the feeling of fullness. Eat vegetables, seaweed, mushrooms and other ingredients first. The amount will be the largest among the three categories, and eat to the point where you will not feel hungry. Among them, mushrooms are not only rich in dietary fiber and low in calories, which help accelerate intestinal peristalsis, but can also help the body excrete excess waste, sodium ions, and long-accumulated stool toxins, achieving the dual benefits of enhancing immunity and losing weight.

2. Supplementing protein will not make you fat easily

The next step is to eat "protein" foods such as meat, fish, and soy. Protein is less likely to be used as a priority calorie in the body, which can avoid nutritional imbalance during weight loss and the resulting sallow complexion and thin body. It is easier to feel full when paired with carbohydrates. Therefore, eating more protein first will make you less likely to gain weight than eating a lot of carbohydrates or fats right from the start.

3. It’s best to eat whole grain carbohydrates last

Rice, noodles, and root vegetables are rich in carbohydrates. Excessive intake will form body fat. Therefore, it is best to choose rough, less processed whole grains, which will easily make you full after eating and will not cause a sudden increase in blood sugar. And usually after eating the first two ingredients, the carbohydrate intake will not be too much!
