Slimming Light Meal A+B Papaya Milk Jelly for a Slimming Life

If you put in some thought, you don’t have to starve yourself to lose weight! As the weather gets hotter, more and more women are resorting to drastic dieting to lose weight, often resulting in malnutrition and illness. Nutritionists remind us that diet for weight loss should first be nutritionally balanced, especially vitamins A and B group, which have the effect of inhibiting fat formation and burning fat. Make good use of foods such as papaya and carrots to make light meals, and you can happily lose weight by eating simply.

Papaya is rich in vitamin A, which can inhibit fat formation and help people who want to lose weight control their weight.

Vitamin A inhibits fat and Vitamin B burns fat

Lin Ruiyuan, a nutritionist at Daqian General Hospital, said that vitamin A can participate in the metabolism of fat cells, and its concentration will affect the differentiation of fat cells. When the concentration in the body is high, it helps to inhibit fat synthesis; on the contrary, when the concentration in the body is low, it will promote fat synthesis.

It can be seen from this that vitamin A is an important nutrient that is absolutely indispensable in a weight loss diet. Common representative foods include meat, eggs, animal liver, dark leafy vegetables, carrots, papaya, mango, sweet potato and citrus, but they need to be eaten with a little oil to help the body absorb them better.

Vitamin B group includes vitamin B1, B2, niacin, B6, folic acid, B12, pantothenic acid and biotin. Among them, vitamin B2, niacin and vitamin B6 can promote lipid metabolism, burn fat and avoid fat accumulation. Representative foods of group B include brown rice, pork, liver, egg yolks, beans, cereals, milk, peanuts, celery and yeast.

The little blessing of losing weight! DIY Refreshing Light Meals

In the humid and hot season, if you don’t want to starve to lose weight, adding refreshing and high-fiber light meals to the weight loss menu is also a good idea. Nutritionist Lin Ruiyuan uses papaya and carrots rich in vitamin A, and milk and yogurt rich in vitamin B group, to design two low-calorie, high-fiber light meals as the focus of weight loss. They can increase satiety and the little happiness in the weight loss process, while also beautifying the skin, killing two birds with one stone.

Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which is a fat-soluble nutrient and should be eaten with a small amount of oil to increase the body's absorption rate.

Vitamin A and B group have different properties, so be careful when supplementing them in large quantities

Vitamin A and B complex have many health benefits, but the more the better! Nutritionist Lin Ruiyuan reminds us that vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that is not easily excreted from the body. There is no risk of poisoning when taking vitamin A through natural foods and daily diet, but when using high-dose supplements, you must be aware of the risk of overdose. The upper limit of vitamin A intake for general adults is 3000 μg RE per day.

As for the B vitamins, they are water-soluble vitamins. If you eat too much or in excess in a short period of time, they will be excreted from the body with urine. Therefore, in addition to obtaining them from natural foods, people who take nutritional supplements only need to supplement them in a certain amount every day. It is particularly important to note that long-term stress or smoking, drinking, and staying up late will accelerate the loss of B vitamins in the body, affecting physiological metabolism and leading to obesity.
