Use the pear method to lose weight, but be careful as the chance of gaining weight again is high! Dr. Wu Yingrong reveals: Improved menu is more beneficial for weight loss

Pears are sweet and juicy. Since pears are low in calories and rich in nutritional value, they are one of the must-eat foods for many beauty-conscious women who want to lose weight. The pear weight loss method, which is said to help one lose 5 kg quickly in 2 weeks, has been widely circulated online and has been hotly discussed by netizens as it can reduce appetite. However, Dr. Wu Yingrong, a nutritionist, pointed out that this way of losing weight is not healthy. Not only will the body's basal metabolic rate decrease, but there is also a risk of nutritional imbalance and weight regain.

The pear weight loss method, which is widely circulated on the Internet, emphasizes that pears are rich in water, contain a large amount of vitamins and dietary fiber, which can help reduce appetite. Therefore, as long as you follow the recommended daily diet menu, you can quickly lose 5 kilograms in about 2 weeks. The following is the 1-day menu of the pear weight loss method that is popular on the Internet:

The one-day menu of the pear weight loss method widely circulated on the Internet

Breakfast: 1 pear, 1 boiled egg, 1 cup of salt water (about 250cc, 3-5 grams of salt).

Lunch: Eat normally, but only until you are 70% full.

Dinner: 1 pear, a plate of blanched vegetables, or a bowl of mixed vegetable soup (about 450c.c.).

Pear weight loss method reduces metabolism and easily leads to nutritional imbalance

Regarding this rumor, Dr. Wu Yingrong, a nutritionist, said that compared with other fruits, pears do have a lower sugar content, but there is currently no research showing that pears contain any ingredients that can suppress or reduce appetite. She believes that the main purpose of this diet is to control and reduce daily calorie intake by eating seasonal pears with a lower GI (not likely to cause blood sugar to rise quickly) and low-calorie foods for two meals a day, morning and evening, in order to achieve the goal of losing weight.

However, Dr. Wu Yingrong emphasized that the total calories that can be consumed by this diet are less than 1,000 calories. Not only can it not provide the nutrients needed for human activities, it will make the person losing weight feel weak and powerless, and it will easily lower the body's basal metabolic rate, making weight loss more difficult. Even if the weight is successfully lost, the chance of gaining weight again is relatively much higher.

Most importantly, this diet lacks sufficient intake of carbohydrates, a source of energy required for the normal functioning of the human body. If this regimen is maintained for 2 weeks, it may cause nutritional imbalance and other problems, so people are advised not to try it lightly.
