In addition to ensuring adequate exercise, diet is also a major key point in losing weight. However, many people cannot accept eating fat-reducing meals for a long time, which leads to some reduction in the effectiveness of weight loss. Therefore, in response to these phenomena, everyone has invented methods other than light fasting. So do you know what the specific method of light fasting is? Let’s take a look at the fitness recipes below!
What is the specific method of light fasting
Do light fasting for two days, seven days a week, and eat normally the rest of the time, but don"t eat big fish or meat, and don't eat high-calorie foods such as butter. Otherwise, all your efforts will be wasted. During these two days of light fasting, the daily caloric intake should generally not exceed 500 calories. Boys can have a higher limit of 700 calories. Caloric intake can be divided according to breakfast 30%, lunch 40%, and evening 30%.
Breakfast: polenta (38 kcal/100g), sugar-free soy milk (16 kcal/100g), egg protein (60 kcal/100g), sesame paste (96 kcal/g).
Lunch: Steamed egg with shrimps (91 kcal/100g), stir-fried mushrooms (61 kcal/100g), white rice (116 kcal/100g), mashed potatoes with green onion (119 kcal/100g)
Dinner: Luffa and pork soup (20 kcal/100g), meat slices and winter melon soup (27 kcal/100g), tomato and egg soup (13 kcal/100g), fish head and tofu soup (38 kcal/100g).
You can drink more soup for dinner. If you are not very hungry, it is not recommended to eat the meat in the soup. You can also have some carrot juice to supplement your vitamins.
Is the fasting method really good?
I can’t directly say whether it’s really good or not. The benefits and disadvantages of fasting are well understood by the public. Basically, as long as you master the correct fasting method, there are still benefits. exhaustAlthough the benefits of intermittent fasting have been confirmed by authorities, research on it still suffers from the small number of clinical trial samples, fast observation speed, and uncertain long-term effects (such as longevity, which will take a long time). observation). Intermittent fasting is a new dietary method, but many scientific research institutes still have considerable objections to its effectiveness, safety and side effects. In addition, eating too little on fasting days may also cause a sudden increase in appetite on non-fasting days, resulting in serious excess caloric intake, which will have a negative impact on weight loss.
