Is it "difficult to lose weight" even if you don't drink hand-shaken drinks or eat cakes? Nutritionist's answer: Be careful of accidentally entering the 6 "sugar trap diets"
Is it still “difficult to lose weight” even if I don’t drink with hand-shaken drinks and eat cakes? If the total sugar content is not less than “this number”, it may be a waste of workmanship.
If you want to maintain health or reduce body fat, most people may first think of reducing their intake of “refined sugar”. However, even though the food around us seems to have no added sugar, in fact there are cases where too much refined sugar is added. Nutritionist Yu Zhuqing appealed to the public in a social post that the sugar content of food affects its own GI value. Dietary recommendations should control the intake of “total sugar” and avoid eating too much sugar.
Nutritionist Yu Zhuqing gives an example. Fruits are rich in fructose, and dairy products such as milk contain natural lactose. Starchy plants such as corn and sweet potatoes also contain quantitative sugars. Excessive intake may easily affect blood sugar fluctuations. Therefore, it is recommended to control the total sugar content within 10% of the total calories. Taking an adult’s daily intake of 2,000 calories as an example, the total daily sugar content needs to be less than 200 calories (about 50 grams), that is, If you drink a full-sugar drink, you’ll be over the limit.
“No matter how much sugar you choose in a hand-shaken drink, there is a concern that the calories will exceed the standard. During the period of weight loss, people must remember that sugary drinks are definitely the biggest “NG food”, and they must avoid excessive consumption!”
Avoid fresh juices, dairy products, and snacks! Nutritionists urge: 6 “hidden” sugar traps to avoid
Nutritionist Yu Zhuqing emphasized that in addition to drinking less hand-shaken drinks and eating less sugary exquisite desserts, you should also avoid “hidden versions” of sugar trap foods in your life, especially the following “6 categories” of foods, which are helpful when losing weight. Even more consciously eat less:
Processed food. Such as sweet and spicy, fish balls, sausages, ham, meat floss, meat paper, etc., in order to have a better taste during the production process, a certain amount of refined sugar will be added.
Certain drinks. For example, “fresh fruit juice” commonly seen on night market vendors may be easily thought of as a natural, unprocessed drink. However, the fructose content of 1 cup of fresh fruit juice may exceed the recommended daily intake of 2 servings of fruit; not to mention exceeding the recommended daily intake of 2 servings of fruit. Canned juices and sports drinks that are readily available in stores may have higher calories after processing.
In addition, longan and red date tea, brown sugar ginger tea, Siwuyin or ginseng drink may appear to be healthy, but in fact they also add too much refined sugar to counteract the bitter taste of Chinese medicinal materials. People should pay special attention to their intake.
Traditional snacks. Refined sugar is also added to meat soup and noodle soup that are popular in Taiwan. If you add soup base thickened with cornstarch and eat more than 2 meals a day, the total calories and total sugar content will easily exceed the standard.
Braised/smoked meats. Among all kinds of snacks, it is obvious that there is added sugar, such as braised pork, braised pig’s feet, smoked meat, braised or honey-flavored meat, etc., so it is even more important to consume them in a controlled manner.
Sauces. For example, soy sauce paste, ketchup, salad dressing or mirin will add refined sugar to add flavor.
Dairy products. For example, fresh milk, yogurt, and yogurt contain natural lactose; if refined sugar is added for seasoning, the calories will be higher, which will affect weight loss.
Finally, nutritionist Yu Zhuqing reminded the public that they should be aware of their daily total sugar intake. Before consuming sweets or large meals, you must clearly understand how much sugar you have consumed. In addition to reading the nutrition labels on the packaging, you may also consult a nutritionist or physician in a timely manner to avoid eating too many “hidden” sugary foods. hinder the weight loss process.
