With a crust made from sticky rice flour, green bean filling, lotus seeds or mixed ingredients combined with a fairly high amount of sugar and fat, sticky rice cake can provide a lot of energy in just a small serving. This makes many people worried that eating sticky rice cake will hinder the weight loss process.
In fact, if you know how to choose and use them reasonably, housewives can still include sticky rice cakes in the menu without significantly affecting their weight control goals.
The first important thing is to control the portion size. Instead of eating the whole cake at once, each person should only use about a quarter to half of the cake, depending on the size and energy needs. Subdividing portions helps reduce calorie intake but still enjoy the characteristic flavor of the cake.
In addition, you should eat sticky rice cakes in snacks or after main meals in moderation, instead of eating late at night. Once you have eaten cakes, you need to reduce the amount of rice, bread or starchy foods in your meals to avoid total energy exceeding the body's needs. At the same time, you should combine cakes with unsweetened tea or filtered water instead of sugary drinks to limit excess calories.
Choosing the type of cake is also a factor worth paying attention to. Currently, many products reduce the amount of sugar, reduce fat or use fiber-rich ingredients, which are more suitable for people who are controlling their weight. However, housewives still need to read the nutritional composition carefully and should not be subjective because even low-sugar cakes can still contain a lot of energy.
In addition to diet, maintaining daily exercise also contributes to balancing energy and supporting the weight loss process. Walking, cycling or exercising for about 30-45 minutes each day will help the body consume calories from favorite foods.
Sticky rice cake is not an "enemy" of weight loss people if used properly. Controlling portion sizes, choosing reasonable eating times, and balancing the menu are ways housewives help family members both enjoy sticky rice cake, protect their health and maintain their figure.
