Như Hạ (T/H) |

Eggplant, okra, cucumber, lettuce or low-calorie green vegetables create a feeling of fullness for a long time, supporting effective weight control.

Broccoli

Green vegetables are rich in fiber and vitamin C, contributing to promoting fat metabolism. Sulforaphane compound in cruciferous vegetables also has the effect of reducing inflammation, supporting the digestive system to eliminate excess fat, helping the body feel lighter after days of eating a lot of protein and starch.

Popcorn

OKRA is rich in mucus and soluble fiber, supporting smooth bowel movement, stabilizing blood sugar and limiting fat accumulation. Boiled or steamed OKRA is a light snack, very suitable after the holidays.

Cucumber

Cucumbers are rich in water and fiber, which help fill the stomach without providing much energy. Thanks to that, you can easily control your diet and limit overeating. This fruit also supports digestive activities, reduces constipation and the feeling of bloating often experienced after long holidays.

Lettuce and salad vegetables

Lettuce, rocket, and young kale contain very little starch but a lot of water and fiber, which helps create a feeling of fullness quickly. Eating salad before main meals can help reduce the amount of starch and fat consumed during meals.

bell peppers

A medium-sized bell pepper (about 100 g) only contains about 9 grams of carbohydrates and nearly 3 grams of fiber, is almost fat-free and very low in calories. This vegetable does not increase fat storage, can be eaten raw or lightly stir-fried with olive oil. Bell peppers are also rich in vitamin C and compounds that support increased metabolism, helping the body burn energy more efficiently.

Broccoli

Broccoli is rich in fiber, vitamin C and antioxidant compounds, which help prolong fullness and support detoxification. This vegetable is low in starch, can be steamed, boiled or stir-fried quickly with a little oil to retain its nutritional value.

Tomatoes

Tomatoes can be used flexibly in salads, light stir-fries or eaten raw. The natural sweet and sour taste helps reduce cravings, prolonging fullness. In addition, tomatoes also provide water and many antioxidants, supporting the body to recover and lose weight healthily.

Eggplant

In 100g of cooked eggplant, there are more than 4 grams of fiber, which helps promote bowel movement and improve slow digestion. Eating eggplant at the beginning of a meal helps create a feeling of fullness early, thereby reducing calorie intake. After Tet, eggplant should be prioritized for steaming or grilling instead of frying to limit excess fat.
