However, many people make mistakes when using beans to lose weight, causing the weight loss effect to not be as expected, even harmful to health.
One of the common mistakes is to just eat beans to completely replace main meals. According to the World Health Organization, to lose weight effectively, the body needs to be fully provided with protein, good fats and essential vitamins. Meanwhile, beans contain almost no protein or fat, so eating only beans will cause nutritional deficiencies, reduce lean muscle and cause metabolic disorders.
The second mistake is eating too many beans during the day in the hope of getting full for a long time. According to nutritionists, foods with a low glycemic index and rich in fiber can actually help with weight control. Although beans contain a certain amount of fiber (about 1.8g/100g), it is not enough to create a feeling of fullness if not combined with foods rich in protein and healthy fats.
Another mistake is eating the whole toad without carefully peeled or eating it raw without ensuring hygiene. Bean peel contains rotenone - a natural poison that can cause mild poisoning if eaten. Rotenone can cause cellulose respiratory inhibition in humans if accumulated for a long time.
Bean sprouts are a good weight loss support food if used properly - such as being eaten with protein-rich dishes, not completely replacing main meals and ensuring hygiene when preparing. Common mistakes when abusing beans not only reduce weight loss.
