Watermelon is a favorite fruit for many people in summer, because watermelon can relieve summer heat, diuresis and detumescence. However, some people often eat watermelon as a dinner, so the intake of calories will be very high, which is not good for weight loss. So next, let's look at what we should pay attention to when eating watermelon in summer with Sihai Xiaobian?
What you should pay attention to when eating watermelon:
1. Don't eat watermelon for dinner
More than 94% of watermelon is water, but its sugar content is also very high. Normal sweetness watermelon contains 5% sugar, so watermelon is very high in calories. The calorie of watermelon is 250 kcal / kg. That is to say, if you eat a large watermelon every day, it's about 8 to 10 jin, that's 1000 to 1250 kcal of calories, while an ordinary small bowl of rice has about 200 kcal of calories. In other words, eating a watermelon is equivalent to eating five or six bowls of rice.
In fact, watermelon itself can't be blamed for this, mainly because people eat too much in summer. If you eat watermelon according to the amount of an apple, it is not easy to produce obvious fattening effect. The same is true for beer. It seems that the energy of beer is relatively low in terms of 100 grams, but the energy of two bottles of beer (1500 grams) is equivalent to a bag of sliced toast (120 grams).
2. Don't eat watermelon for supper
Watermelon is rich in sugar. If you eat too much before going to bed at night, it will increase insulin and promote fat synthesis. Most of the body's newly synthesized fat is stored in the abdomen. In addition, the amount of exercise at night is reduced, so the fat is only stored without consumption. After a long time, the small belly grows.
Don't think that eating a watermelon as a snack can escape the fact that obesity, weight loss is not a loophole. Therefore, we should not eat midnight snack, even if you think it is not fat to eat food, just live through such a night.
3. Watermelon must not be full
Why do you usually eat a bowl of rice and feel full? If you eat more watermelon, you seldom feel full? Even if you have a full meal, you can eat a few watermelons, sometimes half a watermelon. Do we suddenly have a bigger appetite in the face of watermelon?
Watermelon is different from apple in that its sweetness mainly comes from fructose. The lower the temperature, the sweeter the fructose, which is the main reason why it is loved by all kinds of cool drinks. Studies have long found that although fructose does not significantly increase blood glucose, it also bypasses the mechanism of appetite control. In other words, drinking glucose water and sugar water will make people full, and drinking fructose drinks will not make people feel full.
