Can meal replacement foods really help you lose weight? Which brand of meal replacement foods is good?

Nowadays, many people are worried about losing weight. They say they don't have time to exercise, and they don't know how to eat properly. This is when meal replacement foods come into play. Although meal replacement foods are rich in nutrients, can they be used to lose weight? Which brand of meal replacement foods is better?

The correct consumption of meal replacement shakes can achieve the effect of weight loss, but if you want to lose weight, you cannot rely entirely on meal replacement products. It is better to use meal replacement shakes to replace part of the staple food. Before eating meal replacement products, you should read the instructions first, so that you can eat better. After eating meal replacement products, you should drink more water and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, so that your diet will be diversified and ensure the intake of nutrition.

First, black sesame paste

In the morning, I go to the company to make a cup of sesame paste. It tastes mellow, nutritious, warms the stomach, and is also very good for the hair. What I want to recommend to everyone is to find a place to grind black sesame, black beans, and black rice into powder according to the proportion. Generally, there are freshly ground ones locally. Don't add sugar to the freshly ground ones. Just add it according to your taste when you eat it.

Second, oatmeal

There are many kinds of oatmeal on the market, including raw, cooked, fruit, grain, etc. You can choose. Jimei likes fruit oatmeal very much. I have a cup of it every morning, which is really great with yogurt.

Third, red bean and barley powder

It is very good for girls and can also remove moisture from the body. It is very suitable for people who live in humid places. After work in the morning, a cup of warm red bean and barley warms the stomach. It tastes super good with pure milk.

Fourth, konjac flour

It is suitable for people who want to lose weight. It has a strong sense of fullness and is very low in calories. Drinking one cup a day can help you lose weight and fill your stomach. It is really the best choice.

5. Breakfast Cereals

For cereal snacks, soak them in a glass of milk and drink them. A good morning starts with cereals. There are so many types of breakfast cereals, you can just choose the one you like.

6. Soy milk

VV soy milk has been really delicious over the years. I have loved it since I was a child. A cup for breakfast will keep me energetic for the whole day.

In fact, you must eat a good breakfast, otherwise you will not have the energy to work. However, many working people practice Taoism at night, so they can’t get up in the morning and have no time to eat. In this case, choose some nutritious meal replacement products. Otherwise, skipping breakfast for a long time is really bad for your body.

As for brands, they are all pretty much the same, there is no particularly good or bad one.

On the surface, meal replacement is food that replaces part or all of a regular meal. Common forms of meal replacement include meal replacement powder, meal replacement bars, meal replacement shakes, and meal replacement porridge. They are known to be "natural, nutritious, and low in calories." In fact, meal replacement foods contain relatively simple nutrients and are seriously insufficient in calories. Long-term consumption can easily lead to nutritional imbalance and affect body functions. The satiety provided by meal replacement foods solves our hunger problem when controlling calorie intake, but if meal replacements are not used properly, they will lead us to another extreme of malnutrition or weight rebound.

Industry experts said that meal replacement powder was originally made by hospitals according to scientific proportions and then made into nutrient powder as enteral nutrition solution for patients. For young people who regard meal replacement food as a "weight loss tool", essential nutrients can only guarantee basic survival of the human body and are the lower limit of nutritional intake, and cannot meet certain special needs of the human body.

"Eating is not only to fill your stomach, but more importantly, it is to allow the body to obtain adequate nutrition and keep the human body functions in a healthy state." Zhu Yi, associate professor at the College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering of China Agricultural University, believes that a good meal replacement food formula usually has a comprehensive nutritional system, but many products on the market now do not meet this standard and the quality varies greatly; some meal replacement foods have a single nutritional value, and long-term consumption can easily lead to malnutrition.
