Essential knowledge for effective weight loss: How carbohydrate-rich foods affect weight loss results.

To avoid the excessive release of hormones that promote obesity, we need to control our intake of sugary foods.

First and foremost, we should avoid white sugary foods. White sugary foods refer to the sugary foods we commonly consume in our daily lives, such as crispy candies, soft and sweet cakes, delicious ice cream, sugary drinks, and women's favorites like milk tea, chocolate, and donuts, as well as snacks like dried fruit, potato chips, biscuits, and pastries. These common processed foods contain large amounts of sugar.

Secondly, it's not just these white sugary foods that trigger the excessive secretion of insulin; yellowish-white sugary foods also contribute. Yellowish-white sugary foods usually refer to foods rich in starch. Many people have a misconception about sugary foods, thinking that only foods with added sugar are truly sugary foods. However, starch is also a type of sugar. Although starchy foods don't taste as sweet as foods with added sugar, when starch enters the intestines and is digested by the body, it breaks down into glucose and enters the bloodstream.

Did you know? The amount of sugar produced from digesting 150 grams of white rice is more than the amount of sugar in a 240ml can of cola! So, it's not just sweet things that are sugary foods. Our common staple foods, such as rice, noodles, steamed buns, bread, pancakes, and porridge... although they don't taste sweet, these foods that appear on our dinner tables every day are all sugary foods.

In addition to the staple foods in our three daily meals, the desserts, milk tea, potato chips, and other snacks we eat also increase our sugar intake. This excess sugar consumed will be converted into fat and stored in the body. Therefore, reducing the intake of sugary foods that stimulate the excessive release of obesity-promoting hormones has become an essential step for people trying to lose weight.
