In fact, drinking yogurt can both "lose weight" and "gain weight", the key depends on the way you drink.
First of all, we must know why people gain weight, and the fundamental reason why people gain weight is that the energy ingested is greater than the energy consumed. In general, the mechanism of fat production in the human body determines that in the case of consuming more energy than expending energy, we will slowly become fat.
So what kind of drink is yogurt? Yogurt is made of milk after fermentation, in the fermentation process, yogurt in the sugar, protein will be about twenty percent of the hydrolyzed into small molecules (such as galactose and lactic acid, small peptide chains and amino acids, etc.), after fermentation, yogurt fat content is generally about four percent. After fermentation, the fatty acids in yogurt can be tripled compared to raw milk.
So what does fermented yogurt do? The fermentation reaction makes yogurt easier for the body to digest and absorb, and the utilization of various nutrients is improved. In addition to retaining all the nutrients of milk, in the fermentation process, the lactic acid bacteria in yogurt can also produce many kinds of vitamins necessary for the human body, such as vitamin B6 and vitamin B12.
Why is it said that drinking yogurt can "lose weight"?
Because drinking yogurt has probiotics, it helps gastrointestinal peristalsis, thereby promoting bowel movements and reducing weight [1]. If you want to achieve better weight loss results, it is best to choose low-fat yogurt.
Why is it said that drinking yogurt can "fatten"?
There are two situations that may lead to "fattening": one is that they think that drinking yogurt can lose weight, so eating is more unrestrained, overeating, so it is completely impossible to lose weight, and the other situation is that they think that drinking yogurt can lose weight, so drink too much yogurt, but we know that yogurt also contains calories, which eventually leads to excessive calorie intake and gain weight.
How many bottles of low-fat yogurt can be drunk that day to achieve weight loss?
The answer is a bottle.
A bottle of low-fat yogurt has only about 320 calories, which is much less than the normal people's daily intake of about 2,000 calories, so don't worry about how many calories this bottle of yogurt will add. However, it is not scientific to rely only on drinking yogurt to lose weight, because this will not only reduce metabolism when returning to a normal diet, but also lead to unbalanced nutritional intake, which is not good for health and weight loss.
Can yogurt be drunk every day?
Of course not, don't think that yogurt can lose weight, so replace your meal with yogurt. On the one hand, drinking too much yogurt at a time will lead to too much stomach acid, which will affect the secretion of our gastric mucosa and digestive enzymes, which in turn will lead to a decrease in appetite, on the other hand, yogurt also contains calories, drinking too much will gain weight.
When is it appropriate to drink yogurt?
Drink yogurt can choose to drink in the evening. Generally in the evening we will be lazier after eating, less exercise, unlike the day after eating will go to work or do other things, long-term past, generally lead to eating too much at night, and the amount of exercise is too little, that is, will lead to the intake of energy can not be fully consumed, long-term so it will cause obesity, so the general weight loss of people have to eat less at night. At the same time, if people who lose weight want to avoid insufficient energy intake at night, they can choose to drink a bottle of low-fat yogurt after dinner, which can both increase satiety and reduce energy intake.
