　　1. Can Pu ‘er tea and green tea lose weight?

　　If drinking Pu ‘er tea and green tea can reduce weight, it is estimated that Chaoshan area is thin, but it is not.

　　Tea contains a lot of tea polyphenols, catechins and some trace elements, which is a very healthy drink and can protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. A small amount of caffeine in tea plays a role in improving metabolism. It is really good to drink tea during weight loss, but it is not recommended to buy tea polyphenols products to lose weight in the market.

　　2. Can coffee reduce weight?

　　If sugar or cream is added to coffee, the calories are not low, and even black coffee without sugar can only temporarily improve metabolism.

　　3. Can enzymes lose weight?

　　Enzymes are actually enzymes, and good quality enzymes have a good effect on regulating intestines, such as constipation. Then why do many people feel that they have lost weight after eating enzymes? Because after the intestines are healthy, more intestinal waste will be excreted. There will be some garbage left in our intestines. If there is more garbage, you will naturally lose a few pounds.

　　Moreover, when you drink enzymes, the merchants will ask you to cooperate and eat less food. The total calories are reduced, and the weight loss is normal, just taking advantage of the deficit of total calories.

　　4. Can you use food to lose weight?

　　Generally speaking, if you lose weight through diet, you will lose weight all over, and you will not lose weight alone. But the body is like a very precise instrument. If you have more fat on your waist, it will tend to lose more fat on your waist.

　　However, if you have a need for local shaping, it is still recommended that in addition to diet and the guidance of sports coaches, the effect will be better.

　　5. Can you eat spicy food to lose weight?

　　In fact, the heat of pepper is not high, and it can also accelerate metabolism. But why do so many friends still ask? That’s because most foods with Chili peppers are accompanied by a lot of oil.

　　For example, Sichuan hot pot and Hunan cuisine are typical representatives. Pepper is not the problem, oil is the reason.

　　6. What should I do if I lose weight during the physiological period?

　　First, don’t eat spicy food, and secondly, don’t eat cold food, such as lemon, watermelon, pear, etc.

　　Menstruation needs more nutrients such as protein and iron, which can increase the proportion of red meat and animal blood;

　　Dairy products, laver, bean products, kelp and other foods help to increase the intake of nutrients such as calcium and magnesium and relieve dysmenorrhea.

　　7. Will losing weight lead to hair loss? What should I do?

　　Improper weight loss can really cause hair loss.

　　Second, insufficient intake of protein can also cause hair loss. When protein deficiency is serious, hair will become thin and dry. Increase the intake of meat, eggs and milk beans.

　　Third, trace elements such as manganese and zinc are insufficient. Meat and nuts are good sources of trace elements. Insufficient calcium intake, fat metabolism is more than usual during weight loss, and more ketone bodies are produced, which requires calcium ions to balance.

　　In order to avoid hair loss, usually eat more dairy products and soy products, and pay extra attention to supplementing vitamins and minerals during weight loss.

　　8. Can you recommend some diet food?

　　In fact, there is no absolute diet food, and there is no "negative calorie food". For example, cucumber is low in calories, but it is far from enough to consider calories only. It is more difficult to lose weight after malnutrition.

　　Have a full lunch. The quantity of protein should be matched with vegetables reasonably. Eat less or avoid high-fat food.

　　Eat less for dinner. Choose light foods with high dietary fiber content, such as vegetables, soups and porridge. Staple food can be reduced appropriately.

　　10. What foods are absolutely inedible?

　　Unless you are sick, there is no food that you must not eat. Just because of losing weight, it is not recommended to eat some foods with high calories or too fast sugar rise. The details are as follows: animal skins, fat meat, frying, cakes, bread, drinks, candy, wine, excessive salad dressing, greasy hot pot sauce, thick soup, etc.

　　11. Why do you get fat when you drink?

　　First of all, among all the nutrients, three productivity nutrients (protein, carbohydrate and fat) can provide energy. Where 1g protein =4kcal, 1g carbohydrate =4kcal and 1g fat =9kcal. However, each gram of ethanol produces 7kcal of heat, second only to fat.

　　Secondly, alcohol metabolism needs to pass through the liver, and the metabolism of the liver is slow, so fat is naturally easier to accumulate.

　　12. Are there any ways to reduce appetite?

　　You can use some tips to reduce your desire for food. For example, drink a glass of water and soup half an hour before meals.

　　Animal skin. Everyone knows to eat less fat, but animal skins are often easily overlooked. In fact, animal skins contain higher fat content.
