Nowadays, the intake of carbohydrates is generally very low in the recipes posted by many people who lose weight; on social platforms, many bloggers also post the way to lose weight by reducing the intake of carbohydrates

"Carbohydrates are not the 'enemy' of weight loss, but a helper

Long-term insufficient carbohydrate intake can also lead to hair loss, endocrine disorders, depression and other problems

Zhou Yan said that in general, only excessive intake of carbohydrates will affect weight loss

The "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2022)" recommends that a healthy adult should consume 50%-60% of the carbohydrate energy supply ratio, and each person should consume 200-300 grams of cereals per day, including whole grains and miscellaneous foods.

Carbohydrates can not only provide energy for the human body, most of the B vitamins are also provided by grains, and the energy supply of carbohydrates is relatively direct, and you will have strength after eating

For a more intuitive representation of the food ingested and its energy, a food exchange serving can be used interchangeably

Zhou Yan reminded consumers that no matter what kind of diet is used, the most important thing is to balance the dietary structure, so as to match the thickness, meat and vegetables
