01
What you're drinking is a bowl of carb bombs
Let's talk about the conclusion first --Drinking porridge doesn't make you lose weight; it only makes you fat faster.
The nutritional content of porridge is extremely single. Apart from being extremely high in carbohydrates, there are very few other nutrients. 100g of porridge contains about 9.58g of carbohydrates, only 1.11g of protein, and there are very few other nutrients.

Since nutrients have been mentioned, let's take protein as an example. What the average adult needs to consume every dayProtein is generally 0.8 to 1.0 grams per kilogram of body weight. In other words, if a person weighs 50 kg, the daily intake of protein is 40-50g. If you differentiate according to three meals a day, you need at least 10-20g of protein per meal.
Let's look down and take a look at this steaming bowl of porridge in our hands. Without comparison, there's no harm.
Various tissues (muscle, bone, skin, nerves, etc.) in the human body contain protein. The main component of all organs such as heart, liver, kidney, lung, etc. is protein, and the main component of muscle is protein.Protein as the “cornerstone” of lifeOnce ingested, problems such as hair loss, muscle relaxation, and decreased immunity are not as simple as losing weight or not losing weight.
This is why, in the past few years of the epidemic, when everyone was paying attention to nutritional supplements, Zhang Wenhong, director of the Infectious Diseases Department of Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, took the world by surprise and uttered such alarming words while attending a lecture on the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic: “The children in your family must eat foods high in nutrients and protein; they are not allowed to eat porridge in the morning.”

Want to try the feeling of a spike in blood sugar?
Porridge has a full starch gelatinization process during cooking. The higher the degree of gelatinization, the easier it is to be digested and absorbed by the human body. Corresponding,glycemic index (GI)It will also be higher.
Eating steamed rice can already cause blood sugar levels to rise rapidly. Drinking porridge is equivalent to further processing these macromolecules of sugar and gelatinizing them into smaller molecules. It turns out that what we drink is not porridge; what we drink is the “soul” of rice.

I am tormented by a sense of guilt, guilt, and hunger in turn, undermining my determination to lose weight. This kind of code that controls our appetite is what we often saySatiety Index (SI).
