Tip: nutritious frozen foods can reduce weight

Illinois university researchers say, for dieters diet for, food volume is also one of the factors that influence the effect reducing weight. A nutritious frozen food consumption is convenient, can serve as control food volume method.

In the university food science laboratory work of the nutrition experts to two dietary solutions were compared, the first kind of eating plan participants, edible oneself according to "nutrition pyramid" for guide and prepare food. The second kind of eating plan participants, daily consumption of packaged frozen food as the main meal, and in accordance with the "nutrition pyramid" configuration auxiliary dishes. Two kinds of diet contains every 1700 calories and the same amount of carbohydrate, protein and fat.

Before starting the experiment, the two groups report daily intake about 2,400 card; Participants weigh about 97 kilograms, body mass index (BMI) range in 26 to 42 between, belong to overweight or obese people.

During the eight weeks dietotherapy process, all subjects have reduced their daily calorie intake, reached seventeen card, and thus to lose weight. But compared with the first group of subjects (only lose 5.1 kg), adopt packing frozen staple of the second group were lost more weight, achieve 7.4 kilograms, an aerage body-mass index also more than the former reduced a unit.

For such a result, researchers think that eating processed the frozen staple food, each part of nutrients collocation facilitates control regulation, and prepared the staple food, requires oneself in cooking pay attention to choose collocation, actually so difficult to accurately according to "nutrition pyramid" requirements well, more error prone.

As for whether the participants can maintain existing weight, depending on whether they will be able to maintain this kind of scientific eating plan.
