Weight Loss: No-white food diet and what should you eat for-Health Education-Health and Hygiene
Important 10 tips to remember to lose weight
1-White pasta
Ans: Pasta that is
made out of refined flour also offers similar problems to the use of white
bread. However, choosing brown pasta or pasta that is made with ingredients
other than the refined ones will be a healthier choice.
2-White potatoes
Ans: These are one
such item on this list that is not inherently unhealthy. In fact, they provide
the human body with various nutrients like potassium, fiber and vitamin C and
are majorly good for health. But the way they are prepared is what causes the
real danger. Potatoes are generally had in forms of fries or mashed potatoes.
Unhealthy preparation is the main reason behind avoiding them as much as
possible. If you still wish to have potatoes in your diet, you can boil them
and then use them. This step removed extra starch from them keeping intact the
other nutrients. Adding other more colorful vegetables to your diet would also
be a good idea.
3-What are white
foods?
Ans: The world is
dealing with new health problems each day and a lot of them are related to
either being obese or being overweight. Obesity is one such problem that the
whole world has in common. New diet and exercise routines are flowing
frequently and we have witnessed various kinds of diet trends. One of them is
the No White Food diet. White foods are generally the foods that are white in color
and are refined or processed to obtain the final product. For example,
all-purpose flour, white rice, white sugar, etc. The process of refining these
foods strips away the fiber that these foods originally contain and we are left
with a product that can be used but causes almost zero benefits to our body.
4-What is the No-White-Food Diet?
Ans: Among many other
diet trends, this one emerged eliminating the ‘white’ in our food. According to
this diet, eliminating white processed foods can help you lose weight as they
are higher in carbs and contain lesser nutrients than other foods. We have all
heard experts talking about how adding a rainbow in your diet can be supremely
beneficial for your health. Colored foods are considered necessary for the
proper and healthy growth of the human body. This diet strictly excludes white
rice, white sugar, white salt, white pasta, animal fat and also white bread.
5-Are all whites bad?
Ans: Not all whites
are bad and banned from this diet. Foods such as turnip, radish or even egg whites
that are naturally white are not banned from this diet. Apart from the diet,
these foods are healthy because they are not ripped off of their nutrients and
the essential fibers. Here is a list of white foods that you can avoid and
their replacements.
6-White sugar
Ans: Along with white
sugar, the No-White-Food diet also discourages the use of other variants of it
like brown sugar and honey. Research shows that other than adding extra
calories to food, these sugars are not really giving any nutritional benefit to
our bodies. Instead, it is advised to consume more fruits as they contain
natural sugar and apart from that, fruits are also higher in nutrition than
most forms of sugar.
7-White bread
Ans: Another
important ingredient, the white bread lacks the important nutrients and fibers
that are essential for a healthy body. In the refining process, the bran and
the germ are separated which leaves the white flour used in making the white
bread almost useless. Other products made with white flour like pastries,
cereals, etc are also high in carbs but not in nutrition. Using bread made with
whole-wheat flour or multigrain flour instead would be a better choice.
8-White rice
Ans: White rice falls
under the category of refined grains. It starts as a whole grain but then it is
tripped off of germs and bran which transforms it into a starchy, fluffy grain
that we get as the final product. Although white rice is not completely bad for
health, it is higher in carbs than it other available variants like brown rice.
Brown rice is relatively healthier than the white because their fiber content
remains intact.
9-Some kinds of animal fat
Ans: We didn’t
include all dairy products in the list as most of them have been proved very
healthy like yoghurt and milk but it is still advised to use the fat-free
versions of them. However, certain animal fat like ghee, butter, etc. must be
used less in quantities because they have way too many calories which can cause
bad effect on your heart and liver.
10-White salt
Ans: One of the most
used white foods is salt. It is not only added by us to the food that we are
cooking but is also found in canned products. Even though some amount of white
salt is necessary for human body as it fulfills the iodine requirements, too
much of it can also cause various health problems. It can have a bad effect on
your blood pressure which can also affect your kidneys. It can be replaced with
other varieties of salt like pink or black salt.
