What to eat and drink to lose weight? A quick search online shows that enzymes, slimming tea, and slimming packs are extremely popular. Do nutritionists recommend eating them to lose weight?

1. Enzymes

It is said that "the enzymes in enzymes can help break down fat", but the fact is: the main component of enzymes is protein, which cannot escape the fate of being broken down once eaten into the stomach and cannot enter the cells to break down fat.

As for other ingredients added to enzymes such as probiotics and prebiotics, although they are related to intestinal health, they have nothing to do with weight loss.

Moreover, enzymes are fermented from various fruits and vegetables and contain energy themselves. If you eat three meals as usual and drink extra enzymes, you will not lose weight.

If you really lose weight by drinking enzymes, it is either because you eat less or no other food at the same time and lose weight due to starvation; or you drink enzymes that do not meet hygiene standards and get diarrhea and lose weight.

2. Slimming tea

The most common ingredients in slimming tea are senna leaves and cassia seeds, both of which contain hydroxyanthraquinone derivatives that can irritate the intestines and cause diarrhea.

So if you lose weight by drinking slimming tea, it is most likely due to diarrhea, and the weight lost in diarrhea is not fat but water and feces.

What’s also scary is that some hydroxyanthraquinone derivatives can damage DNA, are genotoxic, and increase the risk of cancer.

So drinking slimming tea to lose weight may not only fail to reduce weight, but also increase health risks.

3. Slimming bag

No matter what’s in the bag, you can’t believe the claim that “sticking it on your belly button can help you lose weight”!

If there really is such a magical ingredient that can promote fat decomposition, wouldn't it be possible for it to enter the fat cells throughout the body faster if eaten directly? Why just stick it on the belly button?

How come people who wear slimming bags lose weight?

The reason is very simple. The people who sell slimming packs will give you a recipe. This recipe tells you to drink as little water as possible and to strictly control your staple food. This recipe controls both water and food intake, so you can lose weight without using slimming packs.

To summarize:

In fact, there is no product that can make people eat and drink as usual and still lose weight without doing any activity. There is no shortcut to losing weight. The only way is to control your diet and move your legs.
