Weight loss has always been a problem that many people can’t help but find solutions for. Recently, in a Japanese nutrition program, 4 foods, if taken before meals, have the effect of losing weight, burning fat and improving metabolism.
1. Foods Containing Fucoxanthin
Foods containing fucoxanthin often have the effect of reducing visceral fat. For the organs of the body, it has a very good effect of “burning” excess fat.
The program also shows that its fat loss effect is equivalent to exercise. The principle of action of Fucoxanthin-containing foods is similar to an exercise for internal organs, which can minimize fat accumulation, increase weight loss efficiency.
Fucoxanthin is found in many types of brown seaweed, seaweed, Kombu seaweed… Also, you can choose seaweed because it has twice the fucoxanthin content than regular Kombu seaweed.
2. Cucumber
This show invited a chef named Kitzaki Nakazaki. He used to weigh 68 kg but successfully lost 11 kg in just two months. The Secret of Mr. Nangazaki is consistently eating cucumbers before every meal. Cucumber contains phospholipase which accelerates metabolism and burns fat. Eating cucumbers before meals can help eliminate and limit the absorption of fat.

At the same time, the chef also noted that cucumbers should be chewed 20 times or more to help better absorb phospholipase. It is also not recommended to cook cucumbers because after the thermal cooking process it will reduce the weight loss effect.
After 3 weeks of testing, Japanese artist Fukuda successfully lost a total of 2.5 kg without diet or exercise, and also reduced his waist circumference by up to 9.5 cm. The effect is very obvious.
3. Buckwheat (buckwheat)
Also in this program, the second chef, Hashimoto Maken, introduced a nut that must be eaten before meals to achieve the effect of losing weight – buckwheat. He ate buckwheat seeds for a month, successfully lost 9 kg without exercising or changing his eating habits.
Eating buckwheat seeds will produce bile acids in the body, this acid will help emulsify lipids, inhibit fat absorption and excretion, and prevent high blood pressure.
4. Yogurt mixed with onion
Yogurt contains a lot of probiotics, bifidus bacteria and lactobacillus casei. At the same time, the inulin contained in the onion is also released and produces short-chain fatty acids. This short-chain fatty acid can promote intestinal peristalsis, increase metabolism, inhibit fat absorption and suppress appetite.
Processing is very simple. Cut half an onion, mix it with 200 grams of yogurt and add half a teaspoon of salt to use. After processing, it can be stored in the freezer compartment, using about 50 grams per day.
A small caveat is using raw onions. Before cutting, you can soak it in water for 30 minutes to reduce the pungent taste of onions.
In addition, there are also users who add natto (fermented soybeans) to the above recipe to increase the effect. Because the mucin in natto when combined with yogurt can also create more short-chain fatty acids.
