Tet Holiday Meals often include high-calorie dishes that can lead to weight gain. However, incorporating these specific foods into your Tet menu will completely eliminate any worries about gaining weight.
Below are the miraculous weight-loss foods you should add to your Tet menu. Let’s explore them together!
1 Cucumber
Cucumber
Cucumber is a daily staple in many Vietnamese households, often used for skin care and maintaining a slim figure.
Additionally, studies show that cucumbers are 90% water and rich in B vitamins such as B1, B2, B5, B6, vitamin C, and folic acid. Their low-calorie content means snacking on 1 to 2 cucumbers can aid in weight loss or complement a diet of eggs, fish, and nuts.
2 Sponge Gourd
Sponge Gourd
Rich in vitamin C, glucose, and calcium, sponge gourd helps reduce cravings for snacks and supports overall health.
During Tet, consuming 200ml of sponge gourd soup or juice daily ensures safe weight loss. Both the soup and juice are nutritious, low in calories, and effective for shedding pounds.
3 Broccoli
Broccoli
Broccoli is undeniably beneficial for health, packed with vitamins A, C, E, fiber, and low calories, making it an effective weight-loss aid during Tet.
Enjoy it in a chicken broccoli salad or simply steamed for a delicious and slimming meal.
4 Soybeans
Soybeans
Soybeans are high in protein, fiber, and low in calories, making tofu or soy milk excellent choices for weight loss.
Additionally, soybeans cool the body, detoxify, enhance skin health, and protect the cardiovascular system. For a Tet feast without weight gain worries, try braised tofu or stewed tofu for vegetarian dishes, or mix into salads for a tasty and nutritious option.
5 Black Beans
Black Beans
According to U.S. research, black beans are rich in protein and vitamins, particularly anthocyanin, a powerful antioxidant. Darker beans contain 10 times more anthocyanin than oranges, grapes, or berries.
Black beans also stabilize blood sugar, support heart health, and provide iron, manganese, vitamin C, and B2, boosting immunity and aiding height growth. Their low sugar and calorie content makes them ideal for weight loss.
During Tet, enjoy black bean sweet soup, black bean salad, or cook them with brown rice for a refreshing and slimming treat.
6 Grapefruit
Grapefruit
Grapefruit is rich in phytochemicals, compounds that burn fat, helping to reduce cravings and burn calories without compromising health.
Beyond weight loss, grapefruit is high in water, vitamin C, boosts immunity, enhances skin health, and reduces excess fat for a slimmer figure. Enjoy it peeled, as segments, or juiced for a refreshing and slimming drink.
Above are the health-boosting foods to include in your Tet menu, ensuring delicious meals without weight gain worries.
