Eat rice this way after it flowers and is harvested to lose weight, and you won't have to fear overindulging during the long holiday

This time last year, Shaoyao was on her way back to Hangzhou from out of town. She woke up from a nap on the train to a rice paddy flowing past the window. The green-tinged yellow rice seemed to carry a long-missed fragrance of rice.

October in Jiangnan is exactly the season when rice ripens: golden sunlight, golden rice grains, and the golden-bright smile of an old farmer. It suddenly occurred to her that after eating rice for decades, she had never introduced this plant that shares every day with us.

While writing about rice, the song "Rice Fragrance" also looped all day long. Using a familiar melody to sense a familiar flavor, sent to all you familiar readers~

Running with the Rice Fragrance

In a certain village in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there is a custom: when the rice ripens, the old and the young lie on the field ridges to listen to the sound of the rice growing.

What kind of sound is the rice growing? Some say it is like the fine trickle of water in the fields, some say it is like the rustle of wind through rice ears, and outsiders say they hear nothing at all. The locals still listen with delight. Perhaps what people care about is that calm, leisurely feeling of lying on the field ridge and smelling the fragrance of rice.

WaterRice is a plant of the grass family, a close relative of wheat and sorghum.Most people know rice seedlings and have seen rice ears, but they have never thought about what rice flowers actually look like.

The rice flower is very small,

a panicle-shaped inflorescence, running all the way down from the tip,

able to bear200~300 small rice-white flowers。

After pollination, the flowers form seeds, which become the rice ear.

After a summer of rainstorms and sun,

the rice ear turns from green to yellow,

and the fragrance of rice slowly drifts to the tip of the nose.

The golden, plump rice ears are harvested,

the rice grains are separated from the rice stalks,

and one rice ear is divided into individual grains of rice.

When the rice grain is husked, the rice is revealed~ The "rice" at this point is not the white rice we eat daily, but brown rice. Only after brown rice is further processed to remove the bran layer and germ does the remaining endosperm become the white rice we eat.

But in fact, the brown rice we throw away is far more nutritious than white rice.

An equal amount of brown rice has somewhat fewer carbohydrates than white rice, and brown rice's fiber is14 timesthat of white rice, vitamin B1 is12 timesthat of white rice, vitamin E is10 timesthat of white rice, phosphorus content is7 timesthat of white rice, niacin is3.2 timesthat of white rice, iron content is2.75 timesthat of white rice, and calcium content is1.7 times that of white rice.

Brown rice can accelerate intestinal peristalsis, prevent constipation, expel toxins from the body, and boost metabolism; secondly, it is highly satiating and has a low glycemic index, making it one of the best quality carbohydrates.

Regular consumption can also effectively improve the stomach and intestines, aid weight loss and slimming, and beautify the skin. Super GirlHe Jie also successfully lost 30 jin in 90 days by making brown rice her staple food.

However, although brown rice is highly nutritious, because of its coarse, hard texture, the long cooking time required, and the tendency to cause indigestion when eaten in large amounts, it has not replaced white rice as a staple food.

Grinding brown rice into powder perfectly avoids these problems.

Many fans of medicinal powders know that Shaoyao has a good friend, Sister Huachi, who loves brown rice powder. A while ago, we went to Chengdu and Yunnan and ate and drank to our hearts' content. Shaoyao gained several jin, but she lost it as soon as she came back, all because she ate brown rice powder.

Sister Huachi weighed 125 jin on July 15, and by August 5 she was 118 jin, losing a total of 7 jin in 22 days. In between, she still went out and ate and drank heavily twice, and of course she also did some exercise. It was not too hard to endure, and her weight kept dropping~

Knowing that you don't want to put on autumn weight, Shaoyao has gotten the brown rice powder weight-loss recipe~

"For brown rice powder, I generally use 50g at a time,

and the satiety it gives is equal to a bowl of rice.

Girls with small appetites can reduce the amount to 35-40g."

Let me share a little tip for mixing it:

First pour in warm water, then add the brown rice powder to absorb the water,

wait half a minute, then stir until even.

The brown rice paste made this way will be especially smooth.

Warm water blends better than cold water

If you want to drink it thicker, use a 1:4 ratio.

If you want it lighter, use a 1:6 ratio

Unlike other complicated diet methods, the three meals a day with brown rice powder can be done in just a few minutes!

Three meals a day

/ Breakfast /

1:5 brown rice paste + egg

In the morning, appetite is usually average. Mix up some brown rice paste and add an egg, and you have both carbohydrates and protein.

You can add a little sugar or honey to the brown rice paste to improve the taste. If you already really like the flavor of grains, then there is no need to add extra sugar~

/ Lunch /

1:4 brown rice paste + beef patty + green vegetables

At lunch, the brown rice powder is mixed a bit thicker, paired with meat (beef, chicken breast) and vegetables (green vegetables, broccoli). It is filling and satisfying to eat, and you are not shortchanging yourself at all.

/ Dinner /

1:6 brown rice paste + blueberries + grapefruit

There is no need to eat too much at dinner. Try to finish before 6 o'clock. Mix it thinner and pair it with fruits that are not so high in sugar. It is refreshing and filling.

In short, do not eat only brown rice paste. You should also take in an appropriate amount of protein and fiber, and especially eat more vegetables. Everyone can adjust according to taste.

Office snacks

For office workers, afternoon tea and late-night snacks are also two very important meals. Especially for friends who work overtime day and night, it is easy to get hungry. Apart from ordering takeout, is there no better choice?

With brown rice powder, all the little snacks disappear, and snacks also become nourishing and healthy. It can be said to be a weight-loss method that lets you lose weight without going hungry!

/ Brown rice milk /

200ml skim milk + 20g brown rice powder

Pour the milk into a cup,

add the brown rice powder little by little and stir until even.

Milk with the fragrance of grains,

so good you would not believe you are on a diet.

If you have milk powder, you can first mix hot milk,

then add the brown rice powder.

/ Brown rice fruit yogurt /

100ml sugar-free yogurt + 10g brown rice powder + fruit

First use 20ml of water to mix the brown rice powder into a paste,

and place it at the bottom of the bowl.

Then pour in the yogurt and add some fruit.

Give it a little stir,

and this bowl can probably beat a whole crowd of dessert shops on the market.

Whether eating at home, having a snack at the office, or traveling out. With brown rice powder, you can lose weight without going hungry!

There is quite a lot of brown rice powder on the market, but after buying it you will find problems such as it not being fresh, having absorbed moisture, lacking the fragrance of grains, and being hard to swallow.

What Shaoyao wants to recommend to everyone today is the one Sister Huachi is drinkingorganic brown rice powderA while ago, Sister Huachi opened her own group buy and it sold explosively! If we are going to lose weight, let's lose it together. What kind of good sister secretly loses weight all by herself?

And after this Golden Week, after everyone has eaten and drunk everywhere... emmmm, now is exactly the good time to stock up on this!
