A recent study by French scientists shows that choosing your diet based on food color can help with weight loss. When you see warm-colored foods like red, orange-yellow, and bright yellow, you should "hit the brakes" and eat a little less. When you see white, green, and black foods, you can choose to eat more of them. Green, white, and black foods are generally low in calories and help with weight loss. They are not only low in calories but also rich in dietary fiber. A recent study by French scientists shows that choosing your diet based on food color can help with weight loss.

Green foods mainly refer to various green vegetables, such as bamboo shoots, spinach, avocados, and cabbage, as well as olive oil. These foods are neutral in color and are not high in fat themselves, and they are rich in nutrients. Moreover, many people's moods can be easily affected during a weight loss period, and eating green foods helps to stabilize mood and reduce tension. Furthermore, green foods are rich and balanced in various nutrients, especially vitamins.
White foods have a certain inhibitory effect on appetite. White foods, such as radishes, tofu, milk, rice, noodles, and yogurt, adding some of these foods to your diet during a weight loss period helps to regulate vision and stabilize emotions, and is especially beneficial for weight loss patients with high blood pressure and heart disease.
Black foods, such as black sesame, walnuts, black fungus, reishi mushrooms, kelp, black fish, and silkie chicken, contain very few harmful components and have complete nutritional value. They can provide sufficient nutrition for people losing weight without burdening a weak body. They are especially recommended for those losing weight who suffer from arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease, or stroke.
Red and orange foods are the most appetite-stimulating and can make people eat a few more bites unconsciously, which can easily lead to obesity. Therefore, these colored foods are suitable as the color for breakfast during a weight loss period, giving a refreshing start to the day. But you should eat less of these foods for lunch and dinner. For example, when you see the bright red color of boiled fish, your appetite is greatly stimulated. Although eating fish won't make you fat, eating the chili will whet your appetite. With a better appetite, you will eat more of other foods, and fat will accumulate unconsciously.
In addition, meats can be divided into three categories by color: red meat, white meat, and colorless meat. People on a diet should preferably choose white meat and colorless meat. Colorless meat mainly refers to the meat of aquatic shellfish, such as clam meat, oysters, and crab meat. Their saturated fat content is lower than that of any other meat. They are rich in trace elements and are very easy for the body to digest and absorb. White meat, such as chicken, duck, goose, and fish, has lower fat content than red meat and is also a good source of protein.
Tips: The daily human requirement for these five categories of food increases in inverse proportion to the depth of their color. That is, the daily human need for white food is greater than for yellow food, which is greater than for red food, which is greater than for green food, which is greater than for black food. During a weight loss period, pay attention to combining foods of various colors according to this rule every day to balance your dietary nutrition and facilitate healthier weight loss.
