Why is the weight loss effect not ideal? Research has proven that in order to lose weight effectively, you need to eat the right "lectin" foods that are suitable for your blood type. This will benefit digestion and help you achieve weight loss results as fast as models!
Blood Type A: Sweet Potato Salad
Sweet potatoes are a magical remedy for weight loss. When cooked, some of the starch changes and increases the food fiber by about 40% compared to raw sweet potatoes. This effectively stimulates intestinal peristalsis and promotes bowel movements. In addition, the dietary fiber and pectin in sweet potatoes have a special function of preventing the conversion of sugar into fat. Furthermore, sweet potatoes only have one-third the calories of rice, and even lower when chilled. So, people with blood type A who want to lose weight can enjoy a delicious meal.
【Ingredients】
Sweet potatoes, mango, peanuts, sweet peppers, sweet onions, cilantro
【Instructions】
1. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes and mangoes (approximately 3 sweet potatoes to 1 mango). Slice the sweet peppers and onions into thin strips.
2. Arrange the ingredients from step 1 on a plate and drizzle with olive oil and lime juice. Sprinkle with cinnamon powder, cumin powder, and cardamom powder, then put it in the oven.
3. After removing the plate from the oven, let it cool naturally and gently stir to evenly distribute the temperature.
4. Sprinkle with peanuts and garnish with cilantro before serving.
【TIPS】
1. Make sure to steam or cook the sweet potatoes thoroughly, as the cell membrane of the starch in sweet potatoes is difficult to digest without high-temperature destruction.
2. To prevent bloating, soak the sweet potatoes in a small amount of saltwater for 10 minutes, then rinse with clean water twice before cooking.
Blood Type B: Mini Salad
Although people with blood type B are food lovers and generally have a diet that suits them, their volatile temperament and tendency to overeat can lead to obesity. Therefore, their diet should mainly consist of vegetables and fruits, with occasional consumption of seafood and nuts to enhance their mood. Additionally, this simple and easy-to-make salad is perfect for people with blood type B, who tend to be lazy.
【Ingredients】
Shrimp, orange flesh, mixed green leaf salad, walnut meat, olive oil, red onions, sherry vinegar
【Instructions】
1. Wash and drain the mixed green leaf salad. Peel and remove the pulp from the orange. Remove the back sand vein from the shrimp and stir-fry them quickly in olive oil.
2. Mix the above ingredients together and add olive oil, sherry vinegar, and chopped shallots. Mix well.
3. Sprinkle with steamed walnut meat before serving.
【TIPS】
To facilitate and thoroughly drain the water from the vegetables when making salad, I especially recommend a new tool called "vegetable spinner". Its working principle is similar to the spin-drying function of a washing machine. It is a mesh fruit basket placed in a bowl and rapidly rotated to quickly dry the vegetables. It can be purchased at IKEA and other stores.
Blood Type O: Pan-fried Tuna with Cabbage
Tuna is low in fat and calories, and contains high-quality protein and other nutrients. It is the ideal choice for easy weight loss for people with blood type O. When paired with digestion-promoting parsley, it not only helps maintain a slim figure but also balances the body's nutritional needs. Cabbage is rich in protein, low in sugar, and almost starch-free. Eating it raw can preserve more vitamins, making it the preferred food in the blood type O recipe.
【Ingredients】
Tuna, purple cabbage, pepper, parsley, cabbage
【Instructions】
1. Marinate fresh tuna with salt, pepper, and chopped fresh parsley overnight or longer.
2. Heat olive oil in a pan and quickly fry the tuna (no more than 1 minute). Then slice it thinly.
3. Shred the purple cabbage and cabbage in a 1:1 ratio. Add sugar, vinegar, sweet peppers, chopped cilantro, minced ginger, and scallions. Marinate for over an hour, then squeeze out the excess moisture. Add low-fat mayonnaise before serving.
【TIPS】
Parsley is not the same as celery. It is also known as cilantro. The leaves are rich in vitamin C and iron and can be used for garnishing dishes, making salads, and adding flavor to soups and other vegetable dishes.
Blood Type AB: Honey-glazed Salmon
People with blood type AB have the dual traits of blood types A and B, which makes them conflicted and prone to depression in their daily lives. Scientists have found that fish, especially deep-sea fish like salmon, not only benefit the heart but also improve mood and stabilize emotions. Eating more fish can reduce the tendency of people with blood type AB to overeat due to poor mood. "Honey-glazed salmon" is a "sugar-free and low-carb" cooking method that not only has weight loss benefits but also provides rich nutrition.
【Ingredients】
Salmon, organic baby potatoes, watermelon radish, red beets, pickled cucumbers, garlic mayonnaise, olive oil, lemon juice
【Instructions】
1. Slice fresh salmon thinly and marinate with crushed red beets, salt, and sugar overnight.
2. Boil and dice the organic baby potatoes. Dice the pickled cucumbers and watermelon radish, then mix them with the potatoes. Add garlic mayonnaise and mix well, making a potato salad.
3. Arrange the salmon slices into a flower shape on top of the potato salad. Mix finely chopped red onions and scallions with olive oil and lemon juice to make a dressing for dipping.
【TIPS】
1. If bottled garlic mayonnaise is not available in the supermarket, you can make it yourself by combining low-fat mayonnaise, garlic paste, olive oil, and lemon juice according to your taste.
2. Watermelon radish, also known as Chinese pickled radish, is a plant belonging to the horse chestnut family. It is usually not eaten alone but used as a seasoning for other dishes. Its spicy and fragrant taste can stimulate digestion and accelerate calorie burning. It is usually only available in imported supermarkets.
