What do people with spleen deficiency and obesity eat to reduce fat

People with spleen deficiency and obesity are suitable for choosing low-fat meals that strengthen the spleen and dissolve dampness. Recommended ingredients include yam, Job's tears, red beans, winter melon, crucian carp, etc. The cooking method is mainly steaming and stewing to avoid being raw, cold, and greasy.

1. Spleen strengthening staple food:

Choose digestible coarse grains as the base of staple food, such as millet, brown rice and yam Congee. Yam is rich in amylase and polyphenol oxidase, which can promote digestion and absorption in the spleen and stomach; Job's tears and red beans Congee can make water seep wet and improve the puffiness caused by spleen deficiency and wet weight. Daily staple food should be controlled at 150-200 grams, combined with Poria cocos powder or Euryale powder to enhance the spleen strengthening effect.

2. High quality protein:

Priority should be given to using mild and neutral meat such as crucian carp, chicken, and duck. Carp tofu soup can nourish the spleen and promote water retention, while chicken meat is rich in high-quality protein and low in fat content. Adding spices such as tangerine peel and sand kernels during cooking can not only remove fishy odors but also enhance the digestive function of the spleen and stomach. The recommended protein intake for each meal is palm sized portions.

3. Seasonal vegetables:

Choose water-saving vegetables such as winter melon, loofah, and white radish, as well as mushrooms such as shiitake mushrooms and monkey head mushrooms. Winter melon contains succinic acid, which can inhibit the conversion of sugars into fats, while mustard oil in white radish promotes intestinal peristalsis. The daily intake of vegetables should be over 300 grams, and the nutrition should be preserved by blanching or stir frying.

4. Warm fruits:

Eat moderate amounts of warm fruits such as apples, oranges, and longan, and avoid cold varieties such as bananas and watermelons. Apple pectin can adsorb intestinal oils, while longan and jujube tea can nourish the heart and spleen. Fruit intake should be controlled within 200 grams per day, and the best time to consume is 1 hour after meals.

5. Tonic Diet matching:

Astragalus, atractylodes macrocephala, Codonopsis pilosula and other medicinal and food homologous materials can be added to the meals. Huangqi Jiyu Tang can nourish qi and invigorate spleen, while Sishen Tang with Poria cocos, Lotus seeds, Gallbladder seeds, and Yam helps regulate spleen and stomach function. It is recommended to take Tonic Diet 2-3 times a week, and the dosage of medicinal materials should not exceed 10 grams each time.

Fat reducing meals for individuals with spleen deficiency and obesity should follow the principle of "adjusting three parts and nourishing seven parts", and maintain a regular diet for a long time. It is advisable to eat warm Congee for breakfast at 7-9 o'clock when the spleen meridian is in season. The proportion of protein should be properly increased for lunch. Dinner should be completed before 19 o'clock and the main food quantity should be reduced. Cooperate with the Eight Section Brocade, take a walk at a steady temperature, and exercise to avoid strenuous exercise that consumes energy. Daily consumption of tangerine peel and hawthorn tea can assist digestion, and sleep should be ensured before 23:00 to nourish the spleen and stomach.
