As it turns out, the Vietnamese dish known as pho is proving to be one of the ultimate weight loss meals going. As with anything though, if you don’t know what you’re doing with it, eating too much or the wrong variety can have the opposite effect on your health. Here are 11 tips on how to lose belly fat with pho. Don’t Sauce It Sauces are calories you don’t need. Whether it’s fish sauce, hoisin sauce, or other sodium-filled condiments, set them aside. A bowl of pho on its own is usually already pretty flavorful with its herbs and spices. Use Chopsticks To eat a bowl of pho, you have two options – spoon or chopsticks. The advantage of chopsticks are that they slow you down. You don’t pick up too much food at once. We tend to eat at a better-controlled pace with chopsticks. This will help your bodies absorb and store the nutrient content while also helping you feel full.
Pho is the perfect meal in a bowl. It helps to calm appetites, fills up the stomach, and provides energy. There’s nothing not to like about Vietnamese pho, especially if you’re looking to manage your weight. It is the ultimate healthy comfort food in Toronto, without the calories you’ll find in comparative meals. So convenient to order, you can have some delivered to your front door if you want within the hour in Toronto! Here are the top 6 reasons we love pho. 1 – It Plays A Trick on Your Stomach Despite the fact that pho is mostly broth, our stomach interprets it as a food rather than a drink. Why this is important is because drinks don’t tell to give us a sense of fullness. Food does. As a meal, pho is low-calorie yet makes our stomachs feel full enough to give us the sense that we consumed a larger meal than we actually did. Studies have also shown this helps reduce those pangs of hunger you may experience mid-afternoon. Do this enough times and you’ll begin to see how eating pho can impact you on a weight scale.
Pho is a healthy soup packed with flavor that’s sure to please anyone looking for a hot meal. That’s why pho in Toronto is so popular. It’s perhaps the best Vietnamese meal in the GTA anywhere, loved for its many unique tastes and characteristics. Something that’s understated around the consumption of pho is how good it can be for weight loss. What is Pho? Pho has a lot of lean ingredients, i.e. broth, spices and herbs, and veggies. Depending on the variety, it also can contain a fair bit of carbs and fat. So long as carbs and fats aren’t eaten in large quantities, these are manageable in a healthy diet. Is Pho Filling? Pho is a hearty dish. It’s filled to the brim of the bowl with a generous amount of broth, spices, noodles, and veggies. It’s a great appetite-killer in this sense. A single bowl will settle easy in the stomach and take care of any lingering hunger that would otherwise double-down a few hours later.
Winter in Toronto is a tough season. From unpredictable snowfalls to bone-chilling cold temperatures, getting to and from anywhere can leave a person shaking and trying to find warmth.
As a hot meal, not to mention its nutritional benefits, the broth is a favourite. Made from a mix of ingredients a la spices, brewed bones, and connective tissues, the result offers a long list of benefits.
Sheila Graham once said, “Food is the most primitive form of comfort.” Think back to your most precious winter memories. It might be the memory of biting into your mother’s freshly baked cookies with splashes of melted chocolate chunks as you sit by a fireplace watching the snow flutter against your window; or the scent of oregano and basil wafting from the kitchen as your grandma stirs a ladle through a rich ruby tomato emulsion.
