Yes, and the reason is not just about 'eating less'.
The staple foods (rice, noodles, miscellaneous grains, etc.) arecarbohydrateCarbon water is the main source of energy, and it is the core fuel for the human body to quickly obtain energy.

If you eat very little staple food, these situations may occur:

1. Large fluctuations in blood sugar levels

   • The carbohydrates provided by staple food are broken down into glucose, which enters the bloodstream for energy supply.

   • If there is too little staple food, blood sugar will drop rapidly, and the brain will feel "energy deficiency", which will trigger hunger.

2. Weak satiety signal

   • When eating staple foods, the secretion of insulin and intestinal hormones (such as GLP-1, PYY) can enhance satiety.

   • When the staple food is insufficient, these hormone signals are weak, and the body will "urge" you to continue looking for food.

3. Protein and fat are difficult to completely replace

   • Although protein and fat can also provide energy, their conversion efficiency is low, and the feeling of satiety comes slowly. In addition, when lacking carbohydrates, the body will use gluconeogenesis and fatty acid decomposition, which may lead to fatigue and emotional instability.

4. psychological level

   • Some people are accustomed to the taste and texture of staple foods (especially rice and noodles), and suddenly reducing the amount of staple food can make them feel "not full", even if they have enough calories, they still feel hungry.

If you want to eat less staple food without feeling hungry, you can try it：

• selectLow glycemic index (GI) staple foods(such as brown rice, oats, quinoa, whole wheat bread), delay blood sugar decline.

• Ensure sufficientProtein and healthy fats(Eggs, fish, lean meat, nuts, avocados, etc.), prolong satiety.

• Add to staple fooddietary fiber(Mixing mixed beans and vegetables) to slow down digestion and absorption.
