Foods such as congee are less likely to cause weight gain. For weight loss, it is advisable to consistently engage in regular physical exercise, which not only improves overall physical fitness but also supports weight management. Additionally, incorporating more fresh vegetables and fruits into daily meals can aid gastrointestinal digestion and absorption, thereby facilitating weight loss. Furthermore, at dinner, it is recommended to limit intake of foods high in carbohydrates.
