Simple obesity refers to a condition in which body weight exceeds the standard weight by 20 percent, with fat distributed evenly throughout the body and normal endocrine function test results. While maintaining a regular exercise routine, it is essential to practice reasonable dietary restraint, control total calorie intake, avoid candy and sweets, and limit consumption of rich, fatty, and flavorful foods. Instead, consume more foods that help curb hunger without significantly increasing calorie intake, such as bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, straw mushrooms, lion’s mane mushrooms, black wood ear mushrooms, kelp, button mushrooms, winter melon, cucumber, lettuce, radishes, konjac, alfalfa, tea leaves, and rabbit meat. Fruits with a sour taste, such as hawthorn, candied plums, sour plums, and bayberries, help lower cholesterol and promote weight loss. You may also regularly consume weight-loss foods that serve both medicinal and dietary purposes, such as lotus leaves, adzuki beans, poria, cassia seeds, coix seeds, kudzu root, and alisma.
