Can I eat salad dressing to lose weight

Salad dressing is a high-sweet, high-calorie, low-calorie food. Many people who are losing weight choose to eat salad dressing to lose weight because of its low calories. Because salad dressing can turn ordinary vegetables and fruits into something magical, giving off an enticing flavor that makes people's appetites grow. However, salad dressing is a high-sweet, high-calorie food after all. Does eating salad dressing really help when losing weight?

1. Delicious salad dressing can make ordinary fruits and vegetables suddenly colorful and transform them into various tempting flavors. But these foods that look very healthy actually contain extremely high calories and can be harmful to your health if you eat too much. At present, the salad dressings sold on the market mainly include mayonnaise, Thousand Island dressing, etc. Studies have shown that the calories contained in mayonnaise are the highest among all salad dressings. Experts believe that this is mainly because more than half of the raw materials for mayonnaise come from edible oil, followed by egg yolks, plus a little sugar, salt and vinegar. One tablespoon of mayonnaise contains 110 kcal and 12 grams of fat, which is higher than the same amount of chocolate.

2. Experts also pointed out that in order to cater to consumers' tastes, most salad dressings on the market use a large amount of cooking oil, resulting in an increasing amount of calories contained in them. In 100 grams of salad dressing, the calories often account for more than 1/4 of the total nutritional content. If you add 3-4 tablespoons of salad dressing to a vegetable salad, the calories will exceed 300 kcal, which is equivalent to the calories contained in a meat pie. Excessive intake of calories and fat will undoubtedly make people prone to obesity, high cholesterol, diabetes and heart disease. If you want to eat salad, you can use yogurt instead.

3. As we all know, foreigners often eat salads. Why is salad with so much oil still so popular among foreigners? It turns out that "foreign salads are basically not made with salad dressing. They are usually made with olive oil and vinegar instead, or yogurt is added to the salad." However, the salad dressing we usually buy on the market is not like this. The main ingredients of commercially available salad dressing are egg yolks and salad oil (commonly known as salad oil), plus a little sugar, salt and vinegar. You may be wondering, salad oil is obviously oil, while salad dressing is sauce, the two have very different appearances! This involves the emulsification of fats in the production process of salad dressing. To put it simply: the production process is very simple, just add an egg + 1g salt + 15ml vinegar + 15ml sugar, use a whisk to beat until the color turns white, then add salad oil while beating, add about 200ml of salad oil to one egg, and beat until the sauce is thick and hard. Just look at the amount of oil used. It’s easy to imagine that when you take a bite of salad, what you actually eat is oil! This heat is scary enough! It is relatively easy to avoid visible high-fat foods in life, such as fatty meat and salad oil; but it is relatively difficult to avoid invisible fats.
