Healthy Recipe Guide

It’s enough to match your physical conditions, conform to your daily rhythm, and allow you to eat for a lifetime without pain.

In fact, this is like trying to wear one size smaller brand-name shoes. Others will see them look glamorous, but you will be the only one who gets your feet soaked, so you can’t do the same. I was consulting a little while ago and met a little girl who just went to college. In order to follow the blogger's so-called "supermodel fat-reducing meal", she ate tasteless sugar-free oatmeal bowls every morning without even adding a little sweetness. Her aunt postponed her meal for 15 days for two consecutive months, and her whole face turned sallow. Later, I asked her to add a spoonful of brown sugar every morning and allowed herself to eat braised pork ribs twice a week. Within a month, the cycle became normal and the weight did not return.

There are several major diet schools that are very noisy on the Internet right now, such as ketogenic, Mediterranean, vegan, and balanced meals. There is really no one who can beat the other. It all depends on whether it is suitable for you. I have a fat friend who is insulin resistant. The doctor asked him to try the ketogenic diet. He likes to eat meat rather than rice. After three months of persistence, his blood sugar has steadily dropped, and his fatty liver has become much lighter. ； But another friend who was born and raised in Nanjing had to eat salted duck with white rice every time, forcing him to cut off carbon dioxide. On the third day, he was so exhausted that he ran to eat three bowls of egg fried rice, but gained 3 pounds. Do you think this can be blamed on the recipe not working? By the way, there are still many people who claim that being vegetarian is healthier. I know an aunt who has been vegetarian for ten years, and her physical examination indicators are better than those of a twenty-year-old. However, she has never forgotten to regularly supplement B12 and iron in the past ten years, and check trace elements every three months. If you blindly follow the trend of vegetarianism and eat some vegetables and white rice every day and can't even make up enough protein, hair loss and anemia will be a matter of time.

We who provide nutritional consultation often say that "the overall dietary pattern is greater than a single food". There is really no need to use a food scale to weigh the grams every time and worry about whether 100g of chicken breast will make you fat if it contains 5g more. For example, if you are a 9-to-5 commuter and cannot get up for half an hour in the morning to make breakfast, then make a reservation for multigrain porridge the night before, go out and grab a hard-boiled egg and add a handful of nuts. It is much healthier than the hand cakes with two sausages bought on the roadside, and you don’t need to spend extra time. ； If you usually socialize a lot and have had hot pot twice and three barbecues this week, then drink more green vegetable and tofu soup and eat more stir-fried vegetables in the next two days. The overall nutrition for the week will be balanced. There is no need to postpone all the friends' dinner invitations for the sake of "health", which will make you emotionally depressed.

I also stepped into this trap two years ago. I bought a food scale that is accurate to 0.1g. Each meal must weigh 150g of rice, 200g of vegetables, and exactly 100g of chicken breast. Eating is like doing a chemistry experiment. I didn’t dare to go to a hot pot dinner when my friends invited me. During that time, even my temper became worse. Later, I simply let go and ate hot pot whenever I wanted, cooked more green leafy vegetables and less processed meatballs. If I wanted to drink Coke, I switched to sugar-free cola. I just walked an extra two kilometers the next day to consume it. It’s been almost two years now. All the indicators in the physical examination are normal, and even the slight hyperlipidemia before was gone.

Of course, the basic principles still need to be adhered to. For example, friends with gout should not always drink Laohuo soup that has been simmered for several hours, and eat less high-purine seafood.； Friends with diabetes should try to avoid polished rice and white flour, and switch to multi-grain and potato varieties. ； Pregnant women should take more folic acid and high-quality protein. These are clinically proven consensuses, and there is no need to go against them. For the rest, whether you like light soy sauce or dark soy sauce, steamed or braised, it all depends on your own taste.

To be honest, health is never a short-term sprint, it is a lifelong habit. If you are looking for a recipe that makes you feel annoyed after eating it for three days, then it doesn’t matter how perfect the nutrient ratio is. After all, a healthy diet that you can eat steadily for a lifetime and make you feel comfortable is truly your healthy diet.
