[Reporter Chen Fengli/Report from Nantou] This year's Spring Festival holiday is as long as 10 days. During the Chinese New Year, eat a lot of New Year's dishes every day, and be careful to gain weight after the new year!

Liao Meiyu, a nutritionist at Youmin Hospital, Caotun Township, Nantou County, taught the "rice bowl measurement method" for eating New Year's dishes, that is, eat two bowls of vegetables at each meal, then eat a bowl of plant-based protein from beans, and then eat animal-based protein such as fish , and finally eat a bowl of starchy staple food. Starch is not only rice, noodles, kueh, rice noodles, dumplings, but also corn, pumpkin, taro, sweet potato, lotus seeds, water chestnut, etc. in New Year’s dishes. Fill a bowl first before eating. Don't be afraid of overdose.

Liao Meiyu said that after looking for the menus of 39 restaurants, they found that 70% of the dishes are fish and meat. Not only are they high in fat and salt, but also the types and portions of vegetables are very small. If you eat them all the time during the Chinese New Year, you will suffer from three high chronic diseases. The public is a big burden, and many people will have thick waistlines and heavy weight because of this.

Liao Meiyu said that during the Chinese New Year, one must maintain health and fitness, and not allow oneself to gain weight. It is recommended to use the "rice bowl measurement method" to control the portion size, and different types of food have different eating orders. It is best to eat two rice bowls of vegetables first. Vegetables can be eaten, and the dietary fiber of black fungus is very high, so it can be added to New Year's dishes.

You will feel full after eating two bowls of vegetables, and you can reduce the intake of other vegetables.

After eating vegetables, eat a bowl of plant-based protein, such as tofu, dried tofu and other soy products, followed by a bowl of animal protein such as meat and fish, and finally a bowl of starchy food.

Limit one bowl of starch per meal, and pumpkin and lotus seeds are both starches, so they should also be counted in one bowl.

Liao Meiyu also said that starch is digested and turned into glucose. Excessive intake of starch will make the waistline thicker and triglycerides increase. Therefore, the amount of rice should be strictly controlled.

But it should be noted that not only rice, noodles, rice noodles, dumplings, radish cakes, sweet cakes, and fat cakes are starchy, but also taro, sweet potato, pumpkin, lotus seeds, corn, water chestnut, etc. in New Year’s dishes are starchy, so Put these ingredients in the rice bowl first, fill the bowl before eating, and don't fill it up after eating, so you won't overdo it.

The amount of starch in a rice bowl should be controlled. Rice noodles, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, corn, and lotus seeds are all starches.
