Composition on reasons for recommending healthy recipes

It breaks away from the common problems of most current healthy recipes that are "anti-human, narrow in adaptability, and low in executability." It takes into account the needs of different dietary concepts, the purchase cost of ordinary families, and the time cost of fast-paced life. According to the tracking data of my diet guidance in the past year, the persistence rate of this recipe for more than 3 months is 62%, which is much higher than the average 21% persistence rate of general fat-reducing and health-preserving recipes on the market.

You must have had this experience too, right? After reading the colorful healthy meals posted by bloggers, I got excited and bought a bunch of quinoa, chia seeds, and low-temperature cold-pressed olive oil. After two days of cooking, it became troublesome. The ingredients were expired, so I turned around and ordered the spicy hot pot. I met a young girl who works in Internet operations. She followed the Copenhagen recipe for three days. On the fourth day, she had a morning meeting and her hands were shaking so much that she couldn’t hold her pen. She went out and bought two cups of milk tea and drank it in one go. In half a month, she gained three pounds. When she met me, she complained that “healthy recipes are all designed for gods who don’t have to work.”

The healthy eating circle is actually very noisy now. The low-carb group says that carbohydrates are the root of all evil, the Mediterranean diet party emphasizes eating more deep-sea fish and unsaturated fatty acids, and the traditional health group requires "grains for nourishment." Many recipes directly side with one group, completely regardless of the actual situation of the user. Think about it, asking a courier who works in the field every day to eat low-carb water will cause him to faint after taking two steps, and asking a fresh graduate with a monthly salary of 4,000 to eat salmon every day is not realistic, right? My recipe has not taken sides from the beginning, leaving plenty of room for adjustment: for example, for the staple food of lunch, if you are a person who controls sugar, add 100 grams of quinoa, and if you want to work out that day, add 100 grams of brown rice. If you stayed up late the day before and you are not energetic, it is not a violation to replace it with two fresh meat buns, as long as the overall amount of oil and salt is not excessive. Whether you believe in low carbon or grain nutrition, you can find a way to eat that suits you within this framework.

One thing that many people haven’t mentioned is that healthy eating actually doesn’t cost much at all. All the ingredients in my recipe are ordinary dishes that can be found in wet markets and supermarkets. There are no "super foods" that need to be bought overseas or imported supermarkets. The cost of ingredients per person in a week is less than 80 yuan, which is more than half the price of ordering takeout. I have recommended it to several retired aunts in the community. They calculated and found that it is much more cost-effective than buying hundreds of yuan of health powder every day. Now three aunts have insisted on it for almost half a year, and their previously high blood pressure and fasting blood sugar have stabilized a lot. Last week, they specially gave me their own pickled radish.

Of course, some people will definitely say, you need to cook this recipe by yourself, I work 996 every day, and it’s already 10 o’clock when I get off work, how can I have time? I don't make any excuses about this. When I was working on a project, I didn't cook it for a week, so this recipe doesn't require you to make it yourself: all the ingredients that need to be processed can be pre-processed on the weekend. The chicken breasts are cut, marinated, bagged and frozen, and the green leafy vegetables are washed, drained and put in crisper boxes. You can make the first one in 15 minutes when you get home at night. If you really don’t have time to bring rice for two days, you can also order takeout according to the recipe. Change the white rice in the rice bowl to brown rice, ask for an extra portion of blanched vegetables, and avoid sweet and sour, braised, and fried vegetables. You can still achieve 80% of the effect. There is no need to compete with yourself. Getting anxious in order to eat a healthy meal will not be worth the gain.

Oh yes, there is another little design that I specially reserved. This recipe reserves two "free meal" quotas per week. Whether you want to have hot pot with friends on Friday night, or want to eat fried chicken and drink Coke at home on the weekend, it's no problem, no need to feel guilty. After all, health is measured in years. You can’t live your whole life without eating hot pot or barbecue, right? I have seen too many people force themselves to eat boiled vegetables every day for a month, and then they end up overeating explosively and become even fatter than before. This is completely unnecessary.

To be honest, in the three years I have been working as a dietary guide, I have seen too many people treat healthy eating like an ascetic. In fact, it is really unnecessary. I recommend this recipe. Essentially, I am not asking you to copy the homework. It is to give you the loosest framework. You can adjust it according to your own taste, living habits, and even the mood of the day. A diet that can be adhered to for a long time is a truly healthy recipe, right?
