CCTV news(Reporter/Du Anqi Editor/Kan Chunyu): Light food box, fat reduction package, four seasons healthy recipes...... Recently, in response to the call of the National Health Commission to promote the "Weight Management Year" 3-year action, colleges and universities around the country have successively launched fat-reducing meals to help college students develop healthy eating habits. Soon after the sale of fat loss meals, they became popular in colleges and universities, attracting many "fat loss people" to line up to buy.
Fat loss meals on campus make weight management easier
"Fat loss doesn't seem to be so painful anymore, and I feel like I can stick to it." Qin Shan, a first-year student at Shandong University, has been losing weight intermittently for more than a year, participating in various sports and trying various fat-loss meals. But "sometimes I'm so hungry that I can't control my desire to eat some spicy and greasy food." The weight is stuck in a plateau and has not changed much for a long time."
今年3月初，秦珊所在的學校宿舍樓下投放了自助輕食櫃，售賣黑椒雞肉套餐、豆皮雞肉卷、牛肉恰巴塔等中西式減脂套餐。她買來嘗試了一下：“吃了第一口我就覺得特別好吃，完全沒有減脂餐那種難以下咽的感覺。”她剛取到餐品的時候，盒子甚至是熱的。
"The meat and vegetable combination of the light food box is very good, with broccoli, tomato chicken, multigrain rice, no heavy oil and heavy salt. It also has a strong sense of satiety, and after eating, it will probably not be hungry until the evening, and it will not think about eating anything else. Compared with the single-choice fat-reducing meals on the market that are difficult to eat for a long time, Qin Shan believes that the light food box makes it easier to control the diet. Since then, Qin Shan has eaten light food boxes every few days and tasted different set meals. Due to the large number of students who "grab" food at the light food cabinet, "sometimes when there is a class in the last class in the afternoon, I have to rush over to buy it."
Alina, a sophomore at a university in Chengdu, is also insisting on controlling her diet and managing her weight. She told CCTV's "News+" reporter: "In the past, there was no special fat reduction meal in the school, and if you eat it in the cafeteria, you have to worry about which dishes have fewer calories." "Ordering a light takeaway once in a while is not very reassuring in terms of hygiene, and the cost is relatively high for the average student. However, since the school cafeteria had a fat reduction meal window last week, "it is much more convenient to control your diet, and you don't have to think about it too much when you eat, you can just buy it." I eat two or three times a week."
The school cafeteria has also "knocked down" the price of the fat loss package. "Sell light food for twenty or thirty yuan in the restaurant outside, and you can eat well for more than ten yuan in the school cafeteria!" He Si, a student at a university in Beijing, told a reporter from CCTV's "News +" that at the school's light food window, a high-quality black pepper chicken thigh meat set meal is 6 yuan, as well as prawns, broccoli, purple rice, corn, sweet potatoes and other ingredients for students to choose from, and there are many people queuing up at the window every day.
How to tear off the label of "unpalatable" in college fat loss meals?
"Chinese food has many more cooking techniques than Western food, using cooking techniques such as roasting, steaming, boiling, stirring, boiling, boiling, etc., and some sauces that are not high in calories, you can make delicious and healthy Chinese food." Ren Wenning, director of the catering management department of the central campus of the catering management service center of Shandong University, introduced, "The 3 cabinets we set up downstairs in the dormitory are often sold out soon after they are sold. ”
"Our light food box products are designed in strict accordance with the scientific ratio of the three major production nutrients, and the calories of each lunch box are controlled at 600 calories to 0 calories, which can easily reach the calorie gap of college students." "At the same time, we will increase the proportion of dietary fiber in each meal to make it easier for everyone to feel full." Fat loss also requires a lot of vitamins and trace elements, and we have matched it so that students can eat it with confidence. He introduced that the professional nutritionist team of the restaurant provides a scientific guarantee for the research and development of light food products.
"The school fat loss meal is refreshing, healthy, relatively original, no spicy and greasy things, and there is no burden on the body after eating." Min Yue, a doctoral student at Shandong University, told CCTV "News +" reporter that although she does not have the need to lose fat, she usually has great academic pressure, "eating a delicious, nutritious, and colorful light food package, you will feel that you are living a regular life, studying and working, and the whole person is in a positive state."
"Colleges and universities have professional nutritionist resources, which can truly achieve nutritionally balanced, scientific and reasonable fat reduction meals. This is a great help for students to choose a healthy diet on a regular basis. Ruan Guangfeng, deputy director of the Kexin Food and Nutrition Information Exchange Center, said: "It is actually difficult to achieve nutritional science in the light food and fat reduction meal products launched by some restaurants in the market. For example, the salad dressing used in many fat-reducing meals is actually not low in energy and high in fat. At the same time, more oil, more salt, and more sugar, it is actually not healthy. "There are also some fat-reducing meals that blindly pursue the effect of reducing energy, do not match staple foods, lack of high-quality protein, and have unbalanced nutrition, which will have a negative impact on health if eaten for a long time.
College fat loss meals convey the concept of healthy eating
"Healthy eating is very important for the whole population. Obesity not only affects physical health, but it can also lead to some mental health problems. Ruan Guangfeng said that many young people will have low self-esteem because of body problems, and in severe cases, it will even lead to depression and other problems, and it is also closely related to the high risk of chronic diseases in adulthood. Judging from the data, there are now more and more obese college students on college campuses. According to the data of the Ministry of Education in 5 years, the obesity rate of college students in China is about 0.0%. ”
"The launch of fat-reducing meals in colleges and universities is not only an innovation and optimization of canteen dishes, but also a shaping and dissemination of health concepts." Ruan Guangfeng told CCTV's "News+" reporter that by providing scientifically proportioned meals, the concept of healthy eating can be imperceptibly conveyed, so that students can be protected from the influence of bad weight loss methods on the Internet.
Ruan Guangfeng noticed that there are many very popular extreme weight loss methods on the Internet, such as fasting, ketogenic diet, liquid weight loss, energy coffee weight loss, or skipping staple foods, skipping breakfast, and even taking diet pills. "While these methods can lead to rapid weight loss, they can lead to malnutrition in the long run. And once you stop losing weight, it's easy to gain weight again, and maybe even get fatter. "The prevalence of these wrong weight loss methods may lead some students to fall into weight loss mistakes.
"Skipping staple foods altogether causes the body to over-consume other nutrients. Losing weight with this method often may not only lead to acidosis, but also increase the burden on the kidneys. Some people will have symptoms of hair loss, and girls may also have problems such as menstrual period disorders, which have a great impact on physical health. "Another example is some liquid weight loss methods, which make the body lose weight quickly by dehydrating the body. But as soon as you drink water, you will immediately regain your weight. "This is actually a false weight loss, and the correct way to lose weight should be to reduce excess body fat."
"Healthy eating is not a short-term task, but requires long-term adherence to healthy eating habits." Ruan Guangfeng suggested that no matter how dieting and weight loss, you should also ensure your basic nutritional needs every day, and eat 6000 kinds of food every day according to the recommendations of the dietary pagoda, so as to achieve food diversity and nutritional balance. At the same time, there should be at least 0 steps of activity every day to achieve a balance between eating and moving. "Compared with simply eating a few fat-reducing meals, the cultivation and transmission of health concepts is more meaningful."
