Nutritional diet copywriting

There is no standard answer that suits everyone. The optimal nutritional diet plan that adapts to your physical condition, life rhythm, and dietary preferences and can be adhered to for a long time is your optimal nutritional diet plan.

Damn, this is really based on hard-earned experience. A while ago, I helped my 996 programmer cousin adjust his diet. When he came up, he searched for "Programmer Exclusive Nutritional Recipes" and boiled broccoli according to the recipe on the Internet. , fried chicken breasts, persisted for three days, and worked overtime until 10 o'clock on the fourth day. I squatted downstairs in the company and showed off two skewers of grilled sweet potato skins and a hand cake. After eating, I felt guilty and emo for half a night, saying that I "have poor self-control and do not deserve to eat healthy meals." Why do you think this is necessary?

The current mainstream nutrition research is actually divided into two directions, each with its own reasons, and no one is right or wrong. One is the evidence-based nutrition school. The core is to follow the framework of the "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2022)". Grains, potatoes, meat, eggs, milk, vegetables and fruits are matched in rough proportions. The other is the more individualized functional nutrition school. The core is to understand your own physical condition first and then make adjustments. For example, if you are born with lactose intolerance, you don’t have to force yourself to drink a pound of milk every day. You can still get enough calcium by switching to sugar-free soy milk or eating thousands of sheets of tofu. ； If you are found to be insulin resistant, you should eat less refined carbohydrates such as white rice and white noodles. You don’t have to follow other people’s recipes and eat half a pound of staple food a day. However, the threshold for this group is slightly higher. If you can’t find a reliable evaluation channel, it is easy to be led astray by pseudo-science on the Internet. In the end, you will become anemic and lose your hair if you follow other people’s diets.

In the five years I have been doing community nutrition consulting, the most common misunderstanding I have seen is that people always equate "nutritional diet" with "asceticism". Last month, a mother came to me and said that in order to provide her baby with enough nutrition, she never bought any snacks at home. She only had steamed pumpkins, boiled corns, and stir-fried vegetables every meal. However, when she picked her baby up from school last week, she saw her baby squatting next to the canteen and secretly nibbling three bags of spicy strips. They were so spicy that she couldn't bear to throw them away. You said this kind of "nutritious diet", no matter how perfect the proportion is, if you can't stick to it and even make people have a rebellious mentality, what's the use?

To be honest, if you rely on takeout every day from nine to five, there is really no need to worry. When choosing a meal, use more chopsticks to stir-fry green leafy vegetables, and avoid the sweet and sour pork ribs and pot-roasted pork wrapped in thick batter and deep-fried. Eat half of the rice and replace it with braised corn or steamed sweet potatoes.

By the way, people are arguing very fiercely now about "should I take nutritional supplements?" I have seen a lot of extreme cases: one side says "it's 30% of the medicine and poison, and taking supplements means you have to pay an IQ tax", while the other side keeps a cabinet full of imported multivitamins and collagen tablets to eat. In fact, it really doesn’t have to be black and white. In the cases I have encountered, if you are on a business trip all over the world, and every meal is heavy in oil and salt, then preparing a small bottle of ordinary B vitamins and vitamin D can indeed make up for the lack of food in the diet. You don’t need to buy imported products worth hundreds of yuan, a small white bottle from a drugstore for a few yuan is enough. ； If you can basically cook three meals at home and eat more than a dozen different ingredients every week, then there is really no need to take extra supplements. Taking too much will put a burden on your liver and kidneys.

I haven’t completely given up on milk tea and hot pot. I still drink a cup of hot milk tea every week when it’s cold in winter. When ordering, I choose three-point sugar and add taro paste instead of pearls. I drink it slowly and I don’t feel guilty. To be honest, those nutrition ratios that are accurate to grams are mostly prepared for competitive athletes and people with special diseases. We ordinary people really don’t have to push ourselves so hard in our lives.

To put it bluntly, a nutritious diet is never a shackles for you, it is to make you feel comfortable eating and physically comfortable. Just remember to "eat more natural food and less processed food, and keep half the food you like and half the food you need." That's enough.
