One of the characteristics of Sichuan cuisine is that it is oily. For example, Chongqing hot pot, boiled fish, mala Tang, are not eating vegetables, but fishing in oil. Almost all Sichuan dishes look like they are soaked in oil. If you don't fry it, you can't wait to cook a vegetable in the oil pan.

But the overall image of Sichuanese is that they are capable, lean and healthy, and seldom have a big belly. This is one side of the soil and water to support one side, just can't eat fat. There are three reasons: first, the oil is slippery.

Most of the oil in Sichuan cuisine is vegetable oil, only hot pot contains some butter, and meat dishes contain some animal oil. Cooking oil has a characteristic. If you eat more at one time, it will be absorbed by the stomach and intestines, and if you eat more, it will slip your intestines. Therefore, people who eat Sichuan food for a long time rarely suffer from constipation. It is said that eating so many peppers will get angry and constipation. But they won't, just because they eat too much oil and slide their intestines. Second, the staple food is diluted.

The main external condition for people to gain weight is eating staple food excessively for a long time. Carbohydrate is high-content sugar, including 76% rice, 72% corn and 73% wheat flour. That is to say, there is .76 kg sugar in a catty of rice.

Sichuanese don't eat like the north, and the scallion dipped in sauce fills the cake tube. They don't wolf down their meals, nor do they chew slowly like Cantonese. Sichuanese eat mainly vegetables, supplemented by staple food. Relatively speaking, if you eat more vegetables, the proportion of staple food will be small. If you eat like this, you won't eat too much staple food, so it's not easy to get fat. Third, be diligent and active.

Sichuanese are vigorous, lively and active, and rarely sit still for a long time. Even playing games, I am very happy and moving all over. When you exercise a lot, you will consume more, and the excess fat will be consumed before it can be stored.

1. The staple food of Sichuan people is low in carbohydrate

First of all, the diet structure is closely related to obesity.

In the northern region with the highest obesity index, the proportion of carbohydrates in the diet structure is very high, and fine pasta (such as noodles and steamed bread) is the main food, not coarse grains.

However, in Sichuan people's diet, carbohydrates account for a small proportion, and they have a wide range of ingredients and eat more miscellaneous.

Common healthy foods rich in carbohydrates include brown rice, grains, whole wheat flour, oats, beans, potatoes and fruits.

Fine carbohydrates mainly refer to sugar foods and fine flour foods processed by modern industry.

including white rice, white noodles, fine-flour steamed bread, white bread, biscuits, cakes, sweets, sugary drinks, etc.

they have a high glycemic index, which can quickly raise blood sugar in a short time and provide high calories, but the excess calories will be stored as fat.

A large intake of fine carbohydrates has become the culprit of obesity.

In Sichuan people's diet structure, because carbohydrates account for a relatively low proportion, people in areas that love pasta are not so easy to get fat.

2. Eating hot pot is slow, and it is easy to feel full.

Sichuanese often eat hot pot, and it takes a long time to eat it.

While eating delicious food, you can eat it casually for 1-2 hours. Eating hot pot slowly will actually increase your satiety, and the food you actually eat is not as much as you think.

The risk of getting fat is more than four times that of eating slowly.

Researchers at Okayama University in Japan confirmed through follow-up investigation that eating fast can easily lead to obesity, and the obesity rate is very obvious.

compared with other eating habits, such as liking greasy food and overeating, eating too fast affects weight more.

Experts suggest that in order to prevent middle-aged obesity from causing hypertension and diabetes, young people should get rid of the bad habit of eating fast in time.

Experts in the field of oral care and obesity treatment recommend that a bite of rice should be chewed 2 ~ 3 times.

Therefore, you can learn from Sichuan people's "slowness" when eating at ordinary times ~

3. Butter used in hot pot is less harmful

Butter used in Chongqing hot pot is saturated fatty acid, which is the most stable fatty acid.

Eating hot pot is a long-time, high-temperature and repeated cooking process, and only saturated fat can be stable without oxidation in this process.

If vegetable oil is used and cooked for a long time, it is actually equivalent to gutter oil. The oil has been oxidized, which will seriously affect the metabolism of the body and promote inflammation in the body. Obesity is often related to inflammation.

For oil, the harm of oxidized oil far exceeds that of saturated fat. The body needs a certain proportion of saturated fat, which is almost similar to the natural proportion in the body, that is, 1%, but the body does not need oxidized fat at all.

And there are many fat-soluble vitamins in natural butter, and the cost is higher.

If you eat butter chafing dish, the soup base is only used to wash the pot. If you don't consume a lot of oil, butter is definitely much better than vegetable oil!

Also, you should pay attention to cooking at ordinary times. If you use vegetable oil, don't cook at high temperature for a long time repeatedly, otherwise the oil will oxidize in the pot, which is the most harmful to your health.

4. Sichuan cuisine has heavy oil, but it doesn't consume a lot of oil.

Many people think that Sichuan cuisine is very spicy and heavy in oil, and they think that eating Sichuan cuisine will eat all the oil in their stomachs, but this is not objective enough.

People think that dishes with a lot of oil, such as boiled pork slices, boiled fish, boiled beef, boiled bullfrog, etc., are actually just visually oily.

There are vegetable oil or soybean oil floating on the surface of these dishes. These oils are refined by dozens of spices, and their main function is to enhance flavor, and they are not directly eaten by people.

Secondly, Sichuan cuisine also has many light dishes, all of which are home-cooked, mainly stewed, boiled and stir-fried.

Like boiled cabbage, it is a famous Sichuan dish with light taste. It was originally created by Huang Jinglin, a famous chef of Sichuan cuisine, when he was in the imperial dining room of the Qing Palace. Later, it was developed by Luo Guorong, a master of Sichuan cuisine, and became a fine product at the state banquet.

This kind of light food is also a "frequent visitor" on the table of Sichuanese.

The main reason is to drink tea, including morning tea, middle tea from morning to noon, afternoon tea, afternoon tea, evening tea, and night tea after staying up late. Tea houses, tea shops, tea houses and tea shops can be seen everywhere. Tea occupies a very important position in the diet structure of Sichuan people. It is better to have no food for one day than to have no tea for one day!

for reference! Why do Sichuanese have low obesity index?

1. Sichuanese's staple food is low in carbohydrates

Obesity is closely related to the diet structure. In the north, the proportion of carbohydrates in the diet structure is very high, and fine pasta is the main food, while in the diet of Sichuanese, carbohydrates account for a relatively small proportion, and the ingredients are extensive, so people eat more miscellaneous food.

2. Eating hot pot is slow, which makes you feel full.

Sichuanese often eat hot pot, and it takes a long time to eat it. Eating slowly will actually increase the feeling of fullness, so in fact, there is not as much food as you think.

3. Sichuan cuisine is heavy oil, but it doesn't contain a lot of oil.

Many people think that Sichuan cuisine is very spicy and heavy in oil, and they think that eating Sichuan cuisine means eating all the oil in their stomachs. In fact, it is like boiled pork slices, boiled beef and other dishes, but it looks like a lot of oil visually.

Soybean oil or vegetable oil is floating on the surface of these dishes, and its main function is to enhance the taste, and it is not directly eaten by people.

The most important thing is that there are many light dishes in Sichuan cuisine, and they are all home-cooked dishes, mainly stewed, steamed and stir-fried.

The original style of Sichuan cuisine is that all kinds of dishes are delicious, which is both healthy and original.

First, it is well known that Sichuanese love spicy food. Because Sichuan is located in the basin, the climate is humid, and eating peppers can dispel cold and dehumidify, so peppers have become an essential ingredient for Sichuanese. Eating Chili can accelerate blood circulation, improve metabolism and help the human body burn more calories.

According to Purdue University, people will burn more calories and reduce their appetite after eating red peppers. But it doesn't mean that eating peppers is a way to lose weight, but on the basis of a healthy diet, eating peppers has a positive effect on weight control.

Second, the skeleton of Sichuanese is small, so slight obesity will not be too obvious. People with skeletons are more likely to be fat visually.

Third, Sichuan food is not used for eating directly. As a daily seasoning, if you don't eat so much oil directly into your stomach, you will naturally not be obese because of this.

I agree with the view that there are few staple foods. I eat in small bowls at home. After I married a province in central China, I was directly laughed at for feeding cats.

good things in the world are not firm, and colorful clouds are easy to scatter and broken glass. In our life, there will always be regrets of one kind or another, which makes us regret it. We wish we could go back in time. < P > Sichuan food has always been heavy and spicy in our eyes. When you see Sichuan food on the table, it is often a big pot with a lot of peppers in it. Sichuanese can eat spicy food and love spicy food. They like hot and oily food. This has something to do with the local environment where they live.

Look at Maoxuewang, spicy fish head, hot pot and other dishes in Sichuan cuisine. The hot oil inside is really frightening. But it's strange why Sichuanese eat so much oil and so much spicy food. Sichuanese are rarely fat, and all the girls in Sichuan are beautiful.

after searching for some answers, I finally understand.

Although Sichuanese love to eat heavy oil and spicy food, they actually eat less oil. In order to have a spicy taste, a dish is often full of peppers, but there are few ingredients. Although it is a big pot, there are very few dishes to eat.

And Sichuan people eat less staple food when they eat these heavy oil and spicy food. As we all know, as long as the elements that make people fat are carbohydrates and sugar, these two are the most likely to make people fat. Sichuanese eat less staple food. Compared with other areas, people here prefer to eat sweet potato powder and the like, so the number of fat people in Sichuan is relatively small.

Sichuanese like to eat hot pot slowly, so it is normal for them to chew slowly. This has an advantage. Chewing slowly can easily make people feel full and make people's appetite drop without knowing it. Therefore, even if they eat hot pot, Sichuanese can grasp a degree, will not eat too much, will not eat enough, and naturally control their food intake.

Isn't such a lovely person worth paying attention to?

The oil is heavy and spicy, and it just goes through the intestines.

Grain is more suitable for the intestines of China people. The staple food of Sichuanese is rice. In the past, I watched the dishes before eating, but now the dishes are rich, and rice is always eaten. After big fish and big meat, you still have to eat some kimchi. Sichuanese use kimchi to "shuttle rice" while rice is "cut with oil". Sichuanese believe that medicine and food are of the same origin, and even peasant women know which dishes are clear and which are beneficial. The main meal of Sichuan cuisine is cold dishes with wine, hot dishes with meals, and clear soup with mouthwash (to restore the acid-base balance of the mouth). As for eating rice to gain weight, it is studied by foreigners and can only be used for reference.

First of all, the oil used in Sichuan cooking is vegetable oil, and the fat content is not high.

second, there are many kinds of vegetables in Sichuan cuisine, and the proportion of meat is small (compared with northern cuisine such as northeast cuisine and northwest cuisine).

Third, Sichuanese don't eat much (compared with northerners) and eat less staple food (compared with northerners).

Finally, there is a saying that eating spicy food actually helps to lose weight, because pepper is rich in vitamin C, which can accelerate the digestion and absorption of ingested food. At the same time, the capsaicin it contains can accelerate the decomposition of fat.
