Taiwan is a kingdom of gourmet food, and its night market food culture is famous internationally. However, people should be careful about obesity while feasting on gourmet food.

Doctors pointed out that "eating less and moving more" is the only way to lose weight. When people enjoy delicious food at night markets, it is best to go together and follow the principle of "share more and walk more". Eat foods with low caloric density first and then eat more.

Chew slowly; if there are obese patients with a BMI over 27) or those with chronic diseases such as metabolic abnormalities, you can follow the doctor's advice and consider taking appropriate weight-loss drugs that inhibit fat absorption to avoid obesity.

Taiwan's night market culture is famous internationally, but doctors warn that when enjoying delicious food, you should be careful about obesity.

Wu Zhixing, an attending physician at the Department of Family Medicine at National Cheng Kung University Hospital, pointed out that the place foreigners most want to visit when they come to Taiwan is actually not Alishan, the Forbidden City, or Taipei 101, but the "night market" where you can find everything to eat, drink, and have fun.

For example, chicken steak, squid soup, rice dumplings, pepper cakes, oyster omelets, fried buns, large intestine noodles, braised meat, Dingbian file, xiaolongbao, etc., all make foreigners salivate.

Choose more steaming and less frying, and consume less oil. Most people go to the night market and must order crispy stinky tofu with large intestine noodles, or pearl milk tea with fried chicken steak. These two combinations have the most shocking calories.

If you want to eat with less burden, it is recommended to choose steamed or boiled food, which will have lower calories than fried food.

Another hidden version of high-calorie food is a coffin board hollowed out from thick slices of toast and then stuffed and deep-fried. One serving contains more than 500 calories, which is quite astonishing.

A cup of ordinary pearl milk tea has an average of 550 calories, which is almost the same as a bento, and is equivalent to drinking 61 grams of fat.

At the same time, night market snacks also add all kinds of artificial additives to enhance their color, flavor, and flavor. If they are eaten regularly, they will definitely put a burden on the body.

Therefore, you should try to avoid the three cooking methods of "frying and baking", eat less thickened dishes, don't drink up the soup, and don't add too much fat sauce, which can effectively reduce unnecessary calories.

Share with others: Sharing food with friends is one of the good ways to reduce calorie intake, especially fried food.

2. Combination snacks: When eating snacks from the night market, those who are losing weight should choose foods with low calories to eat first.

For example, the cake contains meat and vegetables, which is both delicious and nutritious. It can save about 130 calories by not adding peanut powder and meringue. Please also ask the store to not add dried radish and sweet chili sauce to reduce salt intake.

3. Less processed foods: Processed foods are usually higher in calories and have additives that may not be good for your health.

For example, dumplings and candied fruits contain quite high calories.

Therefore, if you want to eat seafood, it is best to choose delicious fish soup and avoid thickened fish cake soup and squid soup.

4. Chew slowly: Just try a little of high-fat and high-calorie snacks such as oyster omelette, rice cakes, or chicken chops and crispy chicken.

It's okay to add a plate of blanched vegetables, but don't drizzle sesame oil and braised pork sauce on it.

At the same time, drink less pearl milk tea, choose fresh juice or Aiyu lemon, and chew more slowly to suppress appetite.

Obese people should not forget to take diet pills before enjoying delicious food. If you cannot control your appetite for night market food, especially for obese people who are overweight and need to rely on medication to lose weight, you may wish to take a diet approved by the health authorities before enjoying delicious food at the night market.

The weight-loss drug can effectively suppress fat and keep away the nightmare of obesity.
