How to eat glutinous rice balls during the Lantern Festival without becoming "round"? This anti-obesity strategy will make you sweet but not "greasy"

How to eat glutinous rice balls during Yuanxiao so they don't become "round"? This anti-obesity strategy will keep you sweet but not "greasy"!

The Lantern Festival is a great day to eat glutinous rice dumplings. The soft, glutinous and sweet glutinous rice dumplings make you feel extremely happy after taking a bite.

But I heard that "eating three glutinous rice balls is equivalent to swallowing a piece of pork belly?" Just as you put down the Nth sesame glutinous rice ball, your hand shook and your phone almost fell into the sugar water.

The fillings of glutinous rice balls are also quite rich. Common ones include sweet fillings such as black sesame, red bean paste, peanuts, and salty fillings such as fresh meat and salted egg yolks. On the table of the Lantern Festival, this soft, glutinous and sweet traditional delicacy is quietly launching a sweet siege on you...

1. Instructions for the "Sweet Trap" of Tangyuan

1. Calorie Assassin:

Don’t be fooled by the cute appearance! One black sesame rice dumpling has the same calories as half a bowl of rice. Eating four is enough for jogging for half an hour.

2. Sugar-coated bullets:

The sugar content of the lava filling is as high as 30%, which is equivalent to pouring honey into your blood vessels.

3. Glutinous rice maze: The sticky outer skin can be called a "gastrointestinal speed bump". Eating it at night is like working the night shift for the digestive system.

2. Foodie survival guide: three rules for eating scientifically

Limited supply

- Daily limit for adults: 3 sweet fillings/5 savory fillings.

- Golden time: 10 a.m. or tea time, to give your stomach enough "overtime pay" for digestion.

Mix and Match Breakout

- Plate Matching Artifact: Salad with Hawthorn Tea to Relieve Greasiness

- Magical way to eat: replace brown sugar ginger tea with green tea, add salty glutinous rice balls and vegetables 🥬 to turn into a health pot

Manual transformation

- Filling revolution: purple sweet potato and taro puree replaces lard and sesame, and chopped walnuts increase the chewiness.

- Skin evolution: Add 1/3 brown rice flour to give glutinous rice a "dietary fiber armor".

3. Anti-circular alarm for special groups

- Attention diabetics: Sugar-free glutinous rice balls do not mean no carbohydrates. Serve with a boiled egg to delay blood sugar rise.

Be sure to monitor your blood sugar levels before and after eating glutinous rice balls.

- People with weak stomachs: control the amount of food consumed and choose fillings that are easy to digest. Be careful to chew slowly and avoid overeating.

- A must-read for those who want to lose weight: Stand against a wall for 15 minutes immediately after eating to avoid having a "dumpling belly".

The Lantern Festival is not a "circle-making festival". Learn the "three-bite principle" - take small bites, chew slowly, and drink with tea.

Remember, the best destination for glutinous rice balls is to share the sweetness with the whole family, rather than to take up the calories alone.

This year, during the holidays, we must be together but also refuse to become "round and incomplete"!
