Liu Bowen, executive director of the Taiwan Obesity Health Education and Prevention Association and a weight loss specialist, said that there are dozens of ingredients in a jar of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. A closer look at these ingredients, including old hens, sea cucumbers, abalone, shark fins, scallops, crispy pork ribs, pork tripe, lamb elbows, pork tendons, taro, etc., are almost all high-fat, high-protein foods. A jar of about 2,500 grams of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall has about 2,500 calories, which is very amazing, far exceeding the daily calorie requirement of an adult woman (an average of 1,200 to 1,800 calories).

3 tips to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall without getting fat

It is not a fantasy to want to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in a healthy way without worrying about obesity! As long as you master the following 3 tips, you will lose fat and not gain weight:

The calorie king in Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is none other than fried spareribs. In order to reduce the intake of high-fat ingredients, it is recommended to replace fried spareribs with low-fat tenderloin, which can reduce calories by at least 100 calories.

1. Mushrooms instead of offal

The calorie king in Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is none other than fried spareribs. In order to reduce the intake of high-fat ingredients, it is recommended to replace fried spareribs with low-fat tenderloin, which can reduce calories by at least 100 calories. In addition, you can also use more mushroom ingredients rich in dietary fiber and replace many of the original offal ingredients. You can add Hericium erinaceus, Pleurotus eryngii, Oyster mushroom, Camellia mushroom, etc. In addition to having a different aroma, the taste is also more delicious. You can also moderately replace ingredients with low-fat chicken breast, fish, and eggs, and increase the proportion.

2. Reduce the consumption of soup

Although the soup of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall tastes delicious, it is still a high-fat, high-salt, and high-calorie food. Even if you just drink the soup, the calories are quite high and may even bring a burden to your body. Reminder: try not to drink the soup at the bottom of the pot. If you really want to drink the soup, you can wait until the soup cools down before drinking it. It is best to drink the soup on the top because many high-salt ingredients will dissolve in the high-temperature soup and will settle to the bottom of the soup after cooling. Also, pay attention to the sodium salt in the soup. Do not consume too much, as it will increase the burden on your kidneys.

3. Drink sugar-free tea to lose fat

After eating a bowl of greasy and heavy Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, it is best to drink some sugar-free, fat-reducing tea drinks, such as oolong tea, green tea, etc. The catechins contained in green tea can inhibit the proliferation of adipose tissue, promote cell metabolism, and reduce fat accumulation. Oolong tea contains theaflavins and thearubigins, which help lower blood fat levels.

[Notes from a weight loss doctor]:

Dr. Liu Boen finally reminded that in addition to eating Buddha Jumps Over the Wall during the Chinese New Year, don’t forget to consume enough seasonal vegetables and fruits to achieve a balance.

Don't forget to supplement more vegetable fiber and seasonal fruits, and drink more boiled water or sugar-free beverages. Only in this way can you eat healthily and have a good New Year.
