Chapter 469 465. Pretty Kitten Light Food Restaurant
It tastes bad, but the calories are really low.

A 100-gram serving of rice contains 156 kcal, while the same weight of konjac contains only 7 kcal.

Just 4% of rice.

Moreover, konjac has a chewy texture and you can feel full by chewing it thoroughly.

It is the perfect weight loss food.

However, it has no nutritional value and has lower energy than vegetables such as eggplant, tomato, green pepper, bitter melon, zucchini, leek, cabbage, and kale.

As for vitamins, the content of konjac is almost zero; the content of these four minerals, potassium, magnesium, iron and zinc, is also very low.

I wish I could eat a meal that costs me 15 kcal, and I consume more calories than it can provide.

It's pure weight loss.

The most important thing is that it’s cheap. Very cheap.

Compare it with the cat head candy mentioned above.

Isn't this just giving it away for free?

enough.

People flock to buy things and send them home with the cat head courier, saving on shipping costs.

Very beautiful.

This is called consumption habit. It doesn't matter if things are more expensive, but paying for postage is absolutely not acceptable.

I would rather buy the one that’s ten dollars more expensive than pay six dollars for postage.

However, although konjac products are low in calories and can help lose weight, they are not delicious after all.

Are there any delicious weight loss foods?
Have!
On the side.

This side has turned into a cute kitten again.

The name is "Qiaomao Light Food Restaurant"

It occupies the largest area today.

There is a big sign at the entrance saying there is a fresh mushroom launch event.

Because we are at the Harvest Festival, happiness is the main thing.

So we organized a lot of activities.

Ke Shaotong presided over the event personally, and Zhang Xiaoru, who was far away in Hainan, was also called back to help.

At this time, a group of nutrition and fitness experts were gathered together to organize an event and blind auditions.

The rule is that several bloggers who have been doing fitness for many years are blindfolded and wait quietly.

Several other nutritionists were on hand to prepare light and healthy meals.

Cherry tomatoes, corn, broccoli, red beans, cucumber, eggs and chicken breast, served with sour vinegar sauce.

There is also an all-you-can-eat set meal.

Cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, corn, mango, snow peas, cucumber and shrimp.

And a filling set meal with soba noodles.

Once the live broadcast is on, the whole network will participate and supervise.

In fact, not many people watched it online. It was mainly for people who were at the scene to see, and the photographers we invited specially shot the materials for the promotional highlights.

The light, nutritious, and fitness meals for weight loss are prepared in duplicate, the difference being that one has mushrooms added and the other does not.

Then, those fitness enthusiasts who usually eat light meals were asked to take off their blindfolds and taste the food on the spot.

Damn, how can you not tell the difference? The taste of the two is completely different.

The contrast is too strong.

A fitness blogger who had been eating grass all year round burst into tears on the spot.

While shedding tears, she swallowed the nutritious meal with mushrooms in big mouthfuls. She ate too fast and choked, her face turned red, but she was reluctant to put it down and kept stuffing food into her mouth with a fork.

Ke Shaotong was afraid that she would choke, so he quickly brought her a glass of water.

After the fitness blogger drank the water, he finished all the nutritious meal, leaving not a drop of juice.

After that, he started crying again.

She cried bitterly and lamented what a miserable life she had led for the past ten years. Today she finally felt like a human being again.

The other fitness bloggers who were crying nodded silently with sympathy.

Those nutritionists who were crying were so embarrassed.

The scene was extremely chaotic.

People who don't know the truth look very embarrassed, as if they are acting.

Actually, it’s not really acting.

You get what you pay for. For those fitness bloggers, since they have chosen this path, body fat percentage and figure are their means of making a living.

Many people really do eat according to a healthy diet for years, and some even go so far as not to eat carbohydrates or fats for several years, but their daily food intake is not much different from that of a tortured person.

The healthier something is, the worse it tastes. Light meals, fat-reducing meals, and meal replacements are no different from grass before adding mushrooms.

Suddenly.

The familiar grass tasted as good as ordinary meals.

The taste buds that have been dormant for many years are awakened.

Ordinary people simply cannot experience that kind of excitement.

If there is any comparison, it can only be the feeling of taking the first bite of an apple after many days of fasting.

After taking a sip, I felt the juice bursting on my tongue. It was unbearable at first, and then the sour, sweet, and fruity aroma came all at once...

To use a less appropriate metaphor, it's like an old smoker who has quit smoking for many years lighting up another cigarette, or like an old hooligan who has abstained from sex for many years doing that again.

There is a forbidden thrill of letting go and then picking up again.

The scariest thing is that this desire is benign...
-
why?

Because there is a display screen hanging above my head.

It shows a laboratory being live-streamed, where thermal tests are being conducted simultaneously.

What kind of ingredients did the nutritionist use here and in what quantities?

The laboratory put the same materials into the container.

Including vinegar in vinaigrette, and of course, fresh mushrooms.

Then put them all into the calorimeter to test the heat.

Ke Shaotong gave science lectures on site while conducting experiments.

"To find out how many calories a serving of food contains, there are two ways."

"One is to refer to the calorie table and list the calorie formula."

"This method is simple and convenient, but there will be a slight error. Generally, food companies will use this method to fill in the calories on the packaging, and the Food and Drug Administration also recognizes it."

"The other method is to actually do experiments, which is troublesome and expensive, but the values ​​obtained are absolutely true."

"We are using a real test method at the press conference today. Please look at the big screen——"

The laboratory placed the food samples, with and without fresh shiitake mushrooms, in insulated containers filled with oxygen and surrounded by water.

This container is called a calorimeter, also known as a calorimeter.

Inside the calorimeter, the food sample will be completely burned.

The heat generated by the combustion is used to heat a standard mass of water.

The temperature of the water is then measured, which represents the number of calories in the food.

For example, if the water temperature increases by 20°C, the food being tested contains 20 calories.

This method is intuitive, scientific and standard.

As for the results, there is almost no difference.

The first light meal, the one with chicken breast, without mushrooms, has 281 kcal.

286 kcal with fresh mushrooms.

The second "not full" meal, with mango, has 223 kcal and 229 kcal respectively.

The third meal contains 380 kcal and 389 kcal respectively.

The gap between the two is in single digits.

Because shiitake mushrooms are extracted from shiitake mushrooms, and 100 grams of shiitake mushrooms only have 26 kcal, so the difference is naturally not that big.

In order to make a comparison, while explaining, Ke Shaotong asked the laboratory to test the rice with gravy.

A regular takeout dish of green pepper and shredded pork with rice.

The test showed that the calorie content was as high as 825 kcal.

The contrast between the two is very obvious.

The sound of people watching outside gasping for air could be heard one after another. It really opened my eyes, it turns out that light meals really do work.

And the customers who just received a large amount of candy from Maomaotou.

Some people were unsure, and some were just trying to stir up trouble, so they suggested trying how many calories the cat head candy contains.

There actually is one in the laboratory.

I actually let you try it out...
