醫師親身實證9年不復胖 [0:00]
The speaker, Dr. Chen, shares his personal experience of losing weight and maintaining it for nine years. He recounts his past struggles with weight, reaching 92 kilograms and suffering from metabolic syndrome. Dr. Chen highlights the difficulty of long-term weight management, noting that only 5% of people succeed in keeping the weight off for at least three years, which is the medical standard for successful weight loss. He emphasizes that the video will offer a practical, evidence-based approach to diet without promoting products or requiring calorie counting.
免算熱量的211餐盤法 [3:08]
Dr. Chen introduces the 211 meal plate method, a simple approach to portion control and balanced eating. This method involves visually dividing your plate into four sections: half for vegetables, a quarter for protein, and a quarter for whole-grain carbohydrates. He clarifies that vegetables should primarily be leafy greens and non-starchy options, while protein sources should be lean meats, tofu, or legumes. The carbohydrate portion should consist of whole grains like brown rice or sweet potatoes, avoiding refined grains. The 211 method simplifies healthy eating by turning nutrition into a visual game, naturally controlling calorie intake and ensuring balanced nutrition.

The importance of drinking 500cc of water before each meal is emphasized. Dr. Chen addresses the common misconception that drinking water before meals dilutes stomach acid and impairs digestion, clarifying that this is generally not a concern for healthy adults. He explains two key benefits of this practice: first, it activates the sympathetic nervous system, boosting metabolism by 20-30% for several hours. Second, the water physically occupies space in the stomach, promoting satiety and reducing overall food intake. He shares a case study of a patient with diabetes and obesity who experienced significant weight loss and improved health simply by drinking water before meals.
讓血糖平穩的黃金進食順序 [7:54]
Dr. Chen discusses the optimal eating order for weight loss and blood sugar control: water, protein, vegetables, then carbohydrates, followed by fruit. He explains that prioritizing protein consumption stimulates the release of GLP-1, a hormone that promotes satiety and slows gastric emptying. This helps to stabilize blood sugar levels and prevent the rapid spikes caused by consuming carbohydrates first. He advises that fruit should be eaten last and in moderation due to its high sugar content, treating it as a dessert to satisfy cravings without derailing weight loss efforts.

Practical advice is given for applying the 211 method when eating at convenience stores, cafeterias, or when dining out. At convenience stores, Dr. Chen suggests combining a salad with vinaigrette dressing, a protein source like chicken breast or tea eggs, and a small sweet potato or nuts for a balanced meal. In cafeterias, he recommends requesting half the usual rice portion and filling the plate with vegetables and lean protein, avoiding fried or heavily sauced dishes. For social gatherings, he advises drinking water or consuming a light, protein-rich snack beforehand, prioritizing lean protein and vegetables, and limiting alcohol consumption.
突破減肥停滯期的兩大招 [14:02]
Dr. Chen provides two strategies for overcoming weight loss plateaus. The first is to incorporate 16/8 intermittent fasting, which involves restricting eating to an eight-hour window each day. The second strategy is to adjust the 211 meal plate ratio by further reducing the carbohydrate portion or temporarily eliminating it to increase the proportion of vegetables and protein. He also addresses occasional dietary slip-ups, advising against self-blame and encouraging a return to healthy eating habits the following day. He concludes by emphasizing that weight loss is a long-term journey focused on health and well-being, not just appearance.
