The Roujiamo, a traditional Shaanxi snack, has been included in the "national version" of the weight loss diet! Scientific weight management can also have a "Shaanxi flavor"
In 2025, the "Year of Weight Management" has become a hot topic of discussion among the public. The latest "Adult Obesity Dietary Guidelines (2024 Edition)" released by the National Health Commission, a recipe with a strong "Pyrotechnic gas" flavor has drawn widespread attention. Surprisingly, the Shaanxi traditional delicacies, Roujiamo, Yangrou Paomo, and Saizi Noodles, have all been included in the category of "foods that can be eaten during scientific weight loss". This move breaks the stereotype that "weight loss requires avoiding carbohydrates", making healthy eating more accessible to the general public.
The Roujiamo's "counteroffensive "in the weight loss diet: scientific combination is the key
For a long time, people trying to lose weight have shunned traditional high-carb and high-fat snacks.However, the new version of the "Guide" has legitimized the name of roujiamo. - scientific weight loss does not mean fasting but rather emphasizes reasonable combination and moderate intake. If the Roujiamo uses lean meats (such as skinless chicken breast, lean beef, or lean pork), reduces fatty meats and sauces, and is paired with vegetables, it can lower the calorie count while retaining its flavor.
"Weight loss doesn't mean giving up local flavors", regionalized diets are easier to stick to
The "Guidelines" emphasize "tailoring to local conditions and individual constitutions", recommending weight loss plans that align with local dietary habits for different regions. For residents in the northwest, dishes like roujiamo and mutton soup are already part of their daily diet. Forcing them to switch to "internet-famous" low-fat meals like salads and chicken breasts might lead to giving up halfway due to the unfamiliar taste.
Experts from the Chinese Nutrition Society state: "The core of scientific weight loss is energy balance, not demonizing certain types of food. As long as the total calorie intake is controlled and the ingredients are properly balanced, roujiamo can definitely be part of a healthy diet."
Netizens are buzzing: "Finally, we can eat roujiamo with confidence!"
The news quickly made it to the top of social media hot search lists, and netizens couldn't help but joke::
"Shaanxi people are overjoyed! No need to give up roujiamo when losing weight!"
"This is true Chinese wisdom! Combining traditional delicacies with scientific nutrition, no need to say goodbye to delicious food when losing weight."
"No need to chew grass when losing weight, no need to be overly strict with your mouth when managing weight."
Conclusion: Healthy Eating Returns to "Pyrotechnic gas"
The inclusion of roujiamo in the "national version" of the weight loss diet may seem unexpected, but it is actually a rational return to scientific nutrition. It conveys an important concept: Losing weight doesn't have to be like a monk on a strict diet. As long as you master the scientific methods, traditional delicacies can also help you achieve a healthy figure.
