Traditional Chinese Fat Cow Beef (100 G)

Choose plain, thin-sliced fat cow beef and limit the portion; avoid sweet marinades, honey-based sauces, and sugary dipping sauces.

Build the meal around bok choy, spinach, broccoli, mushrooms, cabbage, and tofu rather than noodles, rice, dumplings, or fried sides.

Use a clear, unsweetened hot-pot broth instead of a sweet, creamy, or starch-thickened soup base.

For dipping, use vinegar, chili, garlic, scallions, sesame, or a small amount of soy sauce instead of sweet chili or hoisin sauce.

Eat vegetables and tofu first, then the beef, and slow the pace of the meal to reduce the size of the rise.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating, if safe for you, and monitor your response to refine portions and sauce choices.
