Is there any use in a Chinese diet? Is it possible that Chinese people are so thin because of all the food they eat from Chinese buffets? It's a well known fact that America is one of the most overweight nations in the world. Contrast this with people living in China or of Chinese heritage and you start to wonder how or why this is so. There are overweight Chinese people, but they are a minority. So is the secret to staying thin found in Chinese food? How is it possible that the food you see in Chinese buffets can help you lose weight? The short answer is yes, you really can lose weight by eating Chinese, but you shouldn't be eating Chinese buffet food if you want to lose weight. The secret to losing weight the Chinese way is with traditional Chinese food.

So what is traditional Chinese food and how does it differ from what you normally get at the local Chinese buffet? The food you find at your buffet is usually very greasy and fatty, which makes it obvious as to why eating this kind of food will never help you lose weight. Most Chinese people have never eaten the so-called Chinese food found in these buffets. Chinese food in buffets has been altered to suit the tastes of locals, so if the only Chinese food you've ever eaten was from a Chinese buffet, then you've never eaten real traditional Chinese food. Traditional food is much healthier and is the reason why there are so few overweight Chinese.

Traditional Chinese food, or a Chinese diet, goes something like the following. The last thing Chiense people worry about are carbs. That's right. They don't look at food packaging to see what it contains before they make a purchase. They don't spend hours reading the fine print on food packaging looking at saturated fat or sugar levels. They go for balance in any food they buy and eat. Just what does balance mean exactly? It means you won't find a centerpiece in Chinese meals. Many western people will eat meals that consist of a large piece of meat with very little of anything else. Balance is not present in meals like this. Traditional Chinese meals consist of a little of everything. If you learn just one thing from this article, then this is probably the key point to a healthy Chinese diet. Chinese always make sure they have a healthy dose of vegetables and everything else and this relates back to the concept of balance. Another point which needs to be mentioned is that Chinese usually eat not only healthy but also very fresh and unprocessed foods. Very rarely will you see any kind of processed or prepared food in meals.

Hopefully you can see that losing weight by following a Chinese diet is possible. Once you take a look at what usually makes up a traditional or typical Chinese meal or recipe, it isn't hard to see why. Keeping a balance and remembering that you are eating real food and not something that was prepared or processed in advance is key to understanding why you rarely, if ever, see overweight Chinese people. If the only Chinese food you know of is the kind found in buffets, then why not try to cook your own traditional Chinese food? You might find that losing weight with a Chinese diet is much easier than you thought.
