subject: Chinese Diet Facts - Is It Really Possible to Weight With a Simple Chinese Diet [print this page] What's the truth behind Chinese diets? Can I really lose weight by eating all that greasy Chinese food I see at buffets and takeaway shops downtown? It's no secret that America ranks as one of the most overweight nations in the world. This is a striking contrast to the low levels of obesity found in China and Chinese people and it only raises questions as to how this is possible. 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.
What's the big deal with traditional Chinese food versus buffet food? Buffet food is full of grease, fat and other nasty things, which makes it obvious why this kind of Chinese food is as bad as eating other takeaway food. Chinese people traditionally do not eat the food in buffets. Chinese food in America has undergone a process of adaption to suit the palate of the locals, so if the only Chinese food you've ever eaten was from a Chinese buffet, then you haven't tasted traditional Chinese food. Traditional food is much healthier and is what makes so many Chinese people thin.
This is what usually makes up a Chinese diet. Carbs are the last thing on a Chinese person's mind. That's right. They don't stand in the supermarket looking at how many calories are in the thing they are about to purchase. This means they aren't actively looking to see what goes into the food they eat. They go for balance in any food they buy and eat. Just what is balance? It means you won't find a centerpiece in Chinese meals. It is common for Americans to eat meals that consist primarily of one thing, typically meat, and very little of anything else, like vegetables. These kinds of meals have no balance. Most traditional Chinese meals always make sure that everything is kept in proportion. If you learn just one thing from this article, then this is really the key to losing weight with Chinese food. Chinese always make sure they have a healthy dose of vegetables and everything else and this is because of them always striving for balance. Another striking contrast between Western and Chinese meals is how fresh or natural meals in China are. 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 be amazed at the results.
