subject: Chinese Diet Myth - Can Someone Really Lose Weight By Following a Simple Chinese Diet [print this page] What's the truth behind Chinese diets? Does all that greasy food at the Chinese buffet actually make me thin? Most people know of the high levels of obesity found in Western nations. Contrast this with people living in China or of Chinese heritage and you start to wonder how or why this is so. This doesn't mean there are no overweight Chinese people, but they are very uncommon. So what is the secret to losing weight by eating 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. Traditional Chinese food is secret to losing weight.
How is traditional Chinese food any different to food found in buffets? Buffet food is full of grease, fat and other nasty things, which makes it obvious as to why eating this kind of food will never help you lose weight. Chinese people traditionally do not eat the food in buffets. Chinese food in Western countries has been changed to suit local tastes, 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 the reason why there are so few overweight Chinese.
Traditional Chinese food, or a Chinese diet, usually goes something like this. Carbs are the last thing on a Chinese person's mind. That's right. They don't check out food packaging to see the amount of calories the food they are about to buy contains. 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 does balance mean exactly? It means you won't find a centerpiece in Chinese meals. Most westerners have a huge chunk of meat on their plate and everything else pales in comparison to the sheer size of the meat. Balance is not present in meals like this. Most traditional Chinese meals always make sure that everything is kept in proportion. If you remember just one thing here, then this is probably the key point to a healthy Chinese diet. Chinese aren't afraid of vegetables 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.
Following a Chinese diet and losing weight is simple once you see the concept behind their meals. A quick look at how traditional meals are made and it is no wonder 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.
