subject: Chinese Diet Secrets - Can You Really Lose Weight With a Simple Chinese Diet [print this page] Is there any use in a Chinese diet? Can I really lose weight by eating all that greasy Chinese food I see at buffets and takeaway shops downtown? It's a well known fact that America is one of the most overweight nations in the world. Compare this with the extremely low levels of obesity found in Chinese people and you start to wonder why. It is not as if you never see an overweight Chinese person, but they are a minority and China definitely doesn't suffer from the same dangerous obesity problem that America and other Western nations currently do. 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 the kind of food we're talking about here isn't the type you find at the typical Chinese buffet people so like to frequent. Traditional Chinese food is secret to losing weight.
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. The truth is that the food you find at the buffet in no way represents what Chinese people eat at home (no matter which country they live in) or even in restaurants in China. 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.
Traditional Chinese food, or a Chinese diet, usually goes something like this. Chinese people don't count carbs. 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. Balance is always key to Chinese meals. Just what does balance mean exactly? Balance means Chinese people traditionally do not over indulge. 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 learn just one thing from this article, then this is the most important point. 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 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 find that losing weight with a Chinese diet is much easier than you thought.
