Chinese food has a bad reputation in the UK. It is believed that rice-based diet with fatty meat course can directly lead to obesity and heart disease. Soe says Chinese food expert Luolangkeli, if cooked well, Chinese food will achieve the opposite effect. Chinese people’s diet and can eat healthy and be able to fight with the disease and to longevity. In her book, “Why China does not count calories,” said the authentic Chinese food does not make you fat. Can be observed is that raising the level of obesity in China is actually processed by the excessive sugar and eat too much a result of Western-style food. Here are some of the disclosure of her book, diet secrets, as well as two Western nutrition experts, Patrick Holford and Yian Ma Bolkiah view.

First, not calories. Chinese is not with the “calorie” means the same as the inherent argument. They are the food source of nutrition rather than as a potential weight gain thing. A survey in 1990 found that Chinese people consumed 30 percent more calories than Americans, but the activity is not necessarily more than Americans. Kerry shuttle that its secret is that the Chinese people do not eat sugar, there is no nutrition, only calories of food.

Holford said: “The latest research shows that weight loss to control the heat better than low-fat diet with low glycemic load diet is more effective, and low glycemic load is precisely the characteristics of the traditional Chinese diet. Marbaud said:” The Diet Coke of heat is a calorie, fruit butter is 340 calories of heat. What exactly does the body good? Yet it’s a see at a glance, no brains. Avocado to the human body to provide monounsaturated fatty acids and omega -6 fatty acids, thereby enhancing the body’s metabolic rate. ”

Second, the vegetables as delicious. Chinese people do not put vegetables, meat and fish as a foil, on the contrary to treat it as the main course on the table.

Marbaud said: “I very much admired the combination of protein and carbohydrate approach. Vegetables are not rich in complex carbohydrates, but it is a kind of cuisine. If a meal among the overwhelming majority of vegetables and add some protein , you will eat one meal a very delicious meal. “Holford said:” The vegetables should occupy the half of the plate, which fits very well with Chinese food. ”

Third, the staple food to eat. Kerry Soe said, rice is low in fat but high content of nutrients and fiber, there is no rice, we can not eat. Low-carbohydrate diet will burn fat. But Kerry shuttle that from a long-term perspective, with more fat, less nutritious food to replace the carbohydrate is not a good way to lose weight.

Marbaud said: “I do not agree with this view. With rice, the staple food of the Chinese people some squat, because they eat too much rice. But from an economic point of view, the lifestyle is good, because the Atkins doctor * spend a lot of diet. ”

Fourth, do not eat does not stop. The Chinese eat eaten Caixing. Westerners often have a sense of guilt and therefore eat eat too much – usually atone eat, eat at a stretch on weekends. Or they do not eat lunch, freeing the stomach to eat cookies. Chinese people are three meals a day. As long as a meal to eat large quantities of vegetables rich in fiber, protein and carbohydrate balance – this is the characteristics of Chinese food, you can then eat until you eat up. However, if encountered high-sugar, refined carbohydrates (white rice) and a combination of high-fat food, you had better pay attention, because these foods ranging from loss of appetite center stopped, just a short time so that more food into you body.

Marbaud said: ” ‘eat’ What do you mean? A large part of the concept of submerged in the extravagance and waste in the Western world. However, to pay attention, so that the brain receives fullness after the release of hormones CCK will take some time, so wait for you sense of fed into their own in the time, you actually already eaten. ”

Fifth, the flow of food to eat soup. Tonne to have a soup or a soup lunch, a common form of porridge. Western food is relatively dry, nutritionists asked us to drink plenty of water to make up for the Chinese people do not need this. On the contrary, the Chinese people will stream nutritious food as part of the meal. This is a good way to can vegetables are eaten.

Holford said: “thirsty and hungry and often come side by side. Drink will let you have a feeling of fullness, so soup can help you control the appetite.” Marbaud said: “The soup and food, I pay more attention to soup. Prawns soup, or other fermented foods are probiotics will help to the food you eat into the nutrients released. ”

Sixth, the yin and yang into the kitchen. Good Chinese food pay attention to yin (wet tide) yang (just) a balance of raw materials. Cold food makes the body cool down, yang hot food — meat, spicy vegetables, wine, coffee and let the body heat. China has several sec-dish meal, this means that the majority of Chinese food can eat a balance of yin and yang.

Marbaud said: “People should be complex carbohydrates, protein and grains with intake. By doing so for many reasons, one of which is the experience of eating Shiran. There is a British-style Chinese food to eat chicken and cashew nuts is a good example of both soft chicken, cashew nuts are hard to eat rice. “Holford said:” Most protein foods are considered yang, carbohydrates are yin. yin-yang combination will help stabilize blood sugar, which is to maintain effective energy and to minimize the key to weight gain. ”

Seventh, the lettuce may not be good. Chinese people do not eat chromophore pull, lettuce vitamins more than the ready meal. Kerry Soe said that the study overlooked the following point, which is slightly cooked dishes, their nutrition, more easily absorbed by the body. Retention of energy so you can accomplish other tasks. The stomach can not digest a lot of lettuce, which can lead to physical swelling, weight gain.

Holford said: “The more health the better. Lettuce nutrition more, despite the slightly cooked vegetables makes a higher bioavailability of nutrients.” Marbaud said: “I do not agree with this view. Eat lettuce with a big salad will make people a feeling of affection. I do not believe the British will generally cooked salad to eat. ”

Eighth, eating healthy. Chinese out diet prescription for medical treatment, such as promoting digestion, and Qu-han pepper, garlic detoxification. Ultimate aim is to ensure that all organs working well, so you can air circulation in the body smooth.

Holford said: “Two thousand years ago Hippocrates said, ‘to food as medicine’. We in the West forget something like this. Peasant society on the food cycle and how to support the Food and greater respect for human life. ”

Ninth, regular consumption of green tea. Green tea detoxification, aid digestion and also relieve their hunger. Scientists have discovered that green tea can also cause cancer and heart disease with the fight against free radicals.

Marbaud said: “I very much admired green tea and other teas. Green tea is a very important antioxidants, but drinking on 40 cups a day, it will only help you lose weight. I strongly advocate the occasional drink skim latte or, as the I like to drink every morning. “Holford said:” Traditionally, Chinese people want to have another cup of tea when the cup is usually used to make to the water. In other words, only one day pouch of tea on the list, which also much less caffeine. ”

Tenth, exercise may resume. Regular Tai Chi class of light training. Training sweating may lose weight, but the body been stretched too tightly. Positive aerobic training is a yang – because it makes the body heat, while breathing exercises are yin.

Holford said: “The dinner train will promote metabolism, control appetite. Although no one has come up with a set of training, ask for the promotion of the gas measurement method, but it really really easy to experience. Many studies have shown the benefits of gas, as well as those to bring the Gas Training immunity. “Marbaud said:” Tai Chi will give you balance, a sense of quiet and peaceful. sweating in the gym while on the contrary, I can not. I am very dull, shallow, modern. I thought we were right their own views on what kind of body is confused, and we look more important than our feelings. ”

Note: * The Atkins diet was the late U.S. doctor Robert Atkins in the last century created the seventies diet. He advocates eating less rice, flour and other starchy foods that are high volume, eat high-protein food in order to achieve rapid weight loss results. According to his theory, starch in carbohydrates will stimulate insulin secretion, gave people a feeling of hunger and increased food intake, the result will lead to weight gain.
