Why the Chinese Don’t Count Calories by Lorraine Clissold

Highlighted by isaacmao

So just what is healthy about Chinese food?  While it has a reputation for being greasy and fattening in the West, the orange chicken and “beef and broccoli in brown sauce” of Chinese take-away is definitely not part of a traditional Chinese diet.  Instead, Chinese cuisine incorporates a more holistic approach that does away with counting calories and guilt for having ingested too many calories.  One startling fact stood out in her talk–the Chinese actually eat 30% more than Americans, yet remain 20% lighter–something that is supported in The China Study.
