Re: WEIGHT LOSS SPECIAL!!!!!
OK guys, I read this in a Health magazine.
Weight Loss the Chinese Way:
- Worship veggies. Have your meat served on veggies instead of rice or noodles.
- Use the "rule of 5" which is pack 5 tastes in your plate: sweet, sour, salty, pungent and bitter. The Chinese believe this helps in weight control.
- Think yin and yang. Yin foods are often steamed and provide a cooling effect. Yang foods are often grilled and warm you. This balance is thought to prevent weight gain.
- Drink hot tea. Warm but not superhot helps burn excess fat. Iced tea can lead to lethargy and obesity.
