How To Enjoy Your Chinese Food The Healthy Way Without Getting Fat

We all love our Chinese food from time to time, but we also know it’s not the healthiest choice.

All those yummy Dim-Sums, battered and deep-fried goodies, the oh-so-good Sweet and Sour sauce, all the greasy sauces — give them to me — and of course, rice and noodles too!

That’s how Chinese food feasts usually go down.

Today I went to an upscale Chinese restaurant for lunch, and yes, there it was all unfolding as I described.

The scene in the restaurant was classic — 15 tables and it was packed.

To my left, a mixed couple — a caucasian man with his Asian wife — he was huge; she wasn’t far behind.

Of course, they had ordered the all-you-can-eat menu. I see nothing but Dim-Sums, and more rice coming and being gobbled down.

There was a big round table in the middle of the restaurant with a middle-aged man taking his 4 kids for lunch.

He was tall and very wide; his kids were small and plump. The noodles, rice, and Dim-Sum kept coming.

As I was taking all of this in, people coming and going, I realized something. I was the only slim person in this establishment, except for one young waitress doing most of the leg work.

While I’m marveling at the scene and people, I keep asking myself. Why are they all overweight? Do they just not care, or do they simply not know what’s causing them to gain weight.

I suppose it’s a bit of both.

The Problem and the Solution.

Problem:

I’ll keep this short:

Wheat — flour — bread — noodles — sugar — rice — PUFA oils.

Solution:

This will take a little longer, but it starts with eliminating all of the above from anything you eat out or at home!

It’s really that simple, and your food will be just as yummy yet healthy and nourishing.

So what the heck did I have for lunch?

I had a 3 egg seafood omelette with spicey chopped chilly sauce, black pepper tenderloin beef, and steamed broccoli with oyster sauce.

It was all wonderfully tasty, and guess what? No rice or noodles, and I still couldn’t finish it all — I had to take half of the omelette home.

After today’s experience, I felt compelled to show you how simple it is to cook healthy “keto foods,” what a week’s worth of meals looks like for me, and how I make it simple.

Notes:

• I cook only with grass-fed cow butter or coconut oil.

• The base of each meal is pretty much always garlic, onions, hot chili peppers, salt, and pepper, and the rest is up to your imagination.

• It takes no longer than 10 to 20 minutes to make any of my dishes, and as you see, I always cook more to have leftovers the next day for my lunch, topped with eggs any style I feel like.

• This method drastically cuts down the cooking time and makes life so much easier.

Every meal, be it the freshly made dinner or the re-heated lunch with eggs, is delicious and packed with all the healthy nutrients you need.

Bonus: You save a lot of money this way!

In Summary.

Eating out and enjoying your favorite foods is simple enough if you’re aware of what’s good and bad for you. Substitute the rice and noodles with a healthy omelette, for example, and eat more veggies and meats.

However, the best way is to cook yourself following my above-suggested meal plan system, which saves time, is simple to do, and inexpensive.

Your body, weight, and mind will thank you.
