I think I am in love

Well one of the reason's that Asian's are so slim on the majority (there is no obese problem in thier contry) is due to mainly 2 things. Thier diet (as in what they eat thier whole life) My Japanese and Korean friends were always amazed at how often we (Americans) ate meat. That included Beef, Pork, and Poultry. They explained to me that while are meal is 60% meat thier's is 60% rice and they have meat only half the dinners we do.

Second they are involed in sometime of activity from an early age. Range from sports to music. Anything that keeps them active.

If you read the following article you'll see why Japanese (as well as Mediterranean) food is so healthy:

I personally like it very much but I have to admit I'm a bit biased, I seem to like everything that's Japanese. :p

The typical diet of countries like Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece is very healthy as well but people have been eating more and more fast food and we also have our share of obesity problems. Here, 50% of the population is overweight and 30% is obese.
At home I only eat fish, and I eat meat only when I eat fast food (like a delicious McRoyal Deluxe). I also eat a lot of vegetables, rice or pasta and fruit at the end of every meal.
The truth is I like eating healthy food and I can eat fast food without feeling guilty. I might not lose the 7lbs I'm trying to lose but at least I keep my figure and it's good for my health.
