The Asian Diet

Many people in today’s society are overweight and often turn to drastic measures to loose weight. Some people starve themselves while others resort to the Atkins diet or try unsafe weight loss pills. There is no need for this; there is already a diet out there that is both safe and sustainable for permanent weight loss and management. I call this diet the Asian diet because it is based on the traditional food choices that typical Asian people eat. Below this article I have included a link to the Asian diet pyramid which shows that the typical Asian diet is high in grains such as rice and noodles followed by lots of fruits, vegetables, and legumes. Eating a large portion of grains will give you a lot of slow burning energy to get through your daily activities. You should notice that meats are not included daily in the Asian diet but instead monthly or sparingly instead seafood is consumed which is often healthier thanks to omega 3 fatty acids. Another important thing is daily physical activity this is an absolute must if you are not exercising you are doing a great disservice to you body. Instead of sitting around on the couch watching tv you should take a walk even if you don’t want to go outside you can do bodyweight exercises in your own house so there is no excuse for not exercising a little bit everyday. The traditional Asian diet is superior to any fad diet you may try because it offers all the nutrients you need and allows you to eat a great variety of food. Stay tuned for more information on food selection and exercises.
