A Guide to Weight Loss Friendly Chinese Food

Majority of the foods which we purchase at the local Chinese place are either deep fried or pan fried. This means that the meal will be laden with trans fats, calories and cholesterol. Well, in this article I will reveal several tips which will help you make the right decision when ordering Chinese food.

First of all, you should never eat too much. Remember that two portions are equal to the size of a light bulb, whereas, one portion can fit in the wrapper of a cupcake. Steamed rice is always a great choice. Rice is low in fat, and calories. Just make sure that you don't order fried rice or lo-main. Fried rice is in fact fried which already means that it is laden with fat, calories and cholesterol. along with your rice you should try to order a wide array of veggies stir friend in minimal oil. Chinese restaurants tend to use a lot of oil and sauces which is why their food always tastes so great. So be sure to specify that you would like your food with light oil and light sauce. Be sure to stay away from fried chicken. We all know how delicious it is, but it surely will not benefit your health or your waistline. Skip the extra sauces. They are often laden with sodium.
