Losing Weight without Dieting: Losing Weight and Fat The Traditional Chinese Way

If you look at photos of Americans and Europeans in the early part of the last century or after cameras were invented in the 1800s, you will see virtually no overweight people of any age. For hundreds of years, our diet seemed to prevent body fat from accumulating, but as the food industry changed and our diet changed, we became fatter and fatter, until we arrived to a point where body fat and obesity has become an epidemic. It not only destroys our physical appearance, it puts us at great risk to our health. Now, losing weight and fat has become a priority. For most people, losing weight without dieting would be highly preferable.
It is apparent that despite the effort of western doctors, weight loss strategies and university research, we cannot discover the secret to keeping our bodies slim and healthy. Obviously the answer to this vital question lies elsewhere. The author, Brian Cox, discovered the secret of staying slim quite by accident when he visited Chongqing, China, a city of 15 million people with virtually no fat people. Westernization is gradually changing that, but when he first visited in 2001, he only saw one, slightly overweight person. No one there had ever seen an obese person. Furthermore, according to a study by Cornell University, they eat more calories per day than the average American. That’s right; the slimmest people in the world eat more calories than the fattest people in the world. This book will tell you how they do it and how you can do it.
