For many people, it is more difficult for a person to change their eating habits than anything else. Many have lived abroad for a lifetime and still cannot get used to western food.

"Looking at many friends around us, our parents, it is difficult for them to accept new foods. They are reluctant to change their diet for the rest of their lives, because they do not have an open heart, they see less and feel less. They adopt a shielding attitude toward foods that are unfamiliar, unwilling to leave their comfort zone, and will never be able to change themselves," Lin says.

"In fact, changing your diet does not mean that you can't eat delicious Chinese food. You can also eat such food. Just eat less staple food, and you will find that losing weight is not that hard, and in fact can be enjoyable."

According to 2016 edition of the Chinese Residents' Dietary Guidelines the Mediterranean diet, which is globally acclaimed, may be more suitable for Chinese with minor revision of course.

Coarse grains for breakfast, you can eat whole grains (millet, oats, corn, sorghum, buckwheat, various beans, etc.), and can be mixed grains porridge and rice. Use less animal oil, more vegetable oil. Keep a slap amount of fish, chicken and other low-fat meats in your meal, and eat less red meats such as pork, beef, and lamb.

"Many dieters like to calculate their weight every day," Lin says. "The numbers on the scale directly affect their mood every day, but they don't take into account that the figures represent only a temporary set of factors. Losing weight is only a temporary performance. Many people look thinner. But he is still a fat man in his heart, still craving junk food as always, he doesn't like healthy food, he still doesn't have good eating habits, he has a regular schedule, and he doesn't like exercise," says Lin.

"If you can pay more attention to your heart, you can lose weight and it doesn't need a super strong willpower. I never feel that I have strong willpower. I just think that I can change my diet. I just like to exercise.

"If you really want to lose weight once and be healthy for a whole life, you have to change yourself from the bottom of your heart, learn to eat well, earnestly, exercise with your heart, and let yourself fall in love with healthy food and taste healthy food for you. Your body changes, to feel the happiness and changes that exercise brings to you. When you become more and more concentrated with self-control and willpower, these physical and inner changes, these positive and positive feedbacks will let you change your eating habits and living habits a little bit, so that you will be transformed, otherwise, you are really just looking thin."
