中餐在英国的名声非常差，许多英国人认为中餐米饭含量太高，肉菜油腻，长期食用会导致心脏病，造成肥胖。但是英国中餐专家罗琳·克利索德却表示事实正相反：如果合理烹调，吃中餐不但健康，而且饱腹，还能防病和延寿。
这位专家在她的书《为什么中国人不计算卡路里》中坚称，真正的中餐不会让人肥胖。中国肥胖率上升，主要原因是摄取了太多含糖量高、过度加工的西方食物。以下是克利索德在书中揭示的中餐的奥秘，还有两位西方营养学专家帕特里克·霍福德和伊恩·马贝对中餐给出的评价。
1. Think of as
在中国，蔬菜也是主菜
than an to meat or fish, the treat as meals in their own right, than add-ons, as in the West.
在西方，蔬菜一般只作为肉类或鱼类的配菜，而在中餐里，蔬菜也被当成主菜来食用。
says: ” make up half of what’s on your plate in any given meal, so this fits with the diet.”
霍福德表示：“蔬菜应该占到每餐的一半，中餐在这点上做得很好。”
2. Fill up on foods
吃饱靠主食
rice, which is low in fat and high in and fibre, , it is to eat until you are full. Low-carb diets to burn fat, but says that carbs with food that is in fat and lower in is not a long-term to loss.
大米具有低脂高营养高纤维的特点，如果没有大米，你是不会吃到饱的。克利索德认为，虽然少吃碳水化合物据说能燃烧脂肪，但如果用高脂低营养食物来取代碳水化合物，长期看来不利于减轻体重。
3. Eat until you are full
吃吃吃，吃到饱。
The eat until they are full, and then stop. often take a feast-and- to – the week and over the , or lunch to make room for cake, The tend to eat three good meals every day.
中国人在吃饱之前不会停下。西方人则是饥一顿饱一顿，他们在工作日吃得很少，在周末就放开了吃。还有些西方人不吃中饭，留着肚子吃蛋糕。而中国人一般每天三顿都要吃饱。
says: ” that a meal has a high of fibre-rich and a of and , which a meal would, then you eat until you are full. But the of high sugar, carbs and high fat for more food to be eaten in a short space of time the body’s ” kicks in and tells you to stop.”
霍福德说：“中餐中富含纤维的蔬菜比例较高，兼顾了蛋白质和碳水化合物，而且中国人会吃到饱为止。而西方大量高糖食品、精制碳水化合物和高脂肪食品容易让人吃得过快，在大脑还没有接收到身体的吃饱信号前，西方人容易吃下更多食物。
4. Take food
吃流食
Soup, or a soup-based dish, is at every meal, often in the form of a , zhou. diets can be very dry, and by us to drink more water, which the would never do with a meal. , they make a food part of the meal.
汤或粥等汤汤水水的食物，在中餐里很常见。西方人的饮食往往都很干，因此营养学家建议人们多喝水来弥补。中国人吃饭的时候就不喝水，他们喝有营养的汤。
says: ” is often with . Also, does tend to fill you up. So soups help you your .”
霍福德说：“口渴经常和饥饿搞混。而且，喝汤能让人有饱腹感，所以有助于控制食欲。”
5. Bring yin and yang into your
厨房里的阴阳概念
A good diet yin (wet and moist) and yang (dry and crisp) . Yin foods cool the body down, while yang foods – meat, spicy , wine, – heat it up. The , multi-dish to in China means most meals yin and yang in .
中餐讲究阴（潮湿）和阳（干脆）的平衡。阴性食物让身体凉下来，阳性食物（肉类、辣菜、酒和咖啡）让身体温热起来。中国人会一起分享多盘菜，每种菜都吃一些会让身体达到阴阳平衡。
says: “Most foods are seen as yang, as yin. The of these two helps blood sugar, which is the key to good and gain.”
霍福德说：“多数蛋白质食物都被归为阳性食物，而碳水化合物则被归为阴性食物。两者相结合有助于稳定血糖，这对于补充精力和控制体重增加很关键。”
6. Raw power? not
生吃食物最健康？不见得。
don’t eat raw salad. While raw food has a of than food, says that food makes its for the body to take on. The is to too much raw food; this can lead to and gain.
中国人不吃生拌沙拉。虽然烹饪会降低食物中的维生素浓度，但克利索德表示，专家忽略了一点，那就是轻微烹饪过的食物的营养更容易被人体吸收。人的肠胃无法消化太多生食物，吃太多生食物会导致胀气和体重增加。
7. Use food to keep fit
食疗好
foods as : to and cold; to . The is to all the are to allow , or chi, to the body.
中医认为许多食物都有各自的医用价值：辣椒帮助消化并能驱除寒冷，大蒜可以中和毒素。最终的目的是确保所有的器官都能正常运转，让体内气血可以通畅运行。
says: “Two years ago, said, ‘Let food be your .’ But in the West . “
霍福德说：“两千年前，古希腊医生希波克拉底就认为应该用食物作为药物。但是西方人已经完全忘记了这点。”
8. Drink green tea
喝绿茶
Green tea , aids and . have found that it also free , which cause and heart .
绿茶具有消除毒素、帮助消化和减缓饥饿的效果。科学家已经发现绿茶还具有消除自由基的效果，而自由基会引发癌症和心脏病。
says: “I’m a great in green and teas. Green tea is an , but it will only help you lose if you drink 40 cups a day. “
马贝说：“我认为喝绿茶和花草茶对身体很有好处。绿茶是重要的抗氧化剂，但一天得喝够40杯才能帮助人减肥。”
says: “, when the want cup of tea, they’ll keep the same and add water to the pot. That’s like only using one a day – which means much less .”
霍福德指出：“传统上，当中国人想再喝一杯茶时，他们会在茶壶里不断续水。他们每天通常只用一个茶袋，所以摄入的咖啡因也比较少。”
