why are most asian people usually skinny if in almost every meal they have rice?
This is just my opinion, but I think most asian people (that are skinny) probably don't sit around all day watching tv. In my experience at least, people from asian countries have a stronger work ethic and they work a lot harder during the day. They work longer days too. A lot of bigger corporations have exercise time scheduled into the working day. They also walk and ride bikes instead of driving which probably gets them more active than us with our cars. And it isn't just rice. I don't think there is as much "junk" in their diets as there is in ours.
Speaking from experience, my daughter-in-law is Chinese and only been in Australia for a little over a year. Yes, rice accompanies all their dishes but the amount of vegetables, just cooked, that they also have every day balances out the rice. I have found this to be true anyway. Every night for 2 months I ate like a chinese royal. Rice cooked in a rice cooker with 3 or 4 accompanying dishes. OMG my insides have never been better. The variety and amount of vegetables was mind boggling. The chinese will eat rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with other food and in particular vegetables. They eat very little meat and of that very very little red meat. My daughter-in-law is 45kg and ate much more than I do BUT she never stopped. From the moment she got up in the morning until night time. They do have a great worth ethic and live to make money. I found she didn't know how to have 'fun', which is sad but we taught her and now in Perth my son and she have fun especially with their new Nintendo Wii. Regarding Damien's rice with his 5 star dinner. I think it was the proportion he had when weighed up against other food and the way it was presented/cooked. The Chinese also, if they are feeling unwell in their tummy, will eat a rice soup called 'congee' which is bland and watery and horrid (IMHO) just cooked rice and water, hot. It works but I couldn't eat it, BLEAH! As far as junk food goes, they have very sweet 'tooth's and the junk food they brought back from China last year filled boxes and boxes and was disgusting (except for the chocolate filled tiny teddy type biscuits ).
We had korean homestays but they werent that thin. But yeah a lot of asians are really petite and thin (and they all get the shiniest hair so lucky!)) I hate cooked veges tho.. i can eat heaps raw but if they are cooked i dont feel like eating them
This show has been rating really well this week, via the NZ episodes. Some were saying that the ratings for this season were lower then last year, but I think they are quickly catching up to about the same or even more, after a slow start. 1.2's all week so far, with a 1.5ish for the weigh-in last Sunday. Not bad!
It should be interesting tonight to see who is the last person to win the challenge tonight and have to go home...i'm not sure if I would put money on it but it might be Chris's turn to get kicked!

The only reason I said this was because my background is Chinese, and we eat rice everyday (although I do favour "Aussie" food) and yeah, my dad and stepmum eat about 1/2 a cup of rice a day and they are skinny. Personally I think that the body knows how to control the rice because they have had it since birth.... but yeah.... just thinking out loud.
And as for the "cangee" (thats what I my parents call it) it truely is the most horrid thing you can ever eat! It takes me about 45 mins to eat a bowl of it...
Omg how funny are courtney and chris tonight, chris: "I'd let courtney get too far ahead. I was panicking, he couldn't win, then I'd be sent home" disregard the other 4 then chriss.. courtney- "I had to beat chris.. I had to!"
OO I hope courney beats chris and pati and damien though! at least..
What plate of food at the end of the challenge do you guys thing had the most calories and which one the least. I'd go the salmon for the least and the 2 cups of diet mousse or whatever the heck it was for the highest (or the sausage). If it's the 2 cups of diet dairy stuff then Chris is gone but from the snippets of them speaking after the challenge I don't think it is Chris who goes (damn) How great did they all do and Patti coming second I paid attention to how their names are spelled this week and it is Shannan and Kimberlie (I think I always spelled them wrong) oh, and Munnalita. I wanted to be on that beautiful river in the canoe! I was hoping Chris would be too weak to even finish the challenge Gotta wait until Monday to see the elimination
Lol suzi chris would rather die than not finish seriously, he would finish no matter what!
Darn wanted pati to lose
so there is:
fish 2x yoghurt 1 scoop peanut butter sausages crackers and dip 3x egg
I'd say sausage is the worst it looked fatty and disgusting and salmon or the crackers n dip r the best... peanut butter is 3rd worst I think the yoghurt 2nd worst?
I didn't quite catch the weights of everything, and take notice of whether it was light peanut butter or not, but I'd choose in order of best to worst:
1. Le snak bikkies & cheese 2. Peanut Butter (if about a tablespoon?) 3. Diet Mousse (twin pack) 4. Fish 5. 3 Eggs 6. Sausage
Coz I havn't been here, I'm just gonna say my comments on everything that's been happening lately. Shannan and Michelle are good trainers, I just don't know if they're right for the show. Michelle seems really hard and has a really short fuse and Shannan, even though he goes on about the 'spirituality' of this, I don't think he really cares as long as they're losing weight. Basically, it's their first time showing the world what sort of trainers they are and above everything, they don't want to fail. Bob and Jill are used to fame and public criticism, so they seem to focus on the contestants more. Remember Jill with Shane last year?
Chris- Can't stand him. I don't think he has any type of problem at all, I think he is just an arrogant, self-centred dickhead and I wanna see him lose. The best thing is that Mars Bar is ahead of him and it must be killing him to be beaten by a girl!
NZ-all of those things looked so fun. There is no way I could do the canyon swing or the bungee-too scary. I would do the rock climbing, the jump Patti did and the thing Chris did (we've got something like that down the Gold Coast. It's called the Flycoaster and up to three people get strapped into this thing, they raise you 11 stories and then you pull the ripcord and freefall the 11 stories. Then you swing til you stop. That was reallly fun when I did it).
The challenge- Here's my choices in order from best to worst.
1. Biscuits and cheese 2. Fish 3. Peanut butter 4. Eggs 5. Chocolate mousse 6. Sausage
Not really sure though. I really hope Chris made the worst choice. The worst thing was the episode ending before we found out who goes. We havn't even seen the weigh-in yet. Does that mean two people are leaving this week?
