The Diet Challenge

This is not a sight to complain about all the eastern things I struggle with. In fact, there are a lot of very positive things in Hong Kong and this is one of them: Health. In case you haven’t noticed, the Hong Kong women are VERY skinny! They have stunning hair and beautiful skin. And what is their secret? Or is this just good genes? Of course there’s a secret! And it’s not eating dogs or cats or nothing at all. They eat a lot. Trust me. The secret is in what they drink. Green Tea.


Lots of the things the Chinese believe are a lot of willy nilly, but I found this one to be true. Drinking green tea before and after meals improves digestion and it is also a great detoxer to flush all those yukkies out. So I will take up this green tea challenge and replace all of my fluids (except water) with a glass of green tea. Remember, no sugar or milk. You can also drink Jasmine, Monkey, or any other form of green tea. Bring it on.

PS. as jou can see, they went a little overboard with the "green tea is good for you" thing...
