How to Order Chinese Food Without Blowing Your Diet

[ginsinsan]

Sorry, but Gwai Lo's don't know how to eat Chinese food.

[ginsinsan]

Real Chinese food is healthier. Americanized Chinese food is CRAP.

[JoHnNyDePp2137]

next would be: how to order American food without blowing your diet... it's a pity that you can't

[Bloombaby99]

This food is American Chinese food, not actual, legit Chinese food! In Americanized Chinese restaurants, the food is cooked the Chinese way with Chinese names but is heavier in taste, appearance, and much more. Real Chinese food is not like this....if you're lucky, you'll catch a glimpse of the Chinese people eating the actual food from their country like noodles in a thick broth with steamed vegetables (no seasonings or sauce!) or pan fried egg with chives and etc...the food even looks strange.

[SmartWaterAddictx]

No no no no do not eat that much rice! The rise and fall of your blood sugar is not gonna help you at all! I always ask for steamed veggies instead of rice.

[koreangirl891]

how come theres not a how to eat american food without blowing your diet? why? is american food healthy and other countries food unhealthy? indirect racism

[25dracoflame]

why are there so many "how to order (culture) without blowing your diet" videos?

[kadier]

Why cant i see a single chinese dish in this video?

[kiettram4869]

@Ladygagafan752 chinese food is fat because it's soo yummy that you eat a BEEPload

[ylimeart]

She said chow fun weirdly owo

[Ladygagafan752]

im chinese, and i dont think chinese food makes u fat. theres rarely any fat people in china. this is offensive

[MollyoHengoo22]

man....i ate 3 plates of cow fun today......



[starlashining]

Everything looks great.

[tomlovegod]

OMG Just eat more vegtables. ps Vegtables should be cooked in Chinese way.

[CandyCat957]

Dr oz recommends eating chicken chow main and never general tsos :)

[Matanuva135]

@JoHnNyDePp2137 this is america's Chinese food, so that it not healthy! And why don't they make a how to order McDonald without blowing huh?

[Matanuva135]

Omg this is stupid! Every food is fat! Just don't eat that much and that fine!

[Matanuva135]

In hong kong, the Chinese food is batter

[JoHnNyDePp2137]

hey, Asians, calm down! nobody called you fat guys, just that some of these chinese dishes have many calories. Also nobody said that McDonald's is healthier than chinese, it's just that these videos refer to people who are really aware of what they eat. nobody can deny that steamed food is healthier than fried. also no one can deny that Chinese and generally Asians almost allways have healthy BMI, while many many Americans don't

[909afterone]

It's just American Chinese. Americans are not born to cook Chinese food :/

[sacredbluefire]

and then?

[HKISfreak1]

lol, this is american chinese guys. OF COURSE its unhealthy..

[100iluvdogs]

im chinese. does howcast think our fried stuff is more unhealthy than their McDonalds shit? I mean seriousy, they mix corn in their 'patties'. and not just fast food restaurants, even their home cooked stuff has so much oil and fat.

[trungly1322]

I mean tortoise87

[trungly1322]

I am Asian and r u calling us fat just like what she did

I hate this video

[turtoise87]

Im asian and asian food are actually healthier than your american trash howcast

[jan8919]

And there are also foods that have less calories that you can eat !

[jan8919]

There nothing wrong with sweet and sour chicken or chow fan or chow mein and other dishes you just have to very hard to burn off the calories ! Why do people got make a big deal I been to Italian , Korean , Mexican , Vietnamese resturants the food they serve is the same amount of calories !

[malejames90]

.....i never eat orange chicken or most of those dishes, and i'm chinese....the secret is balance out between rice meat and vegetable....usually half rice, 3/5 vegies and 2/5 meat....don't really care though....but the secret is No Mc and KFC, unless you ask for it, they can kill you inside out

[getchaNerdOn]

i'd rather die early eating un-heathy shit rather than steamed veggies.

You only live once :)

[smasherralph]

0:38 did howcast just tell me to transfer sauce with chopsticks?

[vipxin123]

...lies

take advice from a real CHINESE person.

and you can hardly find any chinese eatting brown rice...it's all about the white rice and again, you can hardly find any overweight people in china.

and these are even REAL CHINESE FOOD! you dont find a chinese person eatting these everyday. We only eat this when it's special occasions.

[Gvf77x]

:D I love this kind of Chinese food, it's soo good :)

Not authentic of course, but delicious

[Torchic956]

This makes me hungry...

[iLoveKittyx]

LOL They said "chow fun" wrong xD

[sabugassabhu]

that guy in the video cant even use a spoon...

[CodyPham98]

Ohhhh..... you know I always thought that AMERICAN CHINESE food tasted weird.

[CodyPham98]

I'm Asian and I eat my culture's food everyday (also American) and never get fat, so how do people get fat?

[BISlover544]

@CodyPham98 REAL Chinese food: emphasizes use of veggies, often steamed or at most stir-fried, fresh ingredients are a priority.

AMERICAN Chinese food: veggies are a garnish, most food is deep-fried or pan fried, and ingredients are carved out of genetically enhanced MSG and raccoon fat.

I see a difference...

[MissKatelynnne]

@CodyPham98 Not every American who eats Chinese food everyday is fat or gets fat either. Often people over-indulge in foods, and Chinese food cooked in America often uses a lot more oils and additives.

[aznxwanabe]

@CodyPham98 Get stressed, relieve it from eating. Cheap candy bars and junk food also.

[MissIknoweverythingy]

Alright, alright, I barely see chinese/korean/Japanese fat people, americans are fat... 30% of america is fat fat.... I MEAN IT, GO TO CHINA, you see fat chicks? NO~! Not unless you actually LOOK for one..

[fuss101]

Wow they ordered alot of dishes for 2 people...

[Hotstuffix]

Her meal looks boring and tasteless compared to his.

[JennyxCookies119]

I eat chinese food EVERYDAY! cuz my parents own one.

But i dont think im fat. ( prove? - reply me or msg)

[mackoyz20]

chinese food are very delicious. chow!

[gab9hp]

I loose enough calories laughing at the names.

[aliciakeyfinch]

I can tell the guy is enjoying the food more...

[KILLERZ0000]

There are hardly menus in 'PROPER' chinese restaurants with combo and house unless its some shitty takeaway. This vid is crap as the menu is just like the takeaways meaning this vid is about calories on fast food. wtf?

[Spectator8888]

Omfg... the white persons accent and fail to say Chinese makes my ears bleed. Oh that and we Chinese, we never get fat.....

Btw. When white woman say use chopsticks, she know it gonna take a long time....

[alexkinglai]

FUCK I DONT CARE I LUV CHINESE FOOD!!!!!!!

[AQWorldsFan123]

@alexkinglai I like the Xiao Long Bao.

[burgerking7472]

how about stop being a fatass and eat once in a while instead of eating every week!

[s33thr3w]

fucking retarted

[soccom8341576]

Nice.

Eat slow please.

One tip... try and bring a Chinese or an Asian friend along the first time who knows your tastes and you'll be unlikely to order anything you don't like.

You will also avoid the "Chinese food for Americans" type dishes, which may not give you the healthiest stuff, if that's what you're looking for.

[noodle0912]

Deep friend tofu is too good to forgo.

[ThePrincessellie]

i dont care if its not healthy... ill never give up my orange chicken!!!:)

[DarksFilms]

mmm, The food on Step 7 looks YUMMY.. I'm gonna order chinese tonight now :P

[harrypttrfrek]

i want some veggie lo mein with mixed veggies in garlic sauce right now mmmm...yummy =D

[irilius]

wow ordering sauce on the side at a chinese restaurant is practically blasphemy. Truth of the matter is don't overeat, the chinese diet is alreaedy has far less meat in it than western diet. (The meat is sliced and diced, which usually means you end up eating far less).

Calories aren't everything! Just learn restraint and eat till you're satisfied. Plus leading an active lifestyle helps too.

[Bloombaby99]

@irilius: That's absolutely right. Asian diets along with the Middle Eastern and Mediterranean diets have the healthiest foods you can eat. Plus, as the video mentioned, eating with chopsticks is a process (whether you're a pro or not) and it takes longer for you to eat. American is the one where you should "order sauce on the side". They need to apply these "tips" for American cuisine, not foreign. Though on my end, the effort is greatly appreciated.

[AtlantiXYL]

the only way chinese people say chinese is health is because Chinese people moves alot and walk alot. if they stop doing that they will get fat too.

[anythingnew]

@AtlantiXYL

No, they don't eat all that fried stuff.

[thisismyaccount67]

these tips are like really funny and super ironic.

[StarryDestiny]

I am getting hungry from watching this :(

[RavishingRedheadd]

lol ok never seen a person cutting up a spring roll.how silly is that? spring rolls actually taste alot better then egg rolls.they have more flavor and are less greasey

[han289]

that woman is boring... "i only eat steamed food..."

[RavishingRedheadd]

she sure is lol

[jimmyexx]

actually,

this is kind of like American-Chinese Food.

I would suggest to try the food but not much

about the sauce,

all the sauces tastes great,

only with extremely high calories.

[Newtacious]

whats the point of going to a chinese restaurant if all you're getting it chicken steamed with some zucchini? Just workout and exercise plenty and you'll be fine if you try to eat healthy on a daily basis -- and not healthy like sugar free twinkies, but fresh food with little preservatives and hydrogenated oils, they are the worst

[Willettes1]

so i cant get lemonaid or orange juice?

[internetxfreak]

That Asian waiter reminds me of Bob Saget.

[Xaphirox]

Good video, other people have different opinions on what's healthy and not though.

[happyypanda]

that isnt real chinese food...

[DorkiiBabie]

I know.. Im chinese and Im thinking "o_O they make you fat? cause theres hardly any overweight people in china " o_o;; " lols.

[Godsoldier911]

True and same with vietnamese people. But then theres the sumos.

[futurevirus]

not really...McDonald changes it...dramatically

[bluelover404]

@DorkiiBabie lol I think it's cause their bodies are used to it. I'm like that too

[tripletriple2010]

@DorkiiBabie so lot overweight O_O

[guydudeasian]

@DorkiiBabie That's because Chinese fast food add tons of oil and other unhealthy things in it. The only thing that comes close to real Chinese food is the food you buy in a restaurant that actually gives you porcelain plates to eat.

[123pixieboo]

@DorkiiBabie im Chinese too

[mawkishful]

I'm 12 and what is this?

[ZeroSumSpiral]

lol Okay? You can read right? What's the title of it?

[chewbaccarules]

fts i eat whatever i want when i eat chinese. no need to limit yourself. if youre really trying to keep on your diet than why avoid all the really good stuff

[darkitachi47]

[divine0g0d]

[ConflagerationFEAR]

[boot17]

kung pao is all i get :(

[haoqh]

Most of the "Chinese" food you eat at Chinese restaurants are "Americanized".

[APMgirl28]

Not if you eat in China....

[haoqh]

I was talking about American Restaurants...Considering I do live in the US and have never traveled to China.

[jenzieX3]

You are correct, Most chinse restrant these days arent authentic

[bonequeesha81]

Damn, everything they said not to get are my favorite things. :/

[pandaluvlol]

u are totally disrespecting my races food we live longer then people who shove there faces full of chips

[Returacan]

[BalooDumptruck]

@starwar

[Returacan]

[GaryLeeProduction]

[pokymonky123]

[MonkeyOctober]

But...I like General Tso's chicken :(

[ZenSentiate]

not really helpful, avoiding the better dishes which often have more calories/fat kind of defeats the purpose of going to a good Chinese restaurant.

[rubicita89]

i got really hungry watching this vid!!! everything looks delicious,

[CuteSkinnyGirl]

[swirlygirly1234]

[rudedude985]

kung pao is so good though.

[omgLOLtehe]

[xxl606]

I think you should leave your diet at home and eat whatever you like while you're out as long as you go out not much more than once a week or so.

[Clapbell]

if i went there id say fuck the diet and ill eat anything that sounds tasty

[slygirls09]

[cassey05]

[AnneFTW]

[ClodaghBear]

Wow you are lucky! If my family owned a chinese restaurant, I'd be fucking obese!

[reap00004]

My uncle owns a chinese restaurant 3000 miles away
