[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1988077, member: 345386"] [USER=499742]@Aurelien_1009[/USER] Whilst it is traditional to eat plenty of rice and noodles, is there anything that prevents you from modifying your diet to have more of the meat and fish elements of the way of eating? I am in SE Asia right now, although not in Vietnam, and having been here almost two weeks already, I have eaten local cuisine every day, yet no rice of noodles have passed my lips. I have had stirfired seafood with chiili and garlic, pork sort of larb, although not actually larb, spicy pork salad, with loads of basil and corriander, a local version of a stuffed omellette, a dry red curry, and lots more. I have never felt hungry, or that I have missed out. In fact, I would say that I have had the tasty parts of the meals and not the bland fillers. Aside from the rice and noodles, the only thing have steered a bit clear of are the sweet and sour based dishes, as the title says, it's fair to expect they will contain sugar and taste sweet. (I don't have a particularly sweet tooth.) Whilst I don't consciously fast myself, you may find it interesting to read some of the works by Dr Jason Fung, who is based in Canada, but who has dealt with many Asian people. Good luck with it all. [/QUOTE]
