12 clever weight loss tips from around the world

Korea
The Korean diet does not contain a lot of fast food. Luckily, in Korea, you can get delicious food for quick and for cheap so there is no need to turn to fast food on a regular basis. (Fast food is acceptable for a treat, everything in moderation!) The Westernized palate values sweet foods, but Korean palate is much more nuanced favoring sour, hot and spicy flavors. In Korea, if you want to get a quick bite to eat, you can grab healthy alternatives on the go like kimbap and rice rolls. Kimbap is a delicious rice roll with a variety of vegetables and meat rolled in. It's similar to a sushi roll only Korean style and of course no raw fish. Kimbap is an excellent way to get healthy calories in, fill your stomach, and not gain weight. There are also some Western fast food chains in Korea. However, these chains actually carry healthier ingredients. For example, the Taco Bell portions are a lot smaller and don't nearly have as much mayo-like sauce. Subway also has shrimp subs and more veggies to choose from than the standard American versions.
