Funny! Reminds me of a story not to long ago about an obese man who was not allowed to return because he ate too much from the buffet. I believe it happened in NY…

I fell victim again tonight! Man, I’m bad at this…one plate only though; someone ought to go in with an incredible appetite and eat the places dry; much too tempting…

Good idea about chopsticks. The to go buffet thing kind of defeats the purpose doesnt it?

Another thing I thought of…dude, learn how to eat with chopsticks…it paces you because you can’t eat as fast!

Israel,

I’m actually eating from a Chinese Buffet right now and I thought of the blog. What I did was have them give me a box to go for a flat rate and just filled it once; I just got back to the office and started eating now so I don’t have the choice to go back up for more.

In my bigger days, I spent alot of time at Chinese Buffets. I’d eat my weight in Genteral Tso Chicken and BBQ Spare Ribs. I miss those days sometimes, but I’m better off not going.

Hi Andrew, your name reminds me of one of my favorite books writes, Orson Scott Card. Just saw your site, it looks great and your dedication and progress definitely show. Keep that up and you will make it to your goal in no time.

Hi Israel,

I have been busy reading through your blog. I started a similar journey this year. Weight 302lbs and a stressed out ticker I had to make a choice to lose the weight.

I have linked you to my blog and will be keeping up with your progress. Your blog is an inspiration and confirmation that it can be done, one day at a time.

Take care!
Andrew

I went on a cruise last year and the buffets are 24 hours with fresh food constantly being added. It was hard for me to eat healthy during those 10 days. The same goes for Vegas, where I just got back from. Late at night when you’re all gambled out and looking for a bite to eat - the hotel buffets stare at you in the face and you need to go and pig out. I’m hitting the gym hard this week!

Haha…excellent. My girlfriend is a Chinese Buffet Groupie! Unfortunately (and fortunately…yum ) we must vacate these places several times a month. A cool trick I’ve learned is to pace myself creatively; this advice is given with the assumption that most of the foods in the trough are fatty and greasy, so WHAT is eaten won’t necessarily be as large of a factor. I try to extend each plate to At Least a half hour per plate…if it hasn’t been at least 30 minutes since a sat down and the plate is gone, I force myself to have a conversation with the woman before getting up until 30 minutes is up. The benefit? Not only will the pace help you digest the food in a healthier manner, you’ll also feel full faster, allowing you to eat less food. Also, a quick tip would be to eat the low-fat and high protein foods first…try to eat a whole grain rice and some lean chicken and veggies before digging into the good stuff…good luck!

The funny thing is, you hardly ever start feeling full eating these fatty chinese dishes.

By the time you start slacking your belt, you probably ate about 500 or 1000 calories to much :o)
