Former Miss Hong Kong Kayi Cheung, also a nutritionist, has a secret to healthy living - "One less and Three more" meaning eat less but eat more often, do more exercises and learn more about food labels. She has been a health advocate since early age and a genuine supporter of the "less oil, salt and sugar plus plenty of fruits and vegetables" principle under the EatSmart Campaign.
Kayi has her way in keeping her body figure. She said, "The more you want to control your eating , the more you will think of it. People who intend to lose weight often end up eating more. I would suggest taking an appropriate portion size of your favourite food to satisfy your cravings without overeating."
As Hong Kong's goodwill ambassador, Kayi has to attend numerous banquets and public events. Her tip to avoid eating too much is to have some healthy snacks before going to the events. She always brings along some fruits as snacks when she goes to work.
Hong Kong has a rich and varied food culture, yet Kayi loves Chinese cuisine the most. Her daily diet, however, consists mainly of simple and mildly flavoured dishes. She likes to eat fish and vegetables. Pumpkins, papaya, chayote and broccoli are among her favourites. Streaming and boiling are her choices of Cooking Method.
