In Chinese culture, being prosperous can mean being ‘overweight’. So if you see a Chinese businessman with a big belly, it can be significant to his business success. We women, however, tend to be more conscious of our bodies and physical outlook. I truly believe that women are the biggest consumer of diet pills and slimming products. For us, being overweight is definitely not being ‘prosperous’ but more like a taboo! But personally, I don’t think one should be too over concerned about weight issues if you are eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly. And even if you are overweight, you should consider altering your lifestyle habits and not expect a miracle from any slimming program or product.
