Could it be that face in your mirror can reveal the best way for you to choose a successful weight loss diet? This is not as crazy as you might think.

Chinese face reading is a branch of Chinese medicine. As health care evolved over thousands of years in China, doctors devised ways to diagnose patients by reading the features and lines of their faces.

As these ancient scientists continued their research over the centuries, they realized what the West has come to accept only in recent years – that our physical health is interconnected with our emotional nature. So they discovered they could also read people’s personalities in their faces. Your face is considered to reveal why you tend to think, feel and behave as you do, and can even show you how to create a life that is in alignment with this unique inner design.

This understanding can be put to use in very practical ways, such as choosing a weight-loss diet that will work for your individual personality type. How often have you picked up the latest diet book in the hopes that this will finally be the answer, only to discover you couldn’t stick with it – and ended up blaming yourself? It probably had nothing to do with your level of willpower. It may have very well been that the diet was not ‘you’.

In Chinese face reading, there are five personality types, or archetypes that have predictable patterns of thoughts, emotions and behavior, and unique needs for success in life. See if you can recognize yourself below and discover the best way for you to diet:

We love a curry and adore Chinese. Now the hunt for Britain’s next big ethnic cuisine is getting really exotic, reports Jerome Taylor

There was a time when popping out for a Chinese or an Indian was considered the height of international culinary sophistication. Be it a powerfully flavoured rogan josh or a frighteningly fluorescent sweet-and-sour pork, India and China dominated Britain’s ethnic cuisine scene ever since the first batch of hardworking immigrants brought their piquant spices halfway around the world and opened up restaurants on our shores.

Then came the Thai and Sushi invasions of the mid-1990s as Britain’s army of gap-year backpacker and health-conscious travellers trekked further afield for their next Eastern culinary fix. Now, research suggests our tastes are changing once more as a new era of mass immigration and global travel brings an ever-more varied and exciting array of foodstuffs to our shores.

Two new reports suggest that dishes from Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Somalia and Morocco are emerging as Britain’s new culinary kings. Sainsbury’s has recently been experimenting by introducing Moroccan-, Afghan- and Ethiopian-inspired foods into their ranges with impressive results. Sales of Moroccan green tea have risen by 426 per cent in a year while dried mung bean sales have doubled.

Meanwhile, a survey by the market analysts Mintel has found a similar increasing interest in North African and Middle Eastern cooking.
