We don't deep fry food at all.

I stir fry/sautee 2-3 times per week (which is not the same in technique at times)....which if I can say: a huge % of the population outside of Western world can be healthy on this technique for life, if it's whole foods, unprocessed and oil used (not butter) sparingly, no sugar and know how to use this technique in multiple ways.

After all, salads are not widespread or a very frequent dish in traditional Asian cuisine. And boiled can be punishing to killing flavour of some veggies.
Steaming and preserving tasty flavour works for some veggies..but then there's a need to overlay with sauces....

So sautee with right recipes/combinations makes a vegetable dish more dynamic.

I don't have white rice anymore nor alot of bread, because I get sugar crashes /tip towards diabetes 2.

So it's light noodles. I have egg replacement 2-3 times per month in omelet, whatever. I eat lean meat about 2-4 times per month. I will have skim milk products, I have heavier European strong cheeses (3-6 times per month). I haven't bought butter for home in past few years but will have it at a restaurant, sparingly.

Over 40% of our home cooking is Asian in taste/technique/veggies. (I do get a hankering for boy choy, choi sum, nappa, gai lan, Chinese eggplant, lotus root, water chestnuts,,..etc.) any of these, over time. So I buy and prepare. Then other stuff integrates his techniques/dishes ..salads, some German/whatever dishes, ie. koh rabi with a white sauce, pureed soups (I tend to make consomme veggie/noodle soups), etc.

I don't race-cycle/run. So have no idea how these foods are like..but I have sisters who have a diet similar to mine and they jog regularily/run 1/2 and full marathons.

They are fine. One of them is in great shape and she's had 3 children.

Maybe you can visit us and join us in this mixed up way of eating.
Oh yea, I gotta cut out my sweet tooth. Hanging around with someone originally from Germany has helped me develop discerning taste for fine pastries...the real quality stuff and artisanal bread.

Does Bulgaria have alot of Asians living there?
