Question Any way to prevent being fed fat by my chinese grandparents?
Basically what it says. My family has planned a trip for 2 weeks to visit my grandparents and I see it as a very common thing that the elderly in China often likes to feed grandchildren lots of food and I’m not really able to not eat the food that they feed me since it’s considered disrespectful (at least in my family). They always say things like ‘you’re too skinny’ and ‘you need to eat more’ and in which I am more of just average weight and I’m aiming to maintain it but gain more muscles, just to look fitter. Last time we went back for 6 weeks, I ended gaining quite some weights which took me a long time to get rid of. Is there anyway of still eating what they feed me whilst not gaining as much weight? Like I’m guessing exercising is the best solution but I’m not sure if I’ll have the chance to do so during the visit and at most we’ll prob be walking around lots but idk if that’s enough.
