Yeah I agree, rice is so full of starch and hidden carbs yet my parents always say "we are asians, we have to eat rice, it's healthy for us" i'm like BS! rice, healthy, yeah right, but yea i am positive the stars watch what they eat and they also watch their proportions and excerise plays a great deal too and so does metabolism. As for me, i hate stuff that are thickened with cocunut cream, i can't stand it, its way too sweet or oily for my tastes. BUt one thing i like is the dessert called nam wan its so yummy. way too sweet buts it really good, i'm not sure if its thai or laos oriented though and and my favorite asian food in the whole world is Som tum, its probably unhealthy but they make it sooooooo good in the city where i live. I always order that at every thai restuarant i go too!!!
