Chili As Slimming Secret?
===================
If you are a first-timer to Thailand, one thing that will strike you most is the whistle-bait waistline of Thai women. In general, young Thai women are attractively slim and you’ll wonder if they ever eat at all.
Nevertheless, they do. Thais, particularly women, have hearty appetites. In addition, rice, known to be fat-generating diet, is their staple. They have rice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. With fruits, sweets and other foods in between. So if they are not going to the midriff, where do all those food go?
The secret is probably in the red-hot chili, which they eat by the tons. A previous article in the Reader’s Digest says the capsaicin in the chili is known to be an efficient fat-burner. Of course, the chili is known to be good for the heart, and the respiratory and the digestive systems.
The “chili-vorous” Thais have chili in almost every dish. Where most people use salt for their boiled egg, for example, the Thais prefer chili. Quite strange but who can fault them if it’s doing a lot of good to their bodies or their figures.
Here’s another thing about chili. Although nobody has probably done a research on it, but chili must have something to do with that much-vaunted Thai smile and high spiritedness of the Thai people. Capsaicin is also said to be a mood-lifting chemical that can cheer you up for hours (hence the phrase “chili-buzz”).
With most Thais having a regular dose of chili from morning till evening, is it any wonder they smile a lot and enjoy life to the hilt?

"rice in the fields, fish in the water"
According to a Thai academic who is also a chef and to whom I asked this question about 10 years ago, it was mostly fish/seafood based, lightly boiled or grilled, salted or dried or fermented (kapi style), lots of fresh herbs, and black pepper for spiciness, as well as garlic, galangal and other spices from further south.
I remarked to him that some of the food found in some regions of rural Laos, cambodia or even Burma fit to some extent that description and he tended to agree.

Report from Bangkok Post dated Monday 3 December 2007 :-
Taste of London - Of the hundreds of Thai restaurants in London, 'Roi Et' keeps the food authentic and rakes in profits
==============================================================
Walk along the streets of London these days, and you'll find Thai food is almost everywhere, in both food stalls and restaurants.
Hundreds of Thai eateries compete head-on with Chinese and Indian restaurants.
On the surface, Thais may feel pleased that their native cuisine is flourishing overseas, and that spicy dishes such as tom yum kung have become global favourites. But if a Thai were to travel here and eat a 10 pad thai at a posh restaurant, he might wonder if he's eating authentic Thai food.
Though the image of Thai food is great, globalisation can be blamed for creating a new type of hybrid Thai cuisine. Restaurateurs must cater to the palates of locals, even if that means sacrificing the authentic taste.
It can also be hard to find the right materials that make dishes work. For example, imported bai ma krood, or kaffir lime leaves, cost 40 a kilogramme in London.
A shortage of skilled chefs is another problem. Most of the cooks working here have never taken professional training. They play a limited role in cooking because restaurant owners often shrug off Thai cooking standards when putting menus together.
Even so, it is not impossible to find original Thai food here. Looking around London at present, a few restaurants offer the real deal. One of them is 101 Thai Kitchen. Known among Thais as Roi Et, this restaurant serves up authentic spicy Thai food such as kaeng tai plah (a southern Thai curry made with fish innards) and som tam pla ra (fermented fish papaya salad).
Established in late 2004, the restaurant is increasingly popular among Thai students and workers. On Sundays in particular, Roi Et is filled with Thais who choose to enjoy their weekends eating local food, drinking Thai beer and humming along to songs from ''Songs for Life'' stars Carabao.
Owner Suttichai Se-Upara, 30, says the venture is held by three shareholders, including his wife and uncle. The initial investment was 93,000 (5.9 million baht). He borrowed part of the funds from a local bank, and expects to break even next year.
''The business pressure was mounting right after we opened, '' he recalls, laughing. ''The restaurant was very quiet. More often, we had only a few customers a day. My wife and I almost cried every day. We had to operate the restaurant with money from our credit cards. As a result, our credit almost dried up.''
The competition is intense at present, he says. Ten new Thai restaurants are scheduled to open on his street alone. Even so, he welcomes the competition.
The engineering graduate is a Roi Et native, while his uncle hails from southern Thailand. As a result, the two can create a variety of Thai regional menus to serve a wider range of customers.
In the early stages, he said the restaurant's positioning was unclear. The owners were targeting both Thais and non-Thais, but found this didn't work.
The restaurant started to become known when a small Thai newspaper in London ran an article about it. Word spread and Roi Et's reputation grew.
This led Mr Suttichai to rethink his strategy. Eventually, he came up with the slogan ''Thai dishes for Thai people''.
Nowadays, Thai customers make up 70-80% of his clientele, while the rest are foreigners who like original Thai food. The three hit dishes are tom yum kung, pad thai and green chili curry. He also delivers food within the neighbourhood.
Sales are about 8,500 a week now, a significant jump from between 1,000 and 2,000 in the beginning. With the restaurant's rising popularity, Mr Suttichai expanded the number of seats to 32 from 20. He expects sales to reach 10,000 a week next year.
It's not too high a target, he says, adding that he can sell more than 9,000 some days. To achieve his goal, Mr Suttichai plans to adopt a new marketing strategy and start offering northern food to attract new customers. At the same time, he will retain the authenticity of all existing dishes.
Mr Suttichai can often be found walking around London's fresh markets on the lookout for original ingredients. At the fish market, he asks vendors to keep the viscera of sea bass to make keng tai plah. He and his cooks help to make pla ra and curry paste. To keep som tam authentic, he only chooses papayas imported from Thailand; papayas from Bangladesh or India may distort the popular Thai dish.
''I am unhappy if the dishes we cook are not complete, '' he says.

There's a downside to it all, of course, as one might think that a spicy diet might increase the risk of stomach cancer. Of course, there are studies that support both risk, as well as the cancer preventive properties of capsaicin -- which really means 'nobody knows'.
I thought for a long time there would be a link between stomach cancer rates and countries that love spicy food - turns out, those countries have the lowest such rates. Who'd have thought?
Good culinary information from the prior posts.
