Gained?

I've been in Hong Kong for over two years now. To tell you the truth I lost about 10 lbs when I first came here. I found it really hard to get used to the white rice and did sooo much walking here since I don't have a car like back home. Even though I lost weight, I didn't feel as fit and think most of the weight lost was lean muscle. I managed to put weight back on, but again, my bf% is higher than when I lived in Canada.
The food here is definitely no good, unless you shop at the City Super or other upscale markets which charge a huge premium for quality goods. Also, HK is a fast paced city and I rarely have time to cook in my tiny kitchen (nor do I enjoy it).
If you stay here longer you'll notice that although HK people are generally thinner, many have a little pouch around their belly and their shape isn't toned.
