Green card to a healthier life

Hu Guodong has two meals a day - breakfast and dinner - with possibly just a simple tea in between. He believes the big time gap is the best way to replenish energy and consume calories.

A jog every morning is an indispensable way of controlling his weight and he prefers wearing comfortable casual clothes and sneakers. If he absolutely must wear a suit, he takes it off as soon as he can. His diet for the past 11 months has been almost totally organic.

"I don't reckon having a car is a must - why not use the subway and when it comes to luxuries, they're just charming gifts for business partners," says Hu, smiling.
