The Bottom Line. Chinese food doesn't have to be a diet disaster. Opt for dishes that are full of steamed or lightly stir-fried veggies (ask them to use very little oil) and lean proteins (shellfish, fish, chicken, tofu, lean beef). Use chopsticks to help slow your eating, allowing your stomach ample time to send signals to your brain that you are full.
Hurricane season in Cancun. We are considering traveling to Cancun/Mayan Riviera in November but are concerned about hurricanes and inclement weather. I've looked at weather charts for that time of year and historically hurricane season is from Sept to end of Nov. Last year the longest cold spell was from Nov. 13 -Dec 2.
While usually a quiet month because the ocean to the south hasn't yet warmed up enough for ideal formation conditions, hurricanes are a definite possibility. The last hurricane to affect Cancun in July was in 2005 when Emily passed about 60 miles away to the south. Damage in Cancun was minimal.
