How come Japanese/Chinese women are so slim?

Question

Even after they come to UK and taste the fatty foods we have here?

What's your secret??

Answer 1

statistically, asian women in general are shorter, which means they are able to be slimmer without being defined as anorexic.  plus, asian cultures have healthier diets (fish, rice, etc)

Answer 2

healthy diet

Answer 3

Even if they immigrated into anothr country, they're not eating junk food 24/7 - they often stick with their own foods which are generally more healthy and less greasy (I'm not talking about Westernized Chinese food either.. so greasy).

However, if they choose to eat more of the 'Western' diet.. yeah.. there are plenty of thick Asian women out there.

Answer 4

not all but yes majority

Answer 5

healthy diet...fish, rice etc....they don't stuff junk food like some do!

Answer 6

Rice, green tea, and using chopsticks.  

Answer 7

It's all to do with genetics... But not all of them are so.

Answer 8

Genetics.  

Answer 9

Not just Japanese and Chinese women but the majority of east asia such as Koreans, Vietnamese, etc. This is due to their genetics. Having the most abundant food sources they grew to need less food

Answer 10

Eating healthy and actually dumping from another hole -hint: not from the mouth.

Answer 11

Genetics may have somtehing to do with it, but Asian women don't eat like pigs (that goes for the men too, by the way. Only you are talking about women).

Answer 12

Have you ever tried eating with chopsticks?  It's almost impossible - I give up after the third mouthful.

Answer 13

I guess it's due to the their genetics ect. A lot of my Asian friends eat rice every day (I eat rice like 3-5 times a week) so I guess that helps keep a balanced diet. I guess the media plays a part to some extent as well. There's lots of factors.

My mum's family is really thin, but that's because most of them (my granddad's side) have this disease linked to Hypermobility Syndrome (well they're hypermobile as well).

I've seen some fat Asians in my relatively short life.  

Answer 14

Genetics/diet/culture/.........Beliefz.

1/8 oriental.

Edit: thumb me down u dumb jackass its the truth.

Answer 15

not all of them. they are usually very skinny when they are young, but often gain a lot of weight when they are old. i think its down to genetics and a diet consisting of a lot of fish.

Answer 16

They eat very healthy. Japanese live very long, and obviously when they move they don't change that part of their lifestyle. Not all are the same.

Answer 17

They don't have a ton of food like Europe or America, because they all work all day for a little more then a dollar. The people are basically starved by the government, so it isn't so easy to go spend your days pay on a McDonald's cheeseburger down the corner(if they even have one).

There is no other secret rather then that they are hungary.

Answer 18

White rice
