Why are most asian woman thin & caucasian heavy?

b/c a lot of the asian food ingredients contain less fat than their counterparts. Have you ever been to asian cuisine restaurants (and no----chinese buffets dont count)? Many of their food don't have butter or creamy, fatty things. for example, the first thing you'd get at american restaurant like Olive Garden, Apple Bees, Chili's, etc. is bread and butter. and the first thing you'd get from the asian restaurant is tea (well you definitely won't get the bread and butter). and american deserts have a lot of sugar.

i honestly believe that if someone replace some of their american meals with asian meals that they would have a good chance of dropping a few pounds. it'll be kind of like drinking less soda.

Its simply because of culture and diet. In asain cultures, rice is usually the main course and meat is a side dish. The asain diet is usually low in fat and they've been eating like that since birth which is why they grow up thin. American women as you may now, have a higher fat content diet. They are surrounded by all these comfort foods since they were children, and they tend to eat them more. But an American diet is all an asain women need to start gaining weight!

In high school, we had a foreign exchange student from Thailand. She was so petite and tiny at the beginning of school. By the end of the school year she had gained about 20 lbs! She blamed it on the food and lack of options for healthier choices, especially in the school cafeteria which was always American food.

Its got a lot to do with your culture, living conditions, weather in your parts of the world, and how active you are.

Most people in america have all the luxorious things in life and dont know how to do without them, therefore; they lifestyles are not as active as most people living in asia.

I'm originally from india, and was very thin when I came to the states. Then after 12 years of living in the states, I am big, not fat, but big, big for most indians.

Most Asian women are thin because it's in the genes and diet. Asian Americans are a bit bigger than the ones from Asia because of the fatty foods here in America. My cousins came here and gained weight because of Americna food! lol

I'm Biracial Thai ( south east asian) part Swedish. I find asian women to have a delicate shape. I been stayed in thailand 3 year ago. most young ladies, especially the one who have got chinese decent, they tend to have skinny small bodies or small but pump with flat chests, awhile original thai ladies tend to look more caucasian ( "S" shape.)

however, I think the biracial asian-caucasian have got better shape.

for example tallness, long small legs. I'm biracial and I'm tall 168 cm, long small legs and hands. awhile my sister is 177 cm with slim legs.

most asian girls ( original asians) tend to have short length of the legs.....in particularly, the asians from north east asia like japanese and koreans. my sister married japanese. most girls in japan have got great skin and young face, small body and not tall but their legs are way thick and larger than caucasian legs. I know there also some japanese with small legs but I mean the overall japanese girls on the streets. its so rare to see the japanese girls who have got a long small legs or tall reach 165 cm. in thailand as well, most thai girls have got highness from 150-160 cm. and that's why their legs are short and appeared to be fat. - about india, girls also not that tall either.

Its what they eat, I have a few asian friends and they say they dont really eat anything but asian food, and they say their parents make them eat healthy foods im not sure if this is really y but hope i helped

genetics/body structure, and diet and nutrition.

with that said, that's a GROSS generalization. some asian groups have naturally heavier body types as well, so run towards what americans may call "fat"

Asian people eat smaller portions herego, smaller frames.

I think they tend to get more exersize and and their food is not as fatty as american food.

u cant control yourself. its all on u.
