why aren't Chinese people morbidly obese when their average meal is 30% carbs 65% fat and 5% protein? I mean their general health markers should be abysmal... the entire Szechuan cuisine for example consists of pasta, rice, oil, aromatics and whatever little bits of fatty meat and gizzards they can afford.

>small portions
bro a single portion has 3000 calories in just basedbean oil. Its truly an ungodly amount of oil in every authentic househole Szechuan recipe you can find online. Not like that differs all that much in other regions either

People living in their own countries don't eat tourist food every day.

They move around retard which is why they're scrawny while eating a lot. To put it it another way if they had more protein in their diets they'd be less scrawny but still thin from all the manual labor to make my aliexpress shitty death metal print shirt

Because they dont overeat and they walk alot. If i can take a guess their culture shames fat people too

>>76399786 (OP)
sichuan is a small amount of the country. Although it has influenced at a lot of neighboring schools of cuisine is not dominant or as commonplace as other styles of cuisine.

>>76399790
what are Chinese people eating that I cant see then because I watch a lot of home cooking recipes with english captions as a chef and foodie, for many different cultures, and every authentic regional Chinese cooking video I watch its just glugs and glugs of oil.

I've seen how mexicans eat at home in mexico, italians in italy - they eat whole fruits, vegetables and meats prepared in logical ways like every other culture on the planet but with their own regional aromatics and carb source preferences. But not chinese people.

>>76399795
thats the thing - they have a deeply engrained health and wellness culture that goes back centuries but the diet just does not line up at all.

>>76399786 (OP)
I love this type of food so goddamned much, and I'm underweight too. Might have something to do with Asian genes or because the spice makes you sweat so much.

>>76399799
That's still opulent cooking. No one really wants to broadcast what they really eat in a day.
Which is like a sweet potato, rice, mung bean sprouts, meat, gailan, garlic, ginger and eggs.

>>76399800
I enjoy it myself too, a real sichuan spot opened in my small city in the US recently and the gf and I ordered like 10 different items just to try it all. The flavors are very floral and light but coat your entire mouth and linger because of all the fats. Also of course the peppercorns the food is known for are a one of a kind flavor unlike anything else in the west and the spice contrasts so well without being as overpowering as southern asian spices. But my god did we feel like greasy pieces of shit after lol

>>76399812
I figured this must be the case. Its just that you see so many other cultures real gastronomy on youtube and tiktok and realize they're not so different, hell some of them become diet fads like the Mediterranean diet which is nothing like what you'd ever find in a restaurant.

>>76399786 (OP)
> I mean their general health markers should be abysmal...
It is very likely the case. The standard schedule for chinese worker is brutal; see "669" in tech or the taxi doing 24h shifts.
I know this has changed now but at that time 99% of the people were in a healthy range weight. This is probably due to the chinese walking a lot and eating cheap and have easy access to decent street food like rice + vegetables and meat ( chicken, "beef", squid ).
I haven't been to Sichuan - so not sure - but that looks like something you would eat to celebrate something and not you would eat on a regular basis.
Not super sure about this one but they also tended to undereat.

I dont think they outright shame them like Japan does infamously - but I saw one fat kid then who got helped from his grandma getting his exercise done.

They are diabetics.

Because they move more and eat less. Same answer always.

>>76399786 (OP)
Maybe it's because they work 120 hours a week

The whole post is made on a falce assumption that they are lean and healthy.
Diabetes rates in china are one of thebhighest in the world. Only ibdia beats then.
Most chibese have a pot belly. Visceral fat is the wors kind of fat to have. It's just that asians don't get fat in their legs and hands. If they get fat, it's always visceral fat and something like 70% of asians are ovese ib that sense

>>76399786 (OP)
Mainland Chinese are quite fat. In fact I live in Hong Kong and can tell the the locals and the mainlanders apart with 95% accuracy because most of them are fat nowadays.

They have a different emdicla paradigma (TCM) that seems to work a lot better than ours. Arabs have Unani, Indians have Ayurveda, African have a different one, too. Euros had humoral pathology which dies after the World Wars.

Modern science of nutrition and fintess is a grift. And it's falling apart at the seams now that we can see how other cultures deal with these problems. The WHO is already working on incorprating Ayurveda and TCM. Olympic champions use both, too instead of "western medicine".

Chinese and South Koreans are literally known as the "fat east asians"

I'm just curious as to your response to this question. Do you believe that the videos you see on a website totally predicated on repeat user engagement are going to be the actual mundane day-to-day meals that are cooked by normal people?

Every skinny/fit Chinese person I've met turned out to be Taiwanese/Hong Kongers

>>76399786 (OP)
The food you find at traditional restaurants, even though it might actually be traditional, is NOT the every day food of the common people. The every day food is simpler and cheaper. Usually more boring, less tastefull and less caloric. People don't come to restaurants to eat common everyday food, they come to eat the special holidays or sunday recipes.

Take french cuisine for example. "Typical" recipes are often full of butter, heavy cream, wine, lard and so on. But the french farmer do not eat croissants, blanquette de veau, coq au vin or a boeuf bourguignon at every meal. The traditional week-day meal will most likely be stuff like potatoes, beans, veggies and, sometimes, meat.

Same goes for italian cooking or any other typical cooking. Italians don't eat a super rich 6 hours simmered ragù bolognese every day. They'll eat pasta all'arrabbiata.

TL;DR : common/poor people do not eat restaurants type of meal everyday of the week.

I have a roommate from Wuhan, he keeps Oreos and chips and whatnot on his desk and plays overwatch all day. He cooks all his own meals and does so with unmeasured pools of oil that he’s used to doing for his gas stove+wok despite us only have an electric stove. He buys like twice as much meat as I do, and solid cuts of beef, chicken, and pork at that, not like chicken breast, lean ground beef, and fish or something. Rice and noodles all the time, buys a lot of cheap processed shit like instant ramen, etc. and loves sautéing green vegetables. Anyway, he’s scrawny as hell and like a foot shorter than me, and it genuinely just comes down to portions. Eating 30% less than someone else is hard to notice unless you pay attention, but it’s gonna result in 30% less “person” on your body. Ultimately despite always have processed shit everywhere he’s mostly eating home cooked meat/veg/grain to his fill, and that’s a goal, not “defying thermodynamics.”

Picrel is a hotpot we put on recently.

>>76399897
>Good
>Mutt immediately thinks about men sucking penises
Are you niggers actually just gay or brainbroken by BBC propaganda

I've been googling this in the past because I was wondering as well. The thing is they eat with chopsticks so a lot of the oil remains in the bowl. Especially when you eat noodles which is sichuan staple. Also my colleague from China told me he was getting fat so he started eating less rice (because they still think carbs makes you fat or something) and started walking and running more.

>>76399885
Are you retarded. Boob size is predominantly due to genetics, not how fat you are.

That's not obesity. Ttat's bmi index.
If someone has no muscles and a pot belly, he has a worse obesity than a 200kg man with no pot belly.
Almost all indians have a pot belly a 1/3 of indians have a diabetes (if you exclude children, it will be more like a half) in europe diabetes rates aren't even 5% despite old population

>>76399799
This isn't true in cantonese regions anyway. They eat a fuckload of meat and seafood and wash it down with vegetables and rice and maybe alcohol

I noticed that they don't Snack and eat twice a day usually rather than 3 times. They also help themselves to food put in the middle of the table so it's easy for an individual to regulate how much food they eat. It's high calorie stuff but these facts explain why most of them aren't fat

>>76400131
no man I seek those types of videos out intentionally, I like seeing how the working class of different parts of the world eat. Its the real culture of a given area

I could find a random travel vlog form China and take a screenshot and most of the people in the frame would be fat.

I got really fit living in china for 6 years. people dont eat huge quantities, and back when I was there in the 90s, you had to walk/bike everywhere (or subway longer distances).

miss those times. gym membership was cheap, so I would be constantly active every day, then go clubbing at night.

chinese didnt work out at the gym but they were lean just by virtue of walking and biking everywhere. apartments and houses were small and boring (slow internet, no cell phones either), so unless you wanted to read a book you were out and about. even reading was better at a library or park.

the secret is just being constantly active.

>>76401022
Chinese eat the aboslutuest slopest shit of slop.
Highly processed carbs fried in sneed oil(recycled from gutter) dipped in highly processed sneed oil sauce. Literally the worst thing you could think of but 10 times worse

I was born and raised in China and I was consistently 73/4 kg. Went to Germany for exchange and eating frozen pizza/ chicken wings/ doner kebabs/ instant ramen every day and went down to 65kg. There must be something in the Chinese food that made me fat

They don’t drink Szechuan oil, they dip and boil shit in it at the table then pick it out with chopsticks, mainly vegetables, mushrooms, meat strips, tofu. They keep a personal bowl of rice that they hold the picked food over as they eat it so that any oil or bits that fall fall into the rice, but it isn’t much, and this style of food is inherently social and slow, so you don’t end up eating as much before you feel full. Lastly, only the Szechuan area eats Szechuan regularly, and many Szechuan dishes are not covered in oil. Oh, and very few sugars. Honestly Szechuan dishes like OP’s may as well be as calorie dense as sautéed vegetables & meat w/ rice, which no one would bat an eye at.

Look at the elevation map of the sichuan province, they're basically walking up and down hills all day.
even worse if they're going from one part to the other.
their food is high energy so they don't die, protein won't do anything for you if you have to do crazy cardio just to go get a bowl of food

>>76401738
that's gay

young chinese people are usually skinny, but the older people are fatty, maybe because the old farts still have the hunger mentality from their young days lol

If they cooked the tesecai / speciality dishes every fucking day for every meal theyd waste 6 fucking hours everyday cooking.

No. Theyre just like us. The just whip up anything they have handy. Eggs over rice after work. Not fucking beijing kaoye.

They dont crush that daily. Much like how English people don’t eat fish and chips and those huge breakfasts every day, or how people across the South don’t eat barbecue every day

It’s just an occasional thing. Chang might eat eggs, rice, fruit, a bit of meat and some root vegetable on a given day. Also they don’t drink soda much at all, but they chug water and tea constantly

Do big buff guys eat that stuff?

Not trying to discourage meat consumption by saying this, but only recently has the Chinese diet started to frequently include meat, especially factory farmed meat that tends to be fattier. This trend is mirrored in the West, butt for longer. Historically, Chinese cooking has historically relied on breeds of animals that weren't bred to grow fast and be slaughtered young.

A lot of Chinese cooking relies on sauces, usually ones that have lower caloric densities than condiments in the West. Drinking tea instead of soda. On that note, Europeans often drank beer to not get waterborne illness. Tea is from boiled water, obviously. The tea that Europeans and Americans drink is often supplemented with sugar, sometimes a lot, and milk. If you have a cup of Chinese tea, you'll never look at teabag tea the same way. This tea culture circumvents the societal and survival pressure to drink alcoholic beverages. Not that people in China don't drink, though.

Lastly, it depends what part of China we're talking about. Food in China has always been associated with traditional medicine and balance, leading people to eat relatively balanced diets. When I make hongshao rou, it does include a fatty cut of pork and a little bit of rock sugar. But it relies on sauces that you reduce or simple stocks without anything added but herbs/spices. A lot of the sauces and stocks you find in American food, and some European cuisines, rely heavily on cream and cheese, both calorie dense. Again, not discouraging consumption of dairy, either.

My family does this as well. If I lose weight they say it immediately, if I gain weight they talk about it the whole time I'm there.

A Chinese meal is mostly carbs protein and fiber. Americans eat too much fat and whipped cream and shit

The reality: Actual home cooked food is mostly bland and boring. If you live with family, dinner is always eaten together, and no one wants to sit at the table with their fuck ass parents for too long. Lots of leafy vegetables. Health markers are probably shit overall. Most people are slinnyfat with less muscle than the average 13 year old American girl.

Asians actually have fat shaming cultures. They do not cater to fat people. There are not "xxxl clothes shops for beautiful wayhmen". There are few "fat bee" shops for fat slobs. My friend from china was only a bit overweight girl and when she came to Poland she was supper happy that she can actually buy clothes that fit her. And she wasn't anywhere near euro/us obese, she was just a little fat, in the west she would be called healthy. And she could not buy clothes for herself in china.
