Asian girls have better metabolism than American girls?

Question

I recently heard an interesting factoid. I was lamenting that asian girls are hotter, skinnier, maybe have better metabolism than American girls.

My friend said that asian babies statistically have lower birth weights. Is that true? And do asian girls have better / superior metabolism??

American women are so chunky *lament*

Answer 1

asians are superior.

Answer 2

Like the last post said - Americans can claim to be #1 in something else. I don't think there's a myth - you can find obese asian women as well. I don;t think it's genes either. Look at an asian diet - a lot of vegetables, tofu, and rice. Meat and processed food are limited. Now look at exercise. Picture Hong Kong or Tokyo - think people are driving everywhere? Obesity in the US has only become a problem recently in the last few decades.

Having lived abroad I would argue that most if not all other cultures take more of an active role in their lifestyles - americans blame someone else for their for their problems and then expect someone to create a pill or pay to fix it. It's not genetics or fast metabolism in other cultures - just a healthier lifestyle.

Answer 3

America does have the highest rate in the world for obesity because of the millions of fast food restaurants. But not all Asians have fast metabolism. Maybe when they're young, but not necessarily when they become older.

Answer 4

Some american women are chunky becasue of our american food. Asian girls can be fat i have seen many. It is not the metabloism, they probably eat healthier around your area than the american girls. And asians eat better, like rice and stuff

Answer 5

I think they eat better.

though I am told melanin somehow assist in metabolism, and asians have more, so asian metabolism may be a little better, but doubt there is much difference.

Answer 6

well, i'm half japanese and weighed a whopping 8 lb 10 oz when i was born and was a chunky monkey. asian babies aren't necessarily smaller. my mother says that she "programmed" my body by the foods she fed me so that i wouldn't grow up fat. i don't have to worry about anything i eat, my metabolism is great, i guess. a lot of it is in the diet that asians have.

Answer 7

I'm asian, and i want to know the answer too...I eat just like how americans eat, or eat even more. But somehow i just can't get fat. I do think i have a faster metabolism...

Answer 8

regularly they have smaller frames and much less muscle mass. the particular assessment of physique fat proportion between asian and caucasian women folk is quite comparable, in basic terms at distinctive weights. So a 5ft2 asian woman could have a physique fat proportion of twenty-two% at 90lb and a length 00 the place as a 5ft2 caucausian woman could have the comparable physique fat proportion at 110lb and a length 2. this is all to do with the fat/muscle ratio. What you seem to love is women with gentle frames and not plenty muscle (or fat), yet you like them gentle with out seen muscle definition.

Answer 9

hey hey hey, I may take offense, I am American, well cuban, portugeese, german, spanish,romanian... not that you care and I have a fast motabalism and I am 5'2" and am only 95 pounds thank you. But on the other hand I so agree because my neighbor is asian(her husband is not) and she had a baby but she never got big.

Answer 10

I went to a medical conference and heard these facts too.

Answer 11

different people have different metabolism rate regardless of race
