There are 2 types of body fat. Subcutaneous fat makes up most of our bodily fat and is found under the skin. This is the body's method of storing energy for later use. Visceral fat is found in the abdomen amongst the major organs.
Visceral fat can cause health issues such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and some cancers (stomach & colorectal).
Asians demonstrate greater visceral fat storage (termed android obesity) despite lower body mass index (BMI) values.
Therefore being/looking skinny is just one facet.
Knowing this fact. When "speaking" about body fat, one must specify which one. As more and more people reside in a more sedentary lifestyle due to urbanisation, westernisation (of food patterns) and globalisation.
There has been a proven augmentation in metabolic fats in people and their respective consequences. Luckily big "pharma" is there to provide treatments & cures without really trying to weed out (ban) potential/susceptible elements which causes elevated levels 😮
I was in Vietnam, and saw people and kids are getting fat from eating American fast food. It's more about diet and lifestyle. Your body adapt to what you do.
Yup. My 1st visit to VN nearly 20 yrs ago - most ppl were slim. Visited again recently and teens/ early 20s ppl are fatter. Didn't see the small kids since they were in school & I didn't go to the school zones. It's also due to the rising middle class - more ppl have disposable income to spend on fast food.
12:13 after my trip to Vietnam and Japan, I changed a huge chunk of my diet. Vietnam especially; generally balanced and lightweight meals with greens in everything, also well flavored.
It's all about eating healthy.
I had a Japanese classmate one time tell me she gained weight about 10lbs or so when she's here during college. 10lbs doesn't sound like a lot but for a skinny person that's always been stable, that is a lot. I am Chinese/Taiwanese-American, love both my parent home cooking, Asian foods, but also Western food as well. I definitely think Asian food in general is really healthy especially when you go down to basic cooking. It was only latter in life that I realize my mom cooks so healthy, simple, but also a huge variety. It can be taken for granted until you see how diet really affects weight, risk for heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, etc. Bottom line is its great to have the "skinny gene" but don't always rely on that, because dietary and lifestyle factors overtime affects genes and overall health outcomes (nutigenomics).
It depends on the food you're eating. Asians in America are bigger, but the more westernized food in Asia making people bigger.
Exactly this. If u go to dating apps in America. U will realize obesity doesnt discriminate lol.
@@changthao4875this is true especially in the south 😂
But in comparison even the asians that eat the the exact same are not as big as their white/black counterparts
it does make sense, Asians are shorter than White and Black Americans, less athletic and the women less curvy. I noticed most of them are flat and skinny.
A diet abundant in refined carbs creates a wider waistline for most people. A diet with more fiberous whole foods like Chinese Broccoli, water crest, and bokchoy OR a daily dose of kimchi will keep the waistline thinner.
I'm ethnic Chinese and have lived in Southeast Asia most of my life. Yup, I probably got that gene (and also a less dairy based diet).
I'm Southeast Asian, and I wish this was true, but not true for me.
same
Do you not understand the concept of average? There are always exceptions like you. There are short Scandinavians and tall Filipinos. That doesn't change the fact that the average Scandinavian is way taller than the average Filipino.
of course, they're speaking in general, duh
Actually being allergic to alcohol and being lactose is a genetic gift. Humans are not suppose to consume cow beast juice. Which causes high cholesterol and nit being able to consume to much alcohol prevents us from alcohol poison. It's a blessing in dusguise.
That is not true. The more you eat, the more you gain.
Not true. Metabolism is a factor in weight gain.
@@chrisshackleford7482 the general rule applies everywhere hence he/she is correct. People with diseases are exceptions to this rule therefore you're also correct in that scenario.
I gained 10 pounds every decade. Technically overweight. Chinese food is high on carbs, salt, and sugar. Only way to lose weight is fast. When I feel poor, I don’t eat.
I dunno, if u were to compare asian americans to asians from homeland, u would realize how much bigger asian american are.
I've been living in the Philippines for six months. I'm from the US. Appears to me there are more fat women than trim or lean women here. That's a lot of fat people. I truly believe there is a health crisis here.
@@cottagegymfunMaybe in Luzon cuz they eat super unhealthy there
I eat fried food, fast food, soda nearly every day for the past 10 years as a 30 yr old korean and im still skinny. Definitely genetics and its also about working out regulary to boost your metabolism
The last part where yall mentioned where the body rejects high processed foods is so true to me whenever I eat crumbl cookies. All of my coworkers love it except me because those cookies have at least 2 pounds of sugar in them. All of the time I reject a crumbl cookie because of the super dense in sugar content, I feel like I will throw up after having one. I'm hispanic so I will stick to my alfajores with dulce de leche
Bull, I’m Asian and my jeans have always been tight AF
gotta stop shopping in the kids section
I am 100% Chinese (both parents are Chinese), pushing 50yrs old this year, and I am at 15% body fat and can bench press 2x my body weight. Maybe genetis play a part, but it is also discipline. Alcohol makes me turn red. 😊
Kinda makes sense. I'm Viet, and a quarter Chinese and my 23andme says "your genes predispose you to weigh about 9% less than average".
It's kinda true. My impression about Far South Chinese and SE Asians is that they're usually thin and rather fit. Good to know that it's related to genetics.
I'm pure Southern Chinese (HK roots) and I struggle significantly with controlling my appetite and my weight. If I had less self control, I could easily be 300+ pounds
There are always exceptions. It's called on average. Like you might see a 7 ft tall person, but that doesn't change the fact that the average human is between 5 and 6 ft tall.
Maybe your body is craving more protein. Hk ppl consume the most meat in the world
I the reason why Asian skinny is because of the food. We eat healthier
I’m Cantonese/Toisanese, and I definitely fit into this mold. I really can’t get big even if I wanted to.
This was quite problematic though when I got into bodybuilding. I couldn’t gain weight if my life depended on it! It was quite infuriating. 😂
Once any ethnic group gets Westernized, guarantee they will gain weight.
I travel to Southeast Asia often and in the last decade I've noticed the weight gain. KFC, MacDonalds, Burger King are flooding the food courts.
I agree but it's not only the food, it's also the drinks - fancy coffees and milk teas which are high in calories. Those iced lattes with cream on top and milk teas can be 300 to 400 calories, depending on inclusions. If the daily caloric requirements are ~1200 for female and ~1500 for males, 400 calories daily for fancy coffees would quickly add up, esp if living a sedentary lifestyle. (I'm an older millennial from SE Asia and didn't have those fancy coffees/ teas as a teen/ early 20s. The teens now in SE Asia are generally fatter.)
yea but them fast food are smaller in size here compare to murican size
@@thatguywhois
Thank you for your reply 🙏 You're absolutely correct but sugary drinks along with the meal and lack of exercise is a bad combination.
@@kitty_s23456
Hi, thank you 🙏 your reply was absolutely spot on.
you're not wrong. Biggest proof is Filipino - tons of junk/cheap/processed food (Jollibee, KFC with extra extra gravy, cheap fatty wontons and tons of sweet drinks) - and almost 40% of adult filipinos are obese. Bad diet causes fat, no genes will protect you from this.
Even if it’s true it doesn’t fully protect them from becoming a fatty, they still needs to workout
Probably true for certain Asians. In my opinion though I never seen an obese vietnamese , they may get little overweight or somewhat chubby at most. The most of them are skinny or fit or slim. But never super fat. I'm comparison to laos, Thai, and Cambodians who I seen can get very fat or obese. I'm Cambodian btw.
cambodians also tend to build more muscle than the viets. we can can fatter but also build more muscle. i've seen many cambodians that are built like islanders
@@cambodianpleasuresquad1753 true
When I was in my late 20’s my friends & I were in line in order to get into a nightclub. We’re all Asian. For context, I’m an ABC and at the time I had a pot belly. When it was my turn to be let in, the bouncer checked my ID & congratulated me. He thought I was PREGNANT! I was completely mortified & felt so embarrassed!! Back then, I lived on junk & fast food, and my family’s home cooking. Never drank water, only sodas & had a major sweet tooth. Now, as a much older & wiser adult I do intermittent fasting, drink lots of water, consume more protein, vegetables & get a moderate amount of exercise. You eat to live, not live to eat. Food for thought, folks!
The media keeps telling people carbs is bad, this is full load of Bs. The Asian diet consists of heavy carbs with little portion of meat. This been that way for thousands of years where we eat big portion of rice, wheats with veggie dishes and small portion of meat. This is almost the same way for middle eastern, Italians etc. Carbs are needed for most athletes in order to perform at their highest level
yup.. rice + vegetables; some families can't afford to eat meat; because it could be too expensive. fermented foods, like a kim chi/chee, due to no refrigerators/ice boxes; the use of fish sauce/shrimp paste/Bagoóng (Filipino fish sauce; sometimes, it is made out of anchovies) in the dishes. I still love to eat snacks or ramen/saimin noodles laced with MSG (monosodium glutamate); anything with palm oil, palm sugar or condenesed milk; highly processed foods with nitrates, like: Libby's corned beef (from Brazil), Libby's vienna sausages, SPAM (the original; Treet or Tulip (Denmark luncheon meat), slow cooked Lechon (a very popular but expensive Filipino dish; aka "Babi Guling (suckling pig)" (at an "Ibud Oka" restaurant in Bali); think of Baken-Et's "Pork Rinds") or portugese sausages. I like ice cream and yogurt, yet I am lactose intolerant (2/3 of East (China, Taiwan; Japan, the two Koreas, Mongolia); South (India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Myanmar/Burma) and Central Asian (Afghanistan, Iran, Kazakhstan) regions & stuck with the Asian glow (whenever I drink alcohol). The Korean "Turtle Chips" looks good. Mukbang videos = it is like an AYCE buffet.
I would say we have less obese ppl but I would never say we don’t gain weight haha I have been very slim until covid hits, and post 30 so metabolism started getting slower and I do tend to gain weight now, not a lot but easier than the past
Rememebr watching a thing on youtube about a korean pop group
When she said for her dinner she has a couple of ice cubes
I was speechless
Yes. Some of those Korean K-pop "idols" starve themselves just to fit into the mold. For girls, I've heard that if you're more than 45 or 50 kg, you're considered "fat" by the industry. 45 kg (100 lbs) on a 5' to 5'2" person is OK but not on a 5'6" or 5'7" person. I've seen vids of Kpop girls who collapsed during performances due to hunger/ not enough nutrients or energy.
I think it's one thing to be skinny, but it's another thing to be skinny-fat. I see lots of skinny-fat East Asians (and Indians) with doughy bodies who look pretty normal in clothes. Despite being vegan/vegetarian for 35 years and going to the gym 4 times a week, I have pretty much resigned myself to the notion that, no matter what I do, I will always have this layer of Asian fluff covering every part of my body.
Are you sure it's not water weight? Maybe too much of carbs also make your body retain fat.
Many people plug away at the gym for decades with little result.
Being vegan/vegetarian actually hurts your goals, not help it.
Vegetarianism is actually what is making you fat. Dr. Berg talks about it.
@@letsgowalk That's utter bullshit. There is plenty of data on the correlation between meat consumption and BMI, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Not everybody is the same and some people just carry more body fat than others. And unfortunately there are plenty of faux scientists going around spreading bullshit about the so-called benefits of the paleo diet while there are legitimate, proactive, large, long-term studies, e.g., The Framingham Study, that actually evaluates diet and clinical outcomes with scientific rigor. And on the off, off, off chance that vegetarian/vegan diets make people fat, I would rather be fat than increase my chances for cancer and metabolic/cardiovascular disease.
Indians can actually get really fat if they eat beef
I've seen Indians get big
I've also seen Indian women with curves more than east asian women
If you eat Flaming Cheetos, Pork Rinds and go to McDonalds all the time... You will gain weight.
Not necessarily. Some people have super fast metabolisms and don't gain weight no matter how much they eat.
There's a reason Asian BMI is considered a distinct category. Genetic influences have a lot more to do with it than diet. Japanese cuisine might be healthy compared to the Western diet, but the typical Chinese diet isn't exactly full of healthy foods. East Asians generally have ectomorph frames, which is the typical swimmer's/sprinter's body.
If we can acknowledge that attributes like height or eye/hair color are determined by hereditary factors, why wouldn't that also apply to weight? The detractors who believe our life outcomes are solely determined by our environment are either entirely ignorant or have their heads in the sand.
Im an asian in asia and that gene must have skipped me because im almost 400lb
I’m a Chinese man. Been skinny all my life. Any time I put on some fat my body immediately don’t get hungry anymore. I believe in genetics.
your vids are majestic, that's great💋
Just from observation southeast asian tend to be akinny fat, south chinese tend to be thin.
It's not just genetics. Still takes work to not be overweight.
More like discipline when not in an environment where healthy food is cheap and convenient. Kurzgesagt just published a video describing the science behind the pointlessness of exercise for weight loss.
I have autoimmune and been drinking medication and suddenly my weight is uncontrollable and my face becomes round. So it's a struggle even if I'm eating a balanced meal.
@@HotohoriTasuki24yes. The steroids and other medications can make you gain weight or your face to appear puffy. I've a friend who has lupus and there was a time when her face was very round. Selena Gomez also gained weight due to her lupus, I think (plus, she's older too). I think like any other person, her weight yo-yos and that's OK. I wish you good health always. 💐
some group of ppl are raised with fast food diet in their childhoods and continue to live on it the rest of their lives. many asians do not have rich governments who pay for their fast food....so....there is the answer.
Andrew is so funny! 🤣David is beefy. 😶
Genetics evolve from environmental conditions and can also be engineered. A predisposition to anything (obesity, alcoholism, diabetes and even some forms of cancer) is inherited through genetics passed down by any ancestor. Having a predisposition can also apply to some addictions like alcohol and nicotine. Having a high predisposition to some conditions does not mean anyone will inherit those conditions.
Instead of fat and muscle mass, the food we eat gets turned into cholesterol 🧈🥲
REAL
You're on the far end of the bell curve.
If you are a thin Asian, get lab work done. Asian female in particular are at high risk. My wife is Chinese and very petite/thin and she has high cholesterol
This is proof Polynesians are not related lol
That's stpid, there's literally linguistic, genetic and archealogical evidence that proves you're wrong.
Really? Asians are getting heavier. Just checkout the videos of people out on the street. Compare the current videos against the old videos, say from the 70s.
Even from the late 90s to early 2000s, just ~20 yrs ago. Indeed, many Asians are getting fatter.
Korea and Japan in the last 40 years have 10× their intake of beef and dairy, resulting into taller and heavier generations. While other races have remained steady, asians as a whole are getting bigger and taller at a faster rate.
Europeans used to be very small. You can tell these in ancient ruins. But, Europe flourished, resulting into the current height they are now.
Even 20 years ago, it was rare to see 6 foot asians and obesed Asians. Now, they are common in Korea and growing in number in Japan. This, along with a growing number of health problems typically more common in the West.
Vietnamese, however, remained unchanged because they are poorer on average and only eat right portions of meat.
They are skinny for a reason. They dont eat excess amounts. People get obesed because of excess fat intake their body dont need which can only be rid of through physical activity.
While Asians are getting taller on average, the rest of the world have become steady. Human bone structure can only on average go as far as gravity allows it. Humans as a whole can only grow on average of a certain height. This, may explain why this phenomenon of Asians getting taller at a faster rate is happening.
Asian american kids are taller than their parents, but it is not just happening in America. It is happening in many parts of Asia.
In conclusion, Asians are indeed getting bigger vertically and horizontally.
So the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell especially in Asians 😹
Shoutout to the Turtle chips 😅, my newest addiction=> so important to exercise lots also in order to lose the gut
My girlfriend is Chinese/Filpina and she's thicky 🇨🇳🇵🇭❤️💖💗💘💖
She's controlling every morsel that goes into her mouth, so genes are at fault here.
As a fat Asian, all I have to say is "WTF"!!
No, lots of Asia eat at midnight.
I wish I have the Asian skinny gene. I'm South East Asian and I'm thick AF! 😅 I have to limit my carb intake, so I can't eat too much rice or noodles or bread. Otherwise, I'd balloon up so fast. I'm 5'9 but weight around 220 or 225. BTW, Andrew, hate to break it to you but you're skinny. 😬
I blame the high consumption and massive amount of highly processed foods available to us. Our genes aren't immune to the abuse we do to it.
David "You can't tell until you grab it" Fung
Nah! I'm not one of those!
I'm not the athletic asian, I'm not the smart asian, I'm not the crazy rich asian either! 😢😢😢
Life is hard! 😭😭😭
❤
It depends on whether you're speaking of Asians in Asia or Asians in western countries.
Been to Gap in Japan & saw XXS Men shirts😮
That is one gene I sure as hell didn’t inherit😂
Gene missed me
It does not sound like there is not enough research to draw a conclusion.
I look asian and I am 5’9” and I am only ~136 lbs. I don’t really look skinny though.
6:00 don’t forget asian street food
Probably explains the skinny Asian competitive eaters.
I weigh between 108 and 110. I have to control my intake.
😊 it's crazy that bolo buffer than Batista in old age Asian no raisin
Then why do I have a beer gut?
Stop eating junkfoods and snacks actually help loosing fat, and sleeping also important because body is sweating while you're sleeping.
Sweating sounds disgusting but it helps loosing fat, but don't push it foo far especially in summer like this.
Just walk everyday with enough amount of time
I must have not gotten this gene
Giant and Strong Sumo Guy - Hello My Friends.
They intentionally do this though. They eat a specialized dish everyday loaded with carbs. Anyone will be heavy with that kind of dish, especially when you eat it everyday.
Hahaha I am part of the m7b1a1 group but tzuyang is on another level than me 😅
Yeah, she's just super human.... 😂
No theres not 😂 well at least i dont have that gene then. I thought i had a fast metabolism as a kid but turns out it was just cause i had PE in school. I got fat real quick once i stopped taking PE and still ate what i normally ate.
I definitely need some more of that skinny gene so I can get into my skinny jean
yes there is.... its called not eating a freak ton of food.
I've been eating junk food and drinking tons of beer for decades and I'm still thin. It's called metabolism.
Apparently, god ran out of this "skinny gene" when they made me. It was "out of stock". womp womp 😅😭
Dude with the hat looks like an Asian Floyd Mayweather.
I’m Asian, I should know.
Just go to Africa non-industrial areas, people looks slim.
Bro the asian gene didn't work for me, i'm straight up chinese of the Han people. I love food.
Yes, the gene. Obese people don't eat as much as me.
I did not get those genes had to workout and eat healthy to be lean.
In American culture, women don't like skinny men. They prefer tall, big, large and even fat men. Anything but skinny. Subconsciously it makes them feel more protected.
I guess thats another reason y Asian men suffer in the dating scene in 🇺🇸
This is false. Don't speak for women.
I used to be skinny
The secret is #MSG food.....
I’m Asian but I’m fat
Yeah this complete non-sense. Asians typically are smaller in size compared to other groups but they are capable of obesity like anyone else. There are plenty of overweight Asian Americans and plenty of Overweight Asians in Asian countries.
Asian cuisine, while delicious, is definitely not healthy either. Korean BBQ is like 2000-3000 plus calories after your meal especially if it's AYCE. Chinese food is incredibly greasy and fattening. Japanese food, I will argue is healthier. Thai Food is healthier than most other Asian cuisines as well but still full of oil and carbs.
Disagree. Chinese is definitely not greasy or fattening you must be referring to take out spots which are considered the fast food version of it and you are mentioning all you can eat Korean bbq? Majority of Asians are slimmer than the rest and less obese overall. The study proves that now.
Who came up with the idea han and labeled innocent people han? They can’t label innocent people like that…
So it’s my Spanish blood, like Shay Mitchell, that makes me fat? 😂
haha buset
Asians are skinny because they care about what they look like and how they fit in socially.
What?! Damn cuh im chunky
say what?
That's assuming all Asians are skinny
That's ignoring possible differences between people of Asian ancestry in the U.S. vs Asians in Asia
and the study only applies to Han Chinese, It really doesn't make sense to apply it to all Asians.
It probably has more to do with diet and peer pressure. From what I've seen, Asians do not let up on weight, Even if you're a stranger.
These figures increased to 22% after researchers used personalized BMI calculations for Asian adults.
Based on the personalized BMI calculations, researchers found variations within six Asian American subgroups. About one in four Filipino, Japanese, and Asian Indian; one in six Korean; and one in eight Vietnamese and Chinese Americans had obesity, based on self-reported height and weight. The authors conclude the findings could help healthcare providers and public health practitioners identify and support adults at greatest risk.
-Variations exist among Asian American adults with obesity
Also, these studies are talking about BMI not body fat percentage.
I wish these studies would look at body fat percentage, knowing that is more accurate.
%BF was highest among Hispanic males (28.2%) and females (35.7%). %BF was lower among non-Hispanic Black (23.9%) compared with non-Hispanic White (26.0%) and non-Hispanic Asian (26.6%) males. There was no difference between non-Hispanic Black females (32.7%) and non-Hispanic White (33.2%) or non-Hispanic Asian (32.7%) females. FMI was higher among Hispanic youth compared with non-Hispanic White youth. Among youth with underweight/healthy weight, predicted %BF and FMI were lower among non-Hispanic Black males (−2.8%; −0.5) and females (−2.0%; −0.3), compared with non-Hispanic White youth, and higher among Hispanic males (0.9%; 0.2) and females (2.0%; 0.5), while %BF but not FMI was higher among non-Hispanic Asian males (1.3%) and females (1.4%). Among females with obesity, non-Hispanic Asian females had lower %BF (−2.3%) and FMI (−1.7) than non-Hispanic White females
-Body fat differences among U.S. youth aged 8-19 by race and Hispanic origin, 2011-2018
Asian-American women had the lowest BMI (21.5 kg/m2) but the second highest PBF (27.8%). Linear association between BMI and PBF was the weakest (r2 = 0.09) among Asian-American women and BMI had the poorest sensitivity (37%) to detect PBF. The high PBF with low BMI pattern exhibited by Asian-American women suggests that they could escape detection for obesity-related disease if BMI is the sole measure that estimates body composition.

So no body odor gene and no obesity gene. Both are wins lol
If this research is peer reviewed and is repeatable, then this would go beyond diet and exercise. Genetics is something that is relatively difficult to overcome with diet, exercise, and lifestyle choices alone. I guess I would count it as a “perk” of being East Asian… but it’s in balance with other pros and cons of your genetics.
There’s always exceptions, of course!
Yo
I have that gene 😊
15:14 You can artificially induce that state not through genes, but gut bacteria. The more you eat crxppy food, the more you facilitate the growth of harmful bacteria that make you crave more and more worse stuff, and the more you restrict yourself to healthy food, the more the healthy bacteria are able to flourish and outnumber the harmful ones. Sort of like if you compare the pxlxcxng policies in Japan vs. California or something, but inside your body.
More evidence keeps coming out showing how much your gut biome actually heavily influences your emotions much more than the vast majority of things that could influence how you feel and think.
So eating healthy, doing probiotics, and various other more niche gut health measures will make jxnk food taste grxss. I remember in Txxwxn this one hapa girl I talked to said she grew up never eating meat, and one time she tried frxxd chxckxn and then just instantly pxked everywhere.
So you got IQ, smells, and bodyweight. Now you just gotta do body hair. 🤣🤣🤣
Not sure if I'm missing anything else beyond that.
4:51 Eating more carbs will make you more fxt. I think the main reasons are that American food is way more processed, has way more sugar, and way less vegetables, in that order. Also the culture is more sedentary and people drive everywhere and barely walk, even in most major cities. Beef and milk are not a major problem, and probably more of actually a good thing overall in terms of keeping a healthy weight, if you're eating those instead of processed food or sugar.
The American and European obsession with beef and dairy goes back to the ancient proto-Indo-Europeans in the Eurasian steppe who had a nomadic pastoralist lifestyle highly dependent on cows in specific (which is why Hindus worship them), which is extremely similar to the lifestyle of Mongolian, Turkic, Tungusic, Siberian, and most other North and Central Asian groups whom the Indo-Europeans genetically branched off from before settling in the North Caucasus and admixing with them to become genetically Caucasian themselves.
Nomadic pastoralism is also why the symbols of Hinduism, Buddhism, European Paganism/Folk Religion, Daoism, and lots of other non-Abrahamic Eurasian and Native American religions (Native Americans being an extremely diverse group of offshoots of North Asians) use very naughty swirly symbols (representing wheels among other things) to represent their beliefs, since they were nomads and had horses and cows, etc. pulling all their stuff around in wheeled chariots, wagons, etc., sort of like the Oregon Trail but all year round permanently.
