I worked with a lot of Japanese and Korean ladies. They kept their weight down because of social pressure to be thin. Certainly home cooked meals does help, but most of them would skip meals to lose weight. When you would meet Japanese or Korean wives of Americans who had lived for sometime in the States, they were invariably obese.

You guys are hilarious. So many comments talking about "toxic" this or "starvation" that. Nonsense, pretty much nobody in Korea intentionally starves themselves to lose weight except for maybe a handful of idols. Yes, I'm Korean. The three biggest reasons are: 1) Healthier food. Korean food is rarely processed and is chock full of veggies. 2) Walking. Most Koreans walk everywhere instead of driving. Lots of calories lost just going to school, going to restaurants, going karaoke, going to the store, etc. 3) No entitlement culture. Women in the west believe everyone should be attracted to them even if they are clinically obese, else "fat shaming". We don't live with these delusional ideas.

I eat a lot but stay in a normal shape. It's because I eat a lot of veggies and drink enough water and walk when it's needed. And the thing is I'm an indian. It's not difficult coz if you eat healthy you'll be in a good shape

I am korean but what she said is partly true. It is true a lot of people here do diet but we do eat a lot of fermented food like kimchi which helps digestion and almost all our deserts is fruits and Bingsu which is made out of shaved ice and we normally drink iced americano out of other coffee choices and we eat a ton of veggies even eating meat, we wrap meat like galbi with ssam and other lettuces. There is no meal we eat that doesn’t have vegetables in it. Even our chips have seaweed chips etc (although that is still unhealthy but a lot of us dont eat that many chips because people around us don’t and our parents always tell us chips are unhealthy which is true) And we eat a ton of stews and soup made out of water and we always drink tea. Although it is true we have desserts like donuts and burgers etc but we normally eat traditional korean cuisines and we always walk around. Even if people aren’t dieting, if you eat korean food. Traditional korean and not fast foods, it is hard to gain as much fat as in the west because of the food we eat. There is definitely chubby Koreans but compared to west like US, UK much less in comparison

I am an Irish woman who lived and taught English in Korea for over a year - didn’t see anything extraordinary about the various body shapes - there was a good mix of thin, a few pounds over weight and over weight. Their food choices varied between very healthy to very unhealthy. What surprised me when I was there is that they didn’t see the attraction of building muscle as a woman or staying fit - I think those views have changed now. Ps. I won the female category of the mile race in my school only coming second to the male Korean owner of the school.

In my experience, I keep my body in shape by minimum sugar intake. If I take sweets or sugar more, I tend to carve for any unhealthy food, always carving eventhough I am full already

It's not only about koreans.... If you eat home cooked food which involves lots of veggies, pulses... And drink plenty of water you will be healthy and fit.... Readymade foods and fast foods are always unhealthy

I recently read an article written by Asian professionals pointing out the mistake people often make when comparing western body types to those of Asian descent. Yes, Asians tend to be smaller, but many have high body fat composition due to having less muscle on their frames. This causes them to develop obesity related illnesses such as diabetes and hypertension at a much lower body weight compared to people in the west. I was also guilty of this assumption, but now I know better. Bottom line - one cannot determine a person’s health simply by outward appearance because looks can and probably always will be deceiving.

Absolutely!!!Since fast foods entered Asia a lot of them have gained weights I follow a Korean MD imminent fasting and gave up processed foods I feel so much better and daily exercise and red meat no more

Because of society. When I did a few semesters there, i felt so bad for my classmates. Theyd always be on some type of extreme diet. One girl was following the diet of a kpop star from girl generation. She passed out a few times on us before. All she ate was a small bowl of rice and apple. Then the clothes sizes are hilarious. I dont know if this is still the case but when I was there, it was one size fits all but it was really one size fits barely anybody. The pressure is the same for the boys as well.

Inspiring and I especially liked the eating fermented foods and promoting a healthy lifestyle

Everywhere there are people who eat a lot yet skinny,and people who do lot of exercising and diets to maintain their figure. Just because you are korean or always eat homely food don't make everyone slim. If that was the case then,all these korean actresses who eat one meal a day/ one tablespoon of rice a day wouldn't even have try that hard. Don't blindly believe all the things said in such videos.

I mean I’m a Chinese teen who has been living in Canada for 10 years (I’m 14 btw) and I’m relatively thin while still following western customs. Oddly enough, my physique seems to take after my environment because I’m curvier than the rest of my family who still live in China. Thinner too, though that may be because of my hatred of oily food. Everyone seems to love KFC and McDonald’s in my hometown, but raw vegetables are my favourites. In the village raw vegetables are like a sin because people seem to think they’re bad for your health. I eat cake too, but I bake those myself and they don’t have a lot of sugar. I don’t know if any of the things in the video actually affect their health, since there’s also factors like metabolism, eating disorders, and beauty standards to consider, but as an Asian living and breathing Western traditions I definitely don’t think it’s affected me.

All that food looks delicious! I want to try it all! Especially the soups!

Although the beauty standards are there, yes, but food does really play a big role. Koreans don't eat much sweets and there are many soups and vegetable dishes with minimal oils and fats. This makes the food much healthier than the food from the west which are mostly covered in butter. Fresh raw vegetables and fishes contribute to good skin and hair as well. Soups are filling, with less calories. So yes, you can eat more korean food without eating too many calories, compared to western fast food.

Define "west", because back in the Mediterranean part of Europe, where I come from, our food is nothing like your described, and it's globally known as one of the healthier cuisines in the world. There's also surprisingly lots of similarities with Korean cuisine as well. Anyway, what's healthy is an arbitrary matter, because, as a renal patient, I can assure you Korean food tends to be stressfully high in sodium (salts), which is linked to high blood pressure, and is causing the swelling of one's body (making you look fat) due to excessive water retention. Korean food is delicious, great and all, but it's dangerous to ignore the downsides, which are, unfortunately, present in every country's cuisines. Because health is no simple topic.

OMAD or eating twice a day is called intermittent fasting which is healthy to our body . Skipping one meal or two meals are not that bad as long as you eat meal that could satisfy your cravings at the end of the day . Intermittent fasting helps lower our insulin in our body which causes weight gain and it also helps our organs to regenerate. And because of it Korean or east Asian would look young even in their 60's . Because intermittent fasting increase our growth hormone and the effect is to slow down the aging process.

I'd love Korea culture food especially stew with tofu ,bean sprouts and needle fungus. In Korea and Japan, whenever they eat meat or bbq ,it comes along with fresh raw cabbage ,lettuce and Chinese mustard greens. Their rice portion is kind of small in minute bowls. They don't tend to eat greasy ,especially Japanese foods are simply plain only with healthy ingredients. These people always care how much they need to eat in a day.In western culture , hamburger , french fries,pizza,steak kind like Mc.Donald's ,KFC ,Burger King are likely their daily food. These junk or fast food mostly make them obese. However, many young people in western countries always go to gyms .So ,they too are in their shape . But final fact in all case is that most of the slim people are on diet and eat less than others or sometimes skip meal .Without effort ,we cannot create a thin and fit type of body.

i havent watched the whole video but i have a feeling in many places its basicly they are either over weight or average and then they wanna lose weight

A lot has to do with the whole beauty standards in Korea.(especially in the entertainment industry) The women get it bad when pressured to be a certain look and weight. The extreme diet, skipping meals if they feel so. Though I’m sure there are those who are able to maintain themselves. This is just one of the main things that’s been goin on

Watching this before I go to bed and all this food looks delicious 😃

Some Asian ethnicities do not produce such high quantities of insulin as other ethnicities. This means they don't create so much body fat but also means they tend to have high blood sugar which isn't dealt with so effectively and can cause problems. Thinness helps with health but isn't the only thing.

Peer pressure also works wonders

as asian my mom always cook meal we only eat and go to restaurants just 1 a month and more of our meal are vegetables and fermented with rice

Biggest takeaway for me is caloric deficit combined with resistance training for a lean non bulky appearance.

Kimchi😍and fermented food...love them❣And some sea weeds are just delicious

My problem are the cravings. I cook always at home and organic with lots of veggies... But then... Suddenly my body craves cookies! It's an emotional thing. I think l use sweets to calm me down.

The main reason is the beauty standards which they follow or are forced too. Or they may end up being bullied. I'm happy that I'm born in a country where people are not much bullied. I am from India. And the main reason why we have different body type is because of the food we eat. We Indians mostly consume carbohydrates and there is a particular reason behind it- our ancestors mostly worked in fields so the food they consumed mostly had carbs because they needed energy to work, so even we had followed the same diet. That is the reason why most of our dishes contain high carbs...

I've lived in Korea for 5 years now and I can tell you the reason why they stay slim is 1. societal pressure 2. eating disorders. My MIL is tiny and thin and I see her go daily eating only one or two very small meals with no snacks. It's sad. She drinks coffee all day long and barely eats.

You guys are hilarious. So many comments talking about "toxic" this or "starvation" that. Nonsense, pretty much nobody in Korea intentionally starves themselves to lose weight except for maybe a handful of idols. Yes, I'm Korean. The three biggest reasons are: 1) Healthier food. Korean food is rarely processed and is chock full of veggies. 2) Walking. Most Koreans walk everywhere instead of driving. Lots of calories lost just going to school, going to restaurants, going karaoke, going to the store, etc. 3) No entitlement culture. Women in the west believe everyone should be attracted to them even if they are clinically obese, else "fat shaming". We don't live with these delusional ideas.

Why do people here think everyone has an eating disorder and people have pressure? Just because you're fat doesn't mean everyone is fat. Please don't feel inferior. Look at the reality. Isn't it strange to compare Korean food with Korean people who eat vegetables as their main food and you who eat high-calorie garbage every day?

Ok, I'm sold. I need to start eating the Korean way!

But the point is to maintain that lower weight, which dieting is not the way to do it. When you take something out of your diet, you'll see immediate results...until your body adjusts itself to what it's lacking, which is why they gain the weight back and why it's a constant yo-yo with dieting. Eating a BALANCED meal is the key to slimming down and STAYING slim. It's why Asians, not just Koreans, mostly are skinny. Asians are REALLY good about eating balanced meals.

People of all nationalities gain weight and there are heavy people everywhere although it is a lot more common in some countries than others

Korean food wonderful 😋 Where although does the heat of Chilli spice play its role. Was Chilli introduced to all foods as it seems to be from my experience. Is this traditional or modern style 🤔? Kimchi is very spicy . Kim means gold Chi is balance grounded

Fermented foods must help a lot too. I love kimchi, but my family hate the smell. Any suggestions?

It's the same in Czech Republic. Everyone there is slim. Their food and water is cleaner and more natural, leaving you full quickly with small portions.

Everything you mentioned

Can you make videos how to cook Korea food please in English and tell every sauce to use

Basically no processed foods

I think it’s great to eat healthy in any culture. I’m just worried about K-pop being more popular in US. I think young millennials and zgen have done so much in creating body positivity and acceptance in the states over last few years. There are many Asian female artists who suicide themselves or become anorexic due to unrealistic societal demands. They get bullied being too feminist, too provocative, too big, too old, etc. I think people should learn to see beyond the outward appearance and learn to see beauty in a multifaceted way about a person. I would really hate for body positivity movement to go backwards.

If by "body positivity " you mean being ok with a highly unhealthy weight , then I think a little "korean" discipline would be beneficial to americans. If koreans put too much pressure on themselves to be thin, the US is at the other extreme, putting morbidly obese people on the first page of health magazines. The middle way is the best way...

@@Liope012 : Exactly why my first sentence started with “eating healthy is great.” No one is trying to glorify obesity. I just think there’s many facets for societal norms and pressures that the west don’t realize in Asian countries. If you ever researched body types found most ideal by different countries, you will find that many Asian countries morph the subject to extreme thin. While we all should keep healthy by exercise, eating right, and consulting doctors for the right nutrition plan; it’s never ok to change oneself by looking at an entire culture of people and say “yup let me just do what they do and then I’ll look like them”. This is so unwise to follow. I also wish people can stop skipping sentences and stop trying to be so extreme.

Why me even I eat slot but I'm not getting bigger still slim.. I want to be chubby but how.. can give me more idea

You made Google read the whole thing that is so funny.😁😁😁

My cousin lives in Korea . She says there’s A lot of eating disorders going on , laxatives being used , and those mukbangs you see ? You’re basically watching live bulimia …yes the food is healthy honestly any where else than the u.s we literally use so much high fructose syrups and the portions are ridiculous. Our small fries is a large in other countries ….

The thumbnail is wrong. It should be KOREA vs AMERICA, not the WORLD. I'm from the Philippines. SouthEast Asians and South Asians do not easily get obese. Yes, we can be fat when we age but we do not gain weight as fast as Americans do. Also, being slim is not just common in Korea but also in Japan, in China and some other Asian countries.

It's true that the type of food is different and nutritious and it's also true that East Asian frame and body type are different, BUT it's also true that the reason is the normalized ED and toxicity when it comes to appearance in Korean society.

I ate seaweed a lot when I was 10, which I was overweight but I never gained any weight until covid
