They are more mobile and can enjoy outdoor activities, exercise and have less joint problems. They are considered my mostt to be more attractive than overweight people. They can look at fat people and be glad they don't look like them. Also, they save a lot of money by not spending it on excessive amounts of junk food and cakes. You are talking extremes. Someone who is 5kgs fat might be a lot happier. They are not stressed over minor details. Edited May 15, 2023 by bignok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost 15 kg eating lashings of cheese, which is 35 - 40% fat. OTOH, I avoided sugar, processed food, and high carbohydrate vegetables and grains, which all hydrolyze in the stomach to sugars. When I did that, my liver commenced burning fat instead of sugar, hence the weight loss. Last night I was at the market in Phuket town and had some fatty fried pork which hit the spot but I do see a lot eating deep fried salty meals and snacks and other meals deep in black soy and fish sauces. That is ok in moderation but I think not as a regular thing and isn’t the same as what your talking about I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marin Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 For adolescents its fast food but add to that the sugar laden diet. All sorts of sweet carbonated drinks, bubble tea, the sweet "Western" deserts. Diabetes is becoming a major health concern here directly linked to sugar. They do not exercise unless actively involved in a sport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't get much out of the village, no donuts, no pizza, no fatty icecream, no deep fried fat dripping chicken, no hypersweet drinks etc.etc.etc. They simply don't have the money for all that. Easy explains why they are still slim like the even poorer Laos fellows (who have basically the same lifestyle). They have no need for exercise. One neighbor 70+ is on the fields daily and works in the sweltering sun. No treadmills after work. Look at the world center of fattys and find the answers. Easy. 50 isnt even old. Elderly? 85yo is elderly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, intervention programs that aim to address the prevalence of suicide, especially for obese women, are needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plern Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 (edited) Sweet coffee and teas for women. The very definition of empty calories. Seems like the average looking women more letting themselves gain. Still lots of tight 20-40 yo. Yoga pants on MRT ???????? Edited May 15, 2023 by Plern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskerDo2 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 (edited) Their lives have been "Westernized". Fast food, sugary drinks, Starbuck's, etc. It's happening in more and more countries where Western food is introduced. A few decades ago most Mexican people were slim. Then the fast food restaurants from the US (KFC, McDonald's, Starbuck's, 7-11, etc) made their way there and these days most look 30 - 70 pounds overweight. The fact is, it's easier to be fat than to stay in shape. Diabetes is off the charts. Obese people do indeed die younger than fit people. Just look around. How many obese people over the age of 70 do you see? Few. As far as being happy, weight doesn't matter. You're either a happy person or you aren't. Just ask Santa. He's happy and fat and laughs like a bowl full of jelly. HOHOHO!!! Edited May 15, 2023 by HuskerDo2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think seriously skinny and fat people may be prone to certain issues but surely you would agree that most people with a big heavy body are less likely to be happy than those who are slim or a little bit fat. Some big guys can bench press impressively and throw a decent punch so they have some power sometimes but not sure that is linked to happiness or health.

gomangosteen Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 1 hour ago, kidneyw said: You see a lot walking along with a sugar drink in their hand. Not sure if that contributes. Swap sugar for beer. Given the bloated state of the average farang, this is a rather critical audience. As ot 2022 64% of UK males were overweight/obese it appears that would be an understatement based on the average one that's moved here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
