Like all the websites you google say Chinese people are skinny because they eat low calorie diets and exercise and that is a lie. I know plenty of skinny Chinese people and they eat the same if not twice as much as fatter Chinese people. Chinese people are skinny cause they eat 7-8 bowls of rice every day which gives their body vitamin B1 and vitamin B1 is needed to metabolize fat and vitamin B1 must be combined with fat to be absorbed which is why people who eat black beans are still fat. It's the most common deficiency in the world. You don't have to eat rice to get vitamin B1 cause salmon and pork and black beans and green peas have it too which is why filipinos and eastern europeans are skinny. This is one of many nutritional failures that make some people over weight while others are skinny. Vitamin B1 also kills your appetite so you don't feel tired or famished during low calorie days or fasting days but it only works when it's combined with dietary fat.

I agree

I think it's possible

No clue

It's due to laziness

Don’t know specifics. Asians might understand better. They do have higher body fat percentages and lower resting BMRs than Caucasians. They say the skinny stereotype is attributed to their diets.

One trick you can use to sate your appetite is cook. The aromas tend to sate senses so you don’t feel as hungry. Although, I hate chopsticks. They’re like some kind of sick torture device that’s the equivalent of stapling a stomach.

I think if you're hungry all the time you're going to eat more. That's not selfishness. Everyone eats when they're hungry. So it's a physiological problem, not a psychological one. Unless it's "comfort eating", which is another disorder.

Again,

He is not a real doctor. Some quick research will confirm that for you. Some guy shooting his mouth off on YouTube has no validity.

Laziness most definitely unless you have a health condition
