I’m of oriental heritage and would say that I have the average build of a male at my age and height. However, some tend to believe that a lean build is because of one’s ethnic background. I personally believe a person’s physique is based on what they put into their bodies and how they train it rather then race. People are fit because they choose to be, not because they are destined to be. I've seen fat and thin people of all races.
I do agree that the oriental diet is more favourable to a slimmer physique because it’s composed mainly of freshly stir-fried vegetables. But who’s to say that everyone can’t have this same diet? If you choose to have a diet of excessive refined carbohydrates with no physical activity then you’re just asking for fat gain.
Here are some great Asian stir-frys that I love that can help curb that addiction to fat and unhealthy foods. These recipes contain lots of vegetables, are easy to prepare and taste great.
Let's stop making excuses for your bodies and make a conscious lifestyle decision to get to where you want to be. Fitness won’t discriminate again race, so let’s set some goals and take time daily for your health. Get off that couch tonight and go for a walk. Opt for a quick healthy meal instead of a fast food dinner. Or have a piece of fruit for a snack instead of that chocolate bar. You always have options in life, so choose the best ones for you.
