The pasta has veggie made sauce, so in reality it's less carbs more veggi... hard to calculate lol XD

Consider that you are eating more veggie and fruit than meat and pasta put together.

do your dimensioning based on total weight AKA if total food eaten is 200 grams, 72g - 120g will be veg + 2-3 fruits, 80 - 128 grams total between pasta and meat.[DOUBLEPOST=1374615496,1374615444][/DOUBLEPOST]
They are TINY :)

Yes, that also explains probably why average height in Italy for males is only 172cm and 156cm for females lol
 
Thing is, its not just about diet. A big factor in Chinese and Japanese health rates is the fact that they walk absolutely everywhere. Low impact regular movement will do wonders for your health and obesity rates.

every time i go to Japan ,China or Taiwan i see more and more people riding in cars or mo peds and less people walking in turn i see larger and larger people every time i go back . so i agree that its not just about the diet

Korea, land of skinny :)
 
Good story and interesting experiences / opinions abound.
Like others have said, balance is the big key. Listen to what your body needs, it has many ways of telling you how to balance.

I'm living proof of this, whenever I am back in the states for over 2 weeks I gain 10 pounds, in turn whenever I go to Asia I shed 10-15 pounds.
Walking = Good

You got that right, outside of Japan the wealth rates are increasing and to show it off people elect to stop walking, then they get fat.
This is overly so in Korea, but its amazing to see how much fatter every country in East Asia has become over the past 5-7 years.

In Japan, people are just getting lazy exactly the same way 'Murika did in the 80's. With that waist lines are exploding.
It might also be that more often the cheaper on the go alternative is fried crap because no matter how bad the base ingredients are the crispy fried coating tastes great and profit lines soar. French Fries were nearly a luxury item in 2007, now they are available at every corner convenience store.
The steamed or boiled fish and meat products are being overtaken by the fried reprocessed garbage.
Its starting to look like a typical US truck stop; one place has a 6 inch fried chicken by-product stick filled with cheese.
Its so popular they have trouble keeping them in stock.

Someday the world really will look like they did in WALL-E
