From what I've seen, they eat a lot at one sitting and the food that they are eating has a lot of carbs and oil. Sometimes they eat a little second dinner at night.
And cardio isn't a huge thing here yet.
It depends on their marital status.
Before they land the 'big fish' they need the looks, this is especially true for those who rely on their looks to lure the 'big fish' and reel it in. This is not unlike those who rely on their looks to earn a living.......With this type we all know what their worst fear is, the closer to 27 the bigger the fear. If they can't secure something by 28-29 it is worse than the end of the world.
So the motive to starve themselves until they look like a mummy is strong. Just wait and see what happens after they get marry. For those who inflate like a balloon right away you know what kind of girl you are looking at.....
To be fair, mainland girls aren't the only ones like that, plenty all over this planet are, it is just that their pressure is a lot higher. A truly sad reason for staying physically fit.
Depends on what you're putting into your body.
If it's veggies like greens, rather than starches, Then it's fine. they've been doing that for centuries.
I find that a lot of the rest of the time, if they're trying to lose weight (95% of girls here), then they will actually starve themselves.
And, yeah, they're putting on more weight, because of the oil and fast foods.. and coffee and tea.
Sinobear:
Don't you EVER say ANYTHING bad about COFFEE!!! Heathen!
I will forgive you THIS time, and let's just agree that there'll be NO next time.
Shining_brow:
Nice coincidence, Sino... I got bitched at today for my coffee drinking... latte w 1.5 bags of sugar. .
lol @ sinobear comment .... agreed mate..... agreed....
It must be all the grass they eat (and making a packet of instant noodles last a month) while they are saving up for i-phones and designer clothing.
High metabolism, they eat a lot but can't store much in tissue.
It makes the girls more attractive, but they inevitably get very hungry again within hours.
Don't expect anything to get done over lunch.
ScotsAlan:
I thought metabolism speed and weight gain had been shown to be the opposite of this popular idea. I am sure I have seen studies that say fat people actually have a faster metabolism. Something to do with fast metabolisms causing hunger for calories that is beyond the persons burn off rate.
coineineagh:
That could also be true. I admit to habitually associating thin-ness with high metabolism. Sweat glands are in fact a great indicator of metabolism, and I even sweat in winter when I exert myself. My body burns hotter, so I have a stronger core temperature, and I can wear less in winter without getting sick. Perhaps there is some truth to the "Chinese bodies are different" cliche, and "drink hot water". Having better energy reserves and more reliable body heating probably improves brain function too. But brains are said to work best in slightly cooler temperatures... Anyway, if this is true, Chinese probably have lower metabolism, and absorb less nutrients from their digestion. Perhaps this is why they like to cut everything so thin: More surface area for digestion, because large chunks might be partially undigested.
It's genetic, it has to do with their metabolism, they burn more calories than your average Western girl doing the same thing.
The downside, they spend a lot on food, can't do much efforts even on a slow carbs diet without feeling super hungry.
Metabolism slows down with age, thy start getting fat at around 50 if they keep the same habits.
Chinese guys don't get fat until 40 but they can't build as much muscle we can.

Chinese bodies are different...
(surprised nobody went with this|!)
They will eat like a bear if someone else is paying.
If they are paying.. half a cracker will do.
It's the same with phones.
Sinobear:
WTF do you mean, "...eat like a bear"? What bear would we be talking about here? Are you insinuating something here mister? First the coffee digs and now bears???
ScotsAlan:
You know. The bears that eat salmon and berries and all sorts of stuff, to fatten up for the winter.
Not like Pandas of course, that just eat low energy bamboo, rendering them unable to gain weight so they can't hibernate... Oh wait.
I exercise regularly (at least 3 times a week) I am still not very thin
