So I went to Japan….theres not really many fat people and I maybe saw 2-3 morbidly obese absolute chonkers the whole time whereas in the US, go to a Walmart or target and the majority of people are obese.
Here’s a fast food meal from Sukiya. Just salmon, rice, miso, tofu. And you can wash it down with a zero calorie oolong tea. Even for more unhealthy stuff, portion sizes are 1/2 the size of the US, and a large drink at McDonald’s is probably 20 ounces vs 32 (or 44 lmao). 7/11 and convenience stores all offer low calorie/healthy meals, they’re everywhere. And vending machines and stores sold so many different types of unsweetened coffee and tea. Also apparently Japan fat shames heavily. I think we should be more like Japan. Lots of skinny DYELs there too ofc, but that’s preferable to obese. And I did go to golds gym and another gym there and it was very fun and there are some ripped guys (but all natty I think).

They also have plenty of deep fried food such as tempura, as well as western style fast food.
That’s true but you’re not gorging yourself on tempura (which itself is like 200-400 calories a serving, nothing crazy) or western fast food every day. And I’d be willing to be a gorillion dollars the few honest to goodness chonkers I saw were gorging themselves on western not Japanese food to get to that weight
I also went to Japan recently and made the same observation. Straight up, in Japan fast food is healthy.
I think it has a lot to do with parenting skills and keeping traditions. Shaming fat people is a modern age thing so I am assuming japan is really good at keeping traditions alive, through parents of course.
When did america give so much power to children? All these wild new things are very child like in nature
>Shaming fat people is a modern age thing
I meant to say "Not shaming fat people"
And the lack of israelites
They also have McDonald's and all kinds of other unhealthy shit, dumb weeb.
They don't have same menu items, the only thing that is kept the same globally is the big mac meal. Do you also believe chinese food here in america is the same as chinese food over in china?
It's still shitty fast food though and mostly similar. Also all the -ya shops like OP mentioned have SOME stuff that is decent but it's mostly trashy gyuudon.
You are always better off to cook yourself and have control.
Japs are skinny but they have a high body fat percentage which is bad too.
The vast majority in Japan are under 20% bf.
>Food 😐
>Food, Japan :O

>Japan, bugs :O
>go to a Walmart or target and the majority of people are obese
One of my best whitepills was going to a Walmart just before Christmas in the flyover town I grew up in. It was crowded and everyone was still white except one Latinx couple. I only saw like 4 technically obese people and two were older women but not too bad tbh and the other two were tall PAWGs wearing yoga pants with athletic looking bfs and no visceral fat on any of them. Some ppl would be borderline on the BMI but more so just thicc. Only a few of the guys looked dyel and still they weren't fat really. Even the boomers looked mostly healthy.
Maybe we're back.
Really scratching at the bottom of the cope barrel, I feel for you.
I want to believe that
Gym culture is big in thee US
Statistically speaking flyover states outside of colarado are MORE obese than coastals.
I have seen a lot more obese people in the south than I did up north and west too.
>oolong
Wheres my fricking sencha?
Agree 100% though
I've watched a lot of Japan videos on youtube.
I am shocked at how many different foods they eat every meal. It's never one thing.
They will have breakfast and there's 4-5 different plates and bowls, including soup, fish and rice.
To me this seems insane, how do they have time to prep all of it multiple times a day?
Women stay barefoot in the kitchen
Truly a superior culture
A lot of the side dishes are pickled, so they just make (or buy) a big batch and take a small portion out as needed
Rice and soup are meal prepped in big batches, veggies take 2 minutes to chop and prepare, dried seaweed is stored in bulk and ready to eat, all that’s left is cooking your protein of choice. It takes only 5 more minutes to prep a trad breakfast than pouring a bowl of cereal.
>soup are meal prepped in big batches
Miso soup isn't, but it's super easy to prepare
I used to do it all the time for my gf (Japanese) for breakfast
Spoonful of miso, hot water, stir, chop a block of tofu and put that in, put in some dried flakes of seaweed or whatever => done
Takes less than a minute
I used to cook her a standard breakfast of a fillet of salmon, bowl of rice with a raw egg, & miso soup, and maybe some pickled sides.
Very quick and easy meal to prepare if you remember to put the rice on an hour or so beforehand
what's the english word for miso
with miso he means flavor or else your soup is just hot water
Matsuya > Yoshinoya > Sukiya
Next trip I'll have to try the better two then
The leading factor is the lack of driving/drive-thrus. these meals aren’t meant to be eaten while in your car on your way to work. It’s sit down food whereas you can get conbini slop when on the move. They also don’t usually have high school kids working there.
>BRO A SCOOP OF RICE AND UNCOOKED FISH WITH HOT WATER!
>NOT GOYSLOP LIKE AMERICA!!
How does it feel like to be jacked in japan?
I was like third biggest guy in the gym in Japan which was amazing. Lots of stares everywhere, some people even talked to me at gym (and Japanese people don’t like talking to strangers in general)
In the US I’m like dead middle in terms of size in my gym. Lots of black guys on steroids (some natty though) benching three plates at my gym
When will you morons learn the issue in seppostan is simply serving sizes 2-3 time everywhere else?
As an ausgay who lived in japan for 2 years and goes back every year, there was no major change to my diet aside from food being significantly cheaper than here.
There's something in the water and air in America because, at least on paper, a lot of Japanese fast food is unhealthy.
>beef bowls: low quality meat soaked in sugar and more sugar
>curry: sneed oils and spices often served with sneed oil fried meat
>konbini bento: low quality shit with oils and other preservatives
>offhand, I think japan has the highest number of approved food additives in the world or something to that effect, so it's not as though their food is cleaner in spite of this
>western food is still popular enough, with kebab and burgers and such being easy to find
>frick-huge sweet tooth for crepes, pastries, parfaits, sodas, etc.
Kebaba really aren't a think outside of meme cities
>on paper, a lot of Japanese fast food is unhealthy
>reality shows differently
>so in conclusion it means their diet is unhealthy and american water is whats causing us to be obese
Japan doesn't have a super car-centric culture. Just walking around burns around 120-150 calories for them, which every little bit helps.
>Japan doesn't have a super car-centric culture
Yea but they have really good public transportation; bus, trains, and subways. Its equivalent to driving, getting out of the car, and walking to your destination....
It's still walking. A lot of them stand on the bullet trains and standing burns 60 more cals than sitting does.
nta but actually walking and living in a city with good public transport are different things
its not as same as driving, but in euro capitals, a day that has you going to the office, working and coming back home will involve 3.5k steps at tops, where in my small-ish euro city where I have to connect between lines, I walk 10k steps every day
Hmmm I guess you have a point. Walking to the terminals to get the ride is more than walking to your driveway. However, I wouldn't say walking is the main reason why obesity is lower. Poor people usually have to use public transit but america would still lead in obesity if we only considered poor people
yeah probably
it is my understanding that you have a consumption problem
Black person, Americans load up their plate with shit, it doesn’t matter how “unhealthy” something is if you only eat 1600 calories a day
>There's something in the water and air in America
Are you really trying to say air and water is whats making america fat?? We're just going to ignore the calories...
I thought the water was only turning the frogs gay. Apparently its also making us fat!
lmao imagine if this idiot was actually right and there was some super secret ultra bulk chemical in our waters and air
sounds DYEL asf
t. fat ass azn murican
ive always wanted to visit japan. i hear steroids are legal too, which would be even more based.
but yeah hearing about how you can literally eat healthy food everywhere you go so readily available and socially accepted just makes me fricking sad to live in the west.
They are not. Sale or possession without prescription carries jail time. Any time you hear something that sounds like bullshit on the internet about another country, just remember most americans do not own a passport
That's blatantly false.
I lived in Japan 4 years and roided.
I'd import my roids from overseas and every single package was intercepted by customs and opened.
Never once lost a package or had the police give me shit about it, not once.
Additionally, you can get (weak) steroid cream from pharmacies over the counter.
It's called GLOWMIN, it's a 1% steroid cream for helping recovery of injuries (normal testogel is like 5%)
>In Japan, steroids are classified as Schedule II drugs under the Narcotics Control Act, meaning they are strictly controlled substances. The possession, sale, and distribution of anabolic steroids without a valid prescription are illegal.
https://legalitylens.com/what-is-the-legality-of-steroids-in-japan/#Is_human_growth_hormone_HGH_legal_in_Japan
Under Japanese law, there is no law prohibiting the purchase of medicines that are not designated as narcotics. Please note that poisonous and deleterious substances are not medicines and are therefore treated separately. The sale of pharmaceuticals is regulated by the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law (Act on Assuring the Quality, Efficacy, and Safety of Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices, etc.) and can only be carried out by qualified persons. Sales by unqualified persons are illegal. Anabolic steroids (male hormone drugs) are designated as prescription drugs, so they can be purchased at pharmacies with a doctor's prescription. It is illegal to sell it to anyone without a prescription. There are no laws regulating the purchase of anabolic steroids, so personally importing anabolic steroids for your own use does not violate Japanese law. It is a violation of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law and Medical Practitioners Law to resell it or allow others to use it.
well, in countries that existed for more than 1000 years or so, people carried on the tradition of grabbing a bite while walking from place a to place b, and these items tend to be healthier than industrialized Meccas
not taking shots at US but you should expect healthier fast food in many parts of the world, although I concede japan is healthier than most
Being American there is such a a big difference between cities, towns, etc built before 1945 and after. In a suburb built before 1945, more so in anything that hasn't been leveled since the colonial era it's much the same as it is everywhere else in the world.
Compare NYC and LA for extreme examples of this. NYC is mostly a shithole again but you can still live without a car. LA is a fricking terrarium, you cannot live without at least uber or something.
Everyone hypes up salmon as a big part of a japanese diet but it was only popularized in the 80s after Britain started exporting a bunch to them. Tuna is the more "classic" fish, especially for sashimi/sushi. In fact, Salmon sushi was only invented after farmed salmon was popularized since it fixed the parasite problem so it's funny watching Amerilards try to imply wild caught is healthier because of *made up paleoinspired argument*
I went to Japan some years ago. Got kicked out for filming a dead guy in a forest.
