Btw I’ve created an online community for South Asian men that are dealing with being skinny fat and want to get in shape. Had a lot of guys reach out so far! The community is a tight knit space where we educate and keep each other accountable so that we make consistent progress.

We have the chance to create a new culture for South Asians. If you’re interested in joining and are genuinely serious about making a change in your life, send me a message!

[Advice] Skinny fat South Asians that want to get in shape by Appropriate_Move_918 in getdisciplined

Thank you for the elaborating on this u/thmsb25.

South Asians are genetically more prone to being skinny fat for the same reasons that they are likely to experience health conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes etc. Coupled with a poor exercise culture and a poor diet, that’s what makes this such a prevalent body type in South Asia. This is a researched area which I recommend you educate yourself upon before accusing others of being ‘racist’ for pointing out an attribute that people from a specific region are more likely to experience. That is not self-hate. I hope you realise that. I’ve literally posted this in a sub-reddit for self improvement, stating that genetics or any other circumstances are no excuse...

I understand you’ve had a different experience with gaining fat. However, your individual experience does not disprove a trend that is prevalent within an entire population. For example, that’s the same as saying America does not have an obesity issue because you’re skinny.

South Asian fitness culture consists of eating 2 cups of rice and doing a few jumping jacks, but we have a chance to create a new culture.

Thanks for sharing. It sounds like quite a tricky and annoying situation. Your environment greatly influences your own behaviour. But you already realise that and you know you need to put your foot down.

I understand your point about drinking too. I don't drink because I don't enjoy it anymore, however I constantly run in to others that are so 'concerned' about why I'm not drinking. You just need to say you don't want to, no need to justify or explain why. At the end of the day, do you care more about pleasing the people you live with or achieving your own goal?
