I say this as someone who is American and has also lived in Western Europe and Southeast Asia. During my time teaching abroad, it was so easy to be slim! For example, in Southeast Asia, I noticed their food used so much oil and they often fried things and ate rice with every meal. Despite that, I lost TWELVE POUNDS in a month when I first moved there without even trying. In Europe, I was eating gelato everyday and drinking every weekend and still staying slim. In America, I came back from being abroad. I gained like 20 pounds and have tried everything to get them off. I also try to maintain high standards with my food, knowing how much American food can be processed/etc. I read all the labels, I shop exclusively at Trader Joes and Whole Foods. I go to the gym an hour a day and have lost hardly any body fat in the past 3 months.
