This is part of the societal misinformation and programming you need to let go off, the Asian's eat a starch based diet, it's heavy in rice/rye which are loaded with carbs.
There is nothing wrong with starch based carbs, this is the food humanity eat ever since they were put on this earth, they consisted of grains/legumes/vegetables/fruits with meat being a luxury for the wealthy people.
The Somali diet now has become heavy on meat/diary/oil abandoning everything their forefathers used to eat, this was known as the rich man's diet in ancient times (they regarded starch based food to be a thing for the peasants) those pharaoh's and elites of those times died of the same diseases that we do today and suffered from obesity as well on all the studies done on them.
The diary and meat of today are loaded with all kinds of chemicals/steroids/Synthetic hormones/residues of all the antibiotic drugs they are injected with and the animals are fed GMO grains (unnatural to them) instead of grass which they naturally eat.
We are basically consuing poison and then we wonder why everyone has brain-fog, is obese or unhealthy, we went from having sorghum for breakfast to now Suqaar laden with oil/butter instead and that filthy poisonous unnatural oily suugo on everything.
They do this because the Somali's in general are 'Xaasid', when I hit 240 pounds I used to get those same lame comments, you could see I looked clearly unhealthy but they said this was the best I ever looked, the only difference was that I knew they were lying.
Shaah is actually good and not a problem, it's the oil/dairy/meat that are the problems, when you cut them all out and go on a starch based diet you don't even need to exercise to loose a lot of weight very quickly.
In fact when I went back on the old diet my mum used to feed me before I moved out I had a major injury that stopped me from exercising for a whole year and still dropped 50 pounds like nothing, besides these are healthy living foods that give you so much energy you can't even sit still.
You're a fine human specimen i must say abayoo. Would you mind if i slither in your dm's
