Why do Thais seem so slim, even though they eat fried foods, sweets, and sugar literally every day?

I've been living in Thailand for 16 years, and in that time I've realized it's not all about "magical Thai food." In fact, many dishes here are much higher in calories than tourists realize.

In this video, we'll explore:
— why Thai food creates a false sense of lightness,
— how much sugar and oil is hidden in ordinary dishes,
— why tourists initially lose weight and then gain it back,
— what Thais really eat,
— and why it's more about lifestyle, habits, and food culture.

I'll talk about Thai drinks, tom yum, pad thai, hidden sugars, snacks, street food, Asian food culture, and real-life observations after 16 years of living in Thailand.
