I actually wondered about this question myself yesterday and got the answer.
I was at a massage yesterday and my masseuse was a very beautiful and skinny Chinese girl. We started talking and I found out she is a mother of 2 at the age of 24 but she only weighs 104 lbs!

我昨天思考了这个问题并得出了自己的答案。我昨天去按摩，按摩师是一个非常漂亮苗条的女孩。聊天中我发现她已经是两个孩子的母亲，24岁，但是体重只有104磅！

Everybody in the US either drives a car or take a bus or the subway even if their destination is very very near. I have visited Austin, Texas many times in the past and everytime I mentioned to the locals that I walked half a mile or 1 mile to get where I want to be, they will always react with shock.

美国人不是自己开车就是坐巴士地铁，即使目的地很近。我去过得克萨斯州奥斯丁很多次，每次我对当地人说我要走半英里或者一英里到某地时，他们都感到震惊。

I can answer this question after losing weight and living in China for 12 years.
they don’t like sweets and cheese. I often enjoy an occasional ice cream, chocolate chip cookie, snickers bar, etc… when I share it with my Chinese friends, most say it’s too sweet or I can’t eat more than 2 slices of pizza!
Low caloric food. A sufficient portion of vegetables is always necessary with every meal. Burger and fries with a leaf of lettuce won’t cut it.
Workaholics and the need to walk hours everyday. Most Chinese don’t own a car (and even if they own a car), it takes them an average of 1 hour to walk to the store and back for groceries. Where Americans can park their car within 20 feet from Walmart’s sliding door.

在我减肥成功并且居住在中国12年后，我觉得自己可以回答这个问题。他们不喜欢甜品和芝士。我偶尔会吃冰激凌，巧克力饼干和士力架等等。和我中国朋友分享时，大部分都说太甜了。低热量食物。中国人每一餐都会有足量的蔬菜。工作狂和每天走路。大部分中国人没有车（即使他们有车），他们一般会走路去购物，来回一个小时。
