You can get fairly proficient with them. Lota of chinese will hold the bowl up their mouth and shovel food into their mouth with the chopsticks.

I think the super spicy food only diet is a better way to slow down and reduce quantity of food consumed.

i could gain weight fast if i wanted to eating with chopsticks
i don't because i have self control you fat fuck

Is this a fat cope thread?

>>17667494
No, I switched to chopsticks for every meal and lost 30lbs. Achieved normal BMI. This not cope. Is truth.

Even bring them to McD's,TacoBell, pizza. Can eat that every day. But as long as I use chopsticks I lose weight

Plenty of Asians also eat with their hands

>>17667509
Yes, fat ones

>>17667436
It works!

>lost 30lbs
Good for you. Weird that utensils were your method but whatever works I guess.

>>17667436
Interesting idea.

Regarding chopsticks being difficult to use however, they arent. Theres a proper way to hold them and they are essentially like tongs but sticks. doesnt really require a ton of dexterity like you might think.

>>17667436
Why not just eat less? Like have self control?

>it's not my fault I'm fat, it's the fork

anyway, good for you OP

>>17667436
nice try but northern asians use forks and spoons

>>17667944

Explain this.

>>it's not my fault I'm fat, it's the fork

It literally is portion size you just suck at using chopsticks fatty.

The difference is the pace of eating their rice. A fork of potato mash is a lot more carb in one go and you barely have to chew.

>Have you ever yoused chopsticks??? It's really dificult. You can't eat as much.
Wrong. It's piss easy to use them like a spoon and shovel in food in your mouth, which is something that orientals do all the time. Your theory is shit.

So, I have been looking at obesity related statistics, and noticed something odd. Japan and South Korea both have very low obesity rates, being basically the only two 1st world countries to not have an obesity problem. But Taiwan, which is at a similar level of economic development, also mostly east asians, and otherwise similar in most ways I can think of, does have a growing obesity issue, with obesity rates similar to western Euro nations, and steadily on the rise.

So why is Taiwan getting fatter while South Korea and Japan are not?

Japanese shame fatties and have taxes on being fat.

I use chopsticks and still eat like a pig
if you get the rhythm right you can enter a shoveling frenzy

>>17667436
I'm a fat Asian and I use chopsticks wherever applicable.

>Have you ever yoused chopsticks??? It's really dificult.
I'm at the point where I actually find noodles easier to eat with chopsticks than with a fork. If you were to hand me a plate with chow mein and a fork, I would make a mess like a dumbass. If you give me chopsticks instead, I can pick them shits up like a motherfucker.

For what it's worth, Taiwan has a massive sweets/dessert culture, and even regular Taiwanese meals can be rather sweet compared to other Asian cuisine.
