As a Vietnamese man living in a Slavic country (Czechia), I have often figured out pretty late in my life that I have to approach a lot of things differently (hair products, skin care etc.). Right now I am interested if that applies to weight loss as well.
I am 23 years old, 100 kg (220 lbs) and 173 cm (5'8"). I am commited to a low carb diet with a calorie intake around 1500-1700 kcal per day from my regular diet of basically high carb meals, junk food, ton of sodas/energy drinks and ~3000 kcal per day.
Lately I've been really busy so I have been involuntarily skipping meals. After some backtracking I found out that I've been living even for multiple days straight on 900-1000 kcal (most heatly meals) without feeling overly hungry.
That made me think if I should approach dieting differently. I gained the most weight since I started living with Czech people and Czech meals consist of starchy and fatty sauces with fatty protein (bread and meat for every meal).
Unfortunately by searching the internet I have found only vanity magazines basically saying just "LOOK AT ASIANS! THEY THIN! EAT LIKE THEM!"
I understand that nutrition is completely subjective but I am interested if there are any objective differences between Caucasian and Asian dietary needs. Is there any literature that I could use or do you have any tips for me please?
tl;dr: Are western weight loss regimes for me as an Asian less effective and are there any alternatives?
