Like the nipnongs and other Asians, foreigners don't really have much understanding of what we eat because restaurants simply don't serve our everyday food at people.
Yes, we eat a lot of carbs, but it's say our diet is more veg heavy than carb heavy, and that's even when taking regional dietary differences into account.
For example, my lunch today was pasta with cauliflower. It's a simple dish and, due to its simplicity, is simply not served at restaurants.
Vegetables are between 85-95% water. "Dry" pasta and other grain products are around 14% water. This is why 100g of various vegetables will hover around 40-100kcal while the called content if grain products will be closer to 400 for the same weight. You fucking idiot.
Blanch, shock and peel a tomato or two (about 150-200g) then crush by hand into a pot or pan.
Add five peeled cloves of garlic and 80ml or so olive oil.
Set to high heat then, when fragrant, saute until the moisture is cooked out of the tomato. Despite what Anglos think, this is called a soffritto (it's not a specific mix of ingredients, but a way of flavouring the oil to cook with; the weird literally means something like 'sub-fried' or 'under-fried' because it's the foundation at the bottom on which the dish is built).
Add a small, cut up head of cauliflower (650ish g or so) and saute until all bits are coloured red by the tomato-flavoured oil.
Add vegetable or beef broth to cover. Water and stock cube is fine.
Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and allow to simmer relatively undisturbed until the liquid is reduced out and the cauliflower is quite soft. > you can stop at this point and store the cauliflower in the fridge to cook in individual portions as needed; measurements above give four portions
Re-add additional water, about 1,5litres, and bring to the boil.
Salt as needed then add 300g of dry pasta, small shapes. Traditionally, a mix of shapes is used but just one or even just broken spaghetti or other long pasta is fine.
Boil 7ish minutes, stirring occasionally, adding additional boiling water if/as necessary if it boils off too quickly.
Serve with grated cheese and lots of black pepper.

Italians eat a lot of vegetables and fruits, and they walk a lot.
Yanks and Brits think they have to have meat with every meal, three times a day, which isn't true, then they sit on the asses and snack on crap all day, hence fatties
Yeah, I've gained some weight since moving to the US. I don't exercise as much anymore and really need to get back to that. Despite all my walking I've still gotten pudgy here. 1m85/6ft1 and 84kg/185lbs.
I say I'm euro fat, ameriskinny
If this is a comparison with the American diet then there is a difference between complex carbs like pasta and simple carbs like high-fructose corn syrup. We also eat less processed food compared to the US, partly thanks to stricter food laws.
With the fennel there, that looks like literally every Easter I'd ever had growing up, before the lamb it goat comes out of the oven and the greens come out of the pan. Just needs to put out a few stuffed mushrooms, too.
Carbs are needlessly demonized. Italians eat them, the Japanese eat them, you can eat them too. What you can't do is sit around all day eating chips and drinking soda.
People in poor countries could never afford to go keto, they have to get by on bread and rice. Yet they aren't fat. It's people in wealthy countries who get fat, eating meat and dairy and ultra-processed bullshit. Meanwhile the only wealthy countries which aren't fat are Japan and Korea, and they eat rice like it's a religious commandment. Carbs just aren't the deciding factor.
>Japanese and Italians have the longest average lifespans despite being drunken chain smokers >they both eat fish and walk around
eat fish and walk around
Y'know what's funny? The average Italian is taller than the average American.
I want expecting that when I moved to the US. My brother's retardedly tall (2m3/6ft8) and I'm only sorta tall (see

) but most Americans I encounter are shorter than I am. I looked it up and average US height was 175cm/5ft9 while in Italy, it's 178cm/5ft10.
I looked into it further and the prevailing theory is that the lack of proper childhood healthcare and diet in the US is stunting growth. The journal specifically brought up a case study of Mayans living in the US. In deep Southern Mexico, the average height for a Mayan man was 5ft4 IIRC (journal was a US publication so it used US measurements) but that of Mayan men raised in the US was 5ft8, explained by the complete lack of childhood medical care in their home region vs even the subpar care offered in the US. They brought this up to show that while genetics certainly plays a factor, the researcher could still consider medical care and diet stronger factors.
I looked into the researcher himself and he gave an interview about his study if human height where he said he was inspired to do so because he's manlet and wanted to know why lmao
I believe it. When I visited Minneapolis, I noticed the whites were about my height or so but when was in KC and OKC, they were just as short as here in Delaware.
I'd imagine that since the areas settled by typically taller ethnicities tend to be sparsely populated compared to the coast, it doesn't have much of an impact on average height nationwide
And? Anon said he visited various parts of the country and only saw whites of comparable height in Minneapolis

Their wheat products are not tainted by glyphosate. Their soils have not been raped and pillaged by industry and were built up “organically” for millennia.
When you are served an 'Italian meal' you aren't getting a true representation of what an Italian will eat. You're served pasta, for e.g, as the main item in the plate because it's cheaper. I true Italian won't eat a whole plate of pasta and a little bit of veg. It will be balanced the other way around with veg being the main ingredient and meat/cheese being more of a garnish. I'm from the med and our way of eating is the same. The most calorific and/or expensive items are used the least. This creates a balanced meal and doesn't fatten you as much.

What do you think vegetables are made of?
Vegetables are between 85-95% water. "Dry" pasta and other grain products are around 14% water. This is why 100g of various vegetables will hover around 40-100kcal while the called content if grain products will be closer to 400 for the same weight. You fucking idiot.

Mind dropping a recipe?

Oh, and i forgot the pic
Looks like vomit
Yeah, lol
Doesn't look great, but the taste and texture are nice. Risotto tends to have a similar look and texture.
Their diet consists of 90% cigarettes, espresso, & alcohol. Only 9% of it is carbs.
Italians eat a lot of vegetables and fruits, and they walk a lot.
Yanks and Brits think they have to have meat with every meal, three times a day, which isn't true, then they sit on the asses and snack on crap all day, hence fatties
I know it's possible to not eat meat with a meal in theory but I wouldn't want to try it
>Still skinny as fuck
No they're not
We're the thinnest euro-using country and third thinnest in Europe after Switzerland and Danmark.
Okay Mario better start losing some weight you fat fuck
Yeah, I've gained some weight since moving to the US. I don't exercise as much anymore and really need to get back to that. Despite all my walking I've still gotten pudgy here. 1m85/6ft1 and 84kg/185lbs.

Just admit you came here to get fat.
Don't get your perception of Italians based on East Coast Americans
These are not numbers to brag about lmao
among the lowest of the western world, only beaten by malnourished africans and tiny east asians. I'd say it's fair to brag

>Korea
>wealthy
lol
Average income in South Korea is lower than Italy and you think they're wealthy but Italy isn't? lmao
>dairy and protein are… LE BAD!
Ask me how I can tell you’re a swarthoid manlet.
Calories in, calories out. As shrimple as that.
Europeans are skinny because none of them have cars
>Japanese and Italians have the longest average lifespans despite being drunken chain smokers

They don't eat those carbs at MacDonalds and when they go out they go mountaineering. That's the secret.

Depends on where in America you go, the midwest and northern states have a lot of germans and scandinavians who tend to be taller

There's a lot of asians in US which drives the stats down. Average white male height is around 5'10", with nignogs being very slightly less.
>There's a lot of asians in US
lol
No there fucking aren't lmao
definitely more than in Italy. there are lots of other short macacos as well.
And? Anon said he visited various parts of the country and only saw whites of comparable height in Minneapolis
i'm just pointing that his observation is correct and explaining the reason his statistics was incomplete and provided a different impression.
are you one of those tiny asians or something?
>are you one of those tiny asians
Part Asian, good guess, but I'm 6'1.
Dad's half and 5'8, same height as my mom.
sup Elliot
Not even close.
I really don't understand why so many people on english internet hate carbs.
have even seen an Italian????
>she says, thinking james gandolfini and other fatmerican larpers are italian
lol
>she
>she cries, transgenderedly
They walk more than us and eat less corn syrup. Wa la
There is literally nothing wrong with carbs, this is just a lie spread by big meat and their meatoid shills
It's really that simple
Portion size, the great anglo filter
MUH CARBS
CARBS CARBS *sharts* CARBS???? CARB CARB CARB CARBS!?!!!! CARBS
CARBS CARBS CARB CARB CARBS CARB

We import wheat from America and Canada, tho.

ohhh gabone
mama mia
Trust me. There' *plenty* of fat italians
>t.italiano
It's not about the macronutrients, it's about how damaged the food is on a chemical level, usually from industrial processing.
The answer is portion control. Carbs in small portions won't make you fat. Especially so if you walk every day and don't drink sugary drinks.
Its because theyre ethiopian. They even lost a war against those spear chuckers.
Because they cook in olive oil not seed oils.
carbs don't make you fat, fat makes you fat
