I've seen a lot of overweight South Asians where I would expect in the early days that they'd have numbers that are proportionally worse but they're actually not that bad and so in my theory run that and based on that study - is they have larger subcutaneous fat stores to insulate them on top of that the other thing that's very unique about their body morphology is again I look at their legs their legs are more muscular because they're carrying around a lot more weight they've got larger thighs larger calves so I think the combination of the increased insulation from the subcutaneous fat and the elevated muscle stores from the legs is probably helping metabolize those lipids better
