This is my observation as well. I lived for a few years with one of the lowest obesity rates in the world - Vietnam. The diet isn't necessarily that much more healthy - it's super carb heavy.
But portion sizes are very small. Workers doing heavy construction work will have a large bowl of pho for lunch. That's like 400-500 calories. They are super lean and muscular.
