Asian diets may be higher in carbs, but what kind of carbs? There's a huge difference between eating a lot of rice and eating a lot of sugar and refined flour. I lived with a Malaysian visa student for a year, and she ate a *ton* of vegetables, plenty of fresh meat (is this sounding familiar? ) and only small portions of rice or noodles. She rarely had any baked goods in the house, not even bread. No chips or candy. I also rented a room in a house owned by a Chinese couple, and noticed the same thing. Yes, there was always rice in the house, but meat, fish and veggies were their staples. Rice was just the side dish.
Food for thought.
