I was wondering if anyone who has been to Colombia can agree with me on this observation. In doing my ongoing reasearch (still) I have noticed that most of the Latinas,who are listed on the various sites, as having children, seem to be in the best of shape in a visual sense. It seems like the only weight they seem to retain, is that in the breast area. Speaking from observing a few friends who have been/are married with children, their wives for the most part have retained the added weight all over their bodies, after having children. So is it something in the SA culture, diet, or just personal motivation that is the cause of this. Once again, I know this is a shallow post, but just looking for a personal opinion.

In my opinion, the wto main factors are

1)  Latinas breastfeed more than AW.  Making breastmilk burns huge amounts of calories.

2)  Latinas have their children at younger ages than AW so their bodies recover much faster and more completely.

Your job only paids enough to make ends meet. Usually, you don't have extra money for McDonalds, Burger King or the occasional salchipapas. No money for snacks when going to the grocery store, just enough income (if she is lucky) to buy the basics. Meat and Milk comsumption in SA is very low. Lots of people from SA have protein and calcium insufficiency related problems.

Most women don't have money to buy a car or gas, so they usually have to walk to work or to the bus station.

On the contrary, meat is a top staple for MY wife. Mostly chicken. However, you are correct to point out the afoot factor. Compare all the walking the average Colombian does to the the elefantes americanos lined up for the carry out windows, where walking from their cars to the counter is too much exercise.

I did a post about this subject in the recent past but nobody seemed to agree with me. I completely agree with your observations. The reasons mentioned thus far are true to some degree I'm sure. The fact that you noticed this doesn't make you chauvinistic nor shallow- just observant.

Well Colombia does not have political correctness, tort, child support, EEOC, disadvantaged, and equality laws as the U.S.

As the Colombian woman does not have any of the above, this also means the men are still in charge, so their main incentive is to keep in shape as they realize they are easily replaceable with a newer and younger model.

Unlike the american woman with all of the above, which for the most part  has produced nothing but laziness, arrogance, and AW hog heaven.

Think poverty and a LOT of walking. The breast area is possibly augmented compliments of some Gringo.

It's called LIPO, IMPLANTS, BUTTPLANTS, NOSE JOBS, TUMMY TUCS and all other assorted plastic. Latinas in Colombia are obsessed with the darn stuff
