Rice breaks down to simple sugar so how do Asians stay so thin when the largest part of their diet is white rice?

Rice is not the same as sugar - eating complex carbohydrates like rice and potatoes actually makes the body work harder for the sugar/energy than eating junk food like chips and candy.
Also, most Asian countries eat plain rice, not rice with fattening sauces, and they eat healthy fish and veggies along with the rice.
