Did you
know?
My whole family is over
weight so I guess I was born to be heavy. Is that
true?
No it is not true.
Genetics do play a role in your predisposition
to gain weight and be heavy. But lifestyle is the key factor.
Only 3% of obesity is caused by a genetic defect or medical
problem that causes people to be overweight, like Type I diabetes or thyroid
problems. So the other 97% of weight problems are due to lifestyle
choices.
More likely than not if your family is over weight and so are
you, then you probably have the same lifestyle. Your eating habits
and level of activity are probably somewhat the same.
Unfortunately it is harder for some people to stay in shape and
not be over weight compared to others. But the fact is that more likely
than not you were not born to be fat.
Remember from previous fit tips about calorie intake and calorie
output and how much fat to eat and how much exercise to do.
Keep these things in mind and be sensible and you to can have a
healthy body weight.
Have a Healthy Day,
