Is weight about genetics, diet and excercise, or both?

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

A lot of people claim being overweight runs in their family, but families live the same lifestyle, and eat together. So, if your family doesn't workout, and you eat unhealthy food at family dinners and gatherings, chances are, y'all will be fat. On the other hand, some people can eat like crap, and stay slim.

Genetics is a big contribution when it comes to determining a person's body shape. But diet and physical activity is much more influential when it comes to weight itself.

 

[Shadow King]

Being bigger or smaller than other humans is genetic but there's limits and people use genetics as an excuse when they've gone well beyond that limit.

It's a combination of all 3.

both

both

some people are natural endomorphs AND develop bad eating habits from how they were raised

person with that body type has to remain active and eat right to not put on weight
where others don't have to be so vigilant about food/exercise to stay in certain weight range.

Look at our grandparents and parents in the 70's. The same genetics but often times a lot lighter.

I gotta answer that question with a question. Have you ever seen a fat person in a famished country ???

The danger though, is that......being "slim" isn't always an indicator of good health.

Skinny dudes can develop have heart and blood sugar problems also.

Eating garbage and not putting on weight can lull you to sleep about your health.

Weight has nothing to do with your God damn genetics. It's just an excuse. Our ancestors DNA changed when they hopped off ships or some shyt and all of a sudden caught the fat gene? FOH

Facts

Go buy a smart watch it'll count your calories burned for the day, and you'll realize you're fat because you aren't active enough.

I use to be one of those "genetics" posters about being overweight, but I started to count calories, exersize and dropped like 80 pounds. Most people don't understand what they're eating, why they're eating it, or even the composition of a calorie. You have people who are programmed to eat certain things and don't have the conditioning to break fee. They will just shovel food down without thinking - Even some of their food knowledge is so arcane and broken. I had one broad get pissy at me for eating burger king(after I lost 80 pounds) and couldn't understand Calories in-Calories out when I got a whopper with no mayo and she got one of those fried chicken strip salads with extra dressing(the full fat ones).

These people really think that if they eat "healthy" that their magic body will come.

Not sure if trolling or serious question.

If you mean fat person in a poor country, yes.
Being big is a physical sign of wealth in poor coutries (Chris Rock made a joke about it,even)

Lot of my relatives had to UNLEARN the "poor country" mentality that FAT is better. "Gras" is the term in Kreyol.They developed health problems within 5 years after arriving here because of that mentality + processed American foods.
