Question: Are some people obese because of genes instead of a poor diet!? Or just born to be large!?
I've been dating a girl who is, to say the least, very overweight!. I'm not judgmental though, I look deeper than that!.

What baffles me is that she lives with me, and I see the way she eats--any food she eats begins with either "light" or "diet" or "low fat" and lots of leafy vegetables !.!.!.In fact, I honestly don't see her eat much at all, to be perfectly frank with you, and

Yet, she still remains overweight! I always had the assumption that obese people are overweight because of, well, a poor diet!. Eating when not hungry, eating junk foods constantly!.!.!. so it brings me to a question of how can it be possible if someone is eating healthily, they are still overweight!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Obesity is often hereditary--it could even skip a generation!.
My mom and I eat healthy and we go to the gym once a week!. We still remain overweight!. We don't eat junk food--include plenty of salads, fruits!.

The problem is our metabolisms have slowed down and I also have Hypothryroidism!. There can be many medical conditions that can make one gain weight!.

For now!.!.!.go for walks with your girlfriend!. Excersising on a regular basis will help!.!.she may not lose wt, but she will tone up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

does she exercise!? maybe that's the reason why she's not losing weight!. exercise and diet NEED to go hand in hand for someone to effectively lose weight and be healthy!.

also, there are people who are predispose to become overweight!. there are specific genes and conditions (like cushings) that causes people to remain overweight even if they do eat healthy!. there are people who have to undergo gastric bypass just to lose weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
