Question: Is being overweight genetic!?

apparently not as much as "lack of willpower"!.!.!.!.!.!.just don't eat too much sugar and fatWww@Answer-Health@Com

The propensity to become overweight may be inherited, but that doesn't mean a person is going to be overweight!.!.!.they just may find it more challenging to stay at a reasonable weight!.

My mother's family were all large (overweight people) and I've fought the fat since I was a kid!. I don't accept that because most of my relatives are large, that I have to be also!.!.!.i've been large and when I was it was because of what I put in my mouth, and my lack of enough activity/exercise to burn it off!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The experts appear be unsure if being prone to obesity is due to an inherited gene or not!.

It does seem that some of us have a higher metabolic rate and as a result can consume calories staying slim!. Whilst others of the same height and build will expand width ways when consuming exactly the same!.

Also, people who have insufficient food do get thinner!. Perhaps those with a slower metabolic rate, in times of famine, will live longer on reduced rations!.

We can not blame our genes for being fat though!. We get fat simply because we take in more calories than we burn up!.

It is fair to note that people who live in warmer climates tend to be of a smaller build than those who have, for generations lived in cold parts!.

In that respect, genetics do play a part in body size!.

Yes but that is no excuse!. I know a girl who blames genetics on why shes obese when she can't put down the Twinkies!. I know another girl who's parents are very obese and she is at a normal weight because she controls how much she eats and eats very healthy!.

Depends on your self control and how strong you are mentally!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The tendency to be overweight can be due to genetics, but it is not an excuse to be as obese as the US has become!. It just makes it harder for some people to maintain a good weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
