| Genetics play a part in a person's metabolic rate and thyroid function which both impact on the body's ability to burn fat efficiently. However, having overweight parents does not mean you are destined to a lifetime of obesity and disease. This just means you have a little bit more work to do to train your body to burn fat more effectively. This means you can't get away with cheat meals and skipping exercise as much as others can. It means you have to be more disciplined to get results. At the end of the day, it comes down to making a conscious decision to adopt a health enhancing lifestyle, and you will soon enjoy the benefits. | |
