IMO 95% of people who blame genetics are lying to themselves more than anyone.
The obese people I know all refuse to eat vegetables and at best go to the gym irregularly because none of their hobbies qualify as exercise. Live on the 2nd floor but take the elevator every day. Would rather drive than walk 10 mins.
Fitness is 70-80% your diet.
Arrr these goah darn genes.
People either ask me how i'm staying thin or just straight up tell me that i'm lucky. When i tell them that i eat healthy and don't drink and so on, i already loat them, they don't actually wanna hear that. They wanna gear something like: oh i just take this magic pill every morning.
Ok but some motherfuckers really do have it different, I've known multiple people that eat/drink/don't exercise as much as anyone and still stay thin. They ain't healthy, but they stay thin most likely from a high resting metabolic rate of calorie burning (in other words, still CICO).
Yup that's been me, though after turning 30 it started catching up with me and I got a little skinnyfat. So now I work out 3 hours a week and I do a lot more walking (thanks Pokemon GO and Walkscape!)
