re: Your DNA is not a good predictor of health

That’s not true. If you look around, your average person of size has been on every diet and exercise regimen ever and still can’t get the weight off. Most people of size eat better and exercise more than you in vain to try and slim down


Scientists think that the “starvation gene” developed in cavemen due to it being a good idea to keep a little weight on so they could survive the ice age

I bet you don’t have that gene because “your great grandfather was Italian”

Weight can be such a poor indicator of whether people are too fat and arguing about what causes more or less body weight needlessly complicates the discussion of what causes people to be fat. If you are fat, it is because of what and how much you eat. Exercise can build muscle and is good for you but the old saying, "you can't outrun your fork" puts the emphasis where it should be for people who want to get rid of excess body fat. It's what you eat. If you measure it in calories, then then it's calories eaten versus calories burned.

I work 50-60 hours a week, help raise a child, and manage to lift weights for an hour 5 days a week. You have no excuse.

This needed to be in the thread? Nobody asked or gives a shite.

The size of your fat azz is a predictor.

Move, eat / drink well, sleep and sunlight.

Live long and well.

I miss mingo

Hopefully his height exercises pay off

If this is true, then why when you see the doctor for say high blood pressure do they wanna know your family history?
