Comments on Do You Think Genetics Affect Your Weight?
Yes, I do believe that genetics play a part in your weight. I have a sister that when she was born had extra fat cells and the doc told my mom that she would always have trouble with her weight and she always has. And her little girl is the same way. I think genetics factor in how your metabolism works, your thyroids, and even pschycological factors like a person that is a comfort eater. Im not saying its all due to genetics because a lot of it is choice to. Because we choose what kinds of foods we eat and how much we excersize. But some people gain weight easier than others and some people lose weight easier than others and thats the part thats genetic.
