When we think of those who are obese or overweight, we often think that a healthy diet and the right workout defeat any cause of obesity, even genetics. In fact, many argue that the obesity gene does not make it impossible to lose weight, only more difficult.

There are people who are born genetically with a higher metabolism , which obviously can ruin themselves along the way, but if they live it normally, it allows them to eat their fill, always be hungry and be able to eat, without putting on a pound of fat. They are the same ones who when they go to the gym do not need specific workouts, they lift a barbell and find an abnormal bicep, do two abs a month and have a sixpack. Believe me, that’s something I know well, my husband is like that.

There are people who are genetically born a little more unfortunate. They drink water and it is not known how it turns into triglycerides. They go to the gym, snort and sweat but have slower results than other people. Never put them at the same table with the genetically fast, or they will be bitter cabbage. The usual questions will start:
“Can you believe that I don’t eat anything?”
“But how can you not gain weight?”
And the bad news is that these questions will not be answered from now on, apart from:
“Forget him with super metabolism, and do more “.

And yes, because the only thing to do is to work harder even when you think you are carrying an obesity gene. The results will come anyway, explain the researchers of this study , which involved nearly ten thousand obese patients and found that those who were genetically unlucky had the same weight loss results as others. It takes patience and determination but good habits defeat bad genetics, at least in the context of the tendency to gain weight. So anyone who uses the card of being genetically unlucky is right about bad luck, but can’t use it as an excuse not to lose weight. Because if other overweight people have made it (overweight or severely obese, and without bariatric surgery), then anyone can.
