Fat Genes Are Real!

There was a report out last years revealing that scientists had discovered a gene called FTO which increases the risk of becoming obese for those who have the gene present in cells. People with the gene are more likely to become overweight, plus, they will always have a difficult time trying to lose weight.

The good news is that the weight gains are reported to be only a few pounds, and that people who are more than 15-20 pounds overweight can only blame a small percentage of the weight gain on the "fat gene". The reality foir many overweight people is they have eaten too much and exercised too little.

The gene is inherited from one or both parents, and it has been reported that if a person inherits the gene from both parents then they'll be even more likely to become overweight in the future.

The research can partly explain why some people find it so hard to lose weight consistently, and also why some can eat lots and never seem to gain much weight.

However, the researchers did say that healthy eating and regular exercise are still key to maintaining a healthy weight regardless of whether we have the gene or not.

So don't despair and keep moving!
