FAT

Well it is that time of year again, when everyone starts worrying about their body weight, and those gym visits begin to increase...everyone wants that hot beach body...but are you actually going to achieve it!?! That's what brought us to the arguable topic...is weight due to nature or nurture? It seems way to intertwined for it's own good, most likely if your parents are heavy people they geared you to eating a lot of food while growing up, ultimately leading you to be a heavy person. As much as we try to fight it, we tend to inherit many of our parent's habits from food to activity. Think about it, were you raised to drink Pepsi with dinner? or Milk? Sometimes it's these little details that help us understand why our bodies and health is the way it is at an older age...and habits are definitely much harder to break when you're older! But many on the other hand argue that its pretty much in the genes due to different metabolic rates and genetic build up...if the parents are overweight, then most likely so will the kids since they have a tendency genetically to already gain weight much faster than that wafer thin model you see on the catwalk (or maybe that's because the cocaine we're not sure!) Again, think about it...one person can eat a chocolate cake and never gain a pound while the same piece of cake with the same amount of calories will add an extra ass for someone else. Yeah, it's not fair but each person's body is different. Some here at S&H think it's more of a habit thing rather than a nature thing, if your used to stuffing your face at 10 pm then going to bed, it is inevitable you will gain weight...but if your used to a healthy diet most likely your going to look good (with a little bit of a work out your pretty much golden!) What do you guys think??
