Its the habits.

You can even test your genes for fat intake and body mass index – I found one company doing right that http://www.geneplanet.com/

My uncles and cousins have the typical skinny everywhere, pot belly look. Many of them have heart disease and diabetes. Genetics may play a factor, but it is a fact that they also don’t eat properly and don’t exercise at all. I’m broad shouldered and thin waisted and don’t even vaguely resemble them below the neck. I also have normal cholesterol and blood sugar levels. This is due to a very active lifestyle, and a proper balanced diet low in fat with sufficient calcium and protein. Sri and Runeatsleep have it right. There’s no substitute for proper eating and living habits.

all these drugs CONTROL the situation(s) (and in turn may make you gain additional weight) but they do not cure them. regular exercise for at least 30 minutes a day at an intensity which leaves you out of breath for a short time; eating breakfast; maintaining a diet rich in calcium, fresh fruit & vegetables, fiber and protein; controlling portion size; and removing processed foods from your diet (with the exception of a very rare treat) is the only recipe for losing weight and keeping it off. there is no room for excuses.

I know that many people would look at those stats and instantly think that the writer must be a black, latino, or white guy (or maybe even an east asian guy), but rarely would one think of a South Asian…now why is that?
