[quote=Anonymous]There has been some research that it is not just calories in, calories out. I tend to agree with this. But, I also have an obese mother who eats very healthily. Cabbage, green beans, spinach, tomatoes, fish, etc..She is always saying "some people eat worse than me and are not heavy..." But, what she forgets is that she adds slices of bread with something every day, that she grazes all day long in addition to her main meals. So, I think people that gain a lot of weight while claiming to eat healthily are fooling themselves, like my mother does, what you do in between your healthy meals does count. But, I also think there is a fat gene and a skinny gene, and that it is not all black and white, genetics play a role. But, many overweight people fool themselves thinking it is the genes, when you see obese parents with obese kids, usually it is the way they eat, not just their genes. I know that people say I eat a lot and don't gain much weight, but people see what they want to see. In the end, there are many factors, but it would be best to understand that for most people it is about calories and that most people are deluded about how much they eat. It is a defense mechanism.[/quote]
