[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok but all of the “it’s about your appetite / the size of your stomach” posts are ignoring the fact that the average thin person has trained their body to not want to overeat by…not overeating. And vice versa [/quote]

I have not 'trained' anything. I have been like this my whole life. It is genetics. I don't see why some people do not get this.[/quote]

My husband is an identical twin. He and his brother were both rail thin until their late 20s. Now my husband is the thin twin, BIL is the fat twin. Genetics aren't everything.[/quote]

Is this a common finding in twin obesity studies, or an outlier?[/quote]

Where the twins live has more of an influence than genes. One lives in Mississippi, one is in Colorado. [/quote]

You're the only one talking about studies. The onus is on you to find it.[/quote]

Here you go: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejm199005243222102

You are wrong, genetics are much more important than environment. "We conclude that genetic influences on body-mass index are substantial, whereas the childhood environment has little or no influence. These findings corroborate and extend the results of earlier studies of twins and adoptees."[/quote]

No you are wrong.

Are you serious? The study you cited shows that people with that one gene marker are over twice as likely to be obese as the general population[/quote]

The study: "Food Habits Are More Important Than Most Important Obesity Risk Gene"[/quote]

Did you read past the title? The study showed that, by restricting your diet, someone genetically predisposed to obesity can overcome their genetic predisposition.  But you are still more than twice as likely to be obese as someone without that gene.[/quote]

It's both. Do you not see that? [/quote]
