[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think the study is conclusive enough for us to stop exercising/ watching what we eat. And blaming genetics is too much like hand-wringing for me. Admittedly it plays a role, but no one seems to know the extent of it, so you've got to do all you can to fight it if you're not one of the lucky ones.
I was plump in my teens but the weight dropped off in college, and I've been small ever since (34 now). But then I have never let up exercising or watching what I eat. I'm also vegetarian and avoid processed foods. I never deny myself anything, though. I drink wine and eat desserts 2-3 times a week, make ice cream at home, etc.

FWIW, I'd like to recommend my breakfast - 2% greek yogurt, homemade granola and some stewed fruit. I work out first thing in the morning and then eat; despite that, this breakfast is so satisfying that I am almost never "hungry" at lunchtime, which is helpful.[/quote]

I think the problem is portion sizes and the average person's comprehension. I am a huge fan of posting calories, and I disagree that it's mostly about what or how much you eat. Staying active is important. Knowing how to read labels and calculate your daily food intake and regulate your cravings to avoid overeating is important. Knowing the 'shortcuts' (like PP mentioned, eating dessert as a meal if that's what you really want) for your body is important.  Realizing that eating in is almost always better than eating out is so incredibly important. And getting enough SLEEP - so many people do that. The moment I have a bad night and get 6 hrs or less, I start craving CRAP. [/quote]
