[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a theory I have heard that I completely believe as they enter my 40s. Women that are objectively thin at this age are either a) genetically small. Look at their mothers and sisters. Or b) disordered. [/quote]

or c) work hard at it (not the same thing as disordered)[/quote]

Again, difference between fit and thin.

Women who are THIN as they age are a) or b) pretty much without fail.  Exercise does not make you thin.[/quote]

Not true. I know plenty of women who exercise hard (say 1 hour 4x/week)and do active stuff with families (hiking, swimming) and do not diet, just focus on eating healthfully in a sustainable way (lots of fruits and veggies, little junk food, desserts as an occasional treat rather than a daily thing). They are both thin and fit. There is nothing disordered about that, that's called a healthy, active lifestyle.[/quote]

Healthy lifestyles are great.  I'd also bet their parents and siblings are thin.  [/quote]

It kind of becomes a chicken-or-egg thing though. Are they thin because of genetics or because they too had healthy, active lifestyles they modeled for their children? I'm not ruling out genetics of course, but I do think people tend to underestimate how crap our diets tend to be and how sedentary our lifestyles have become.[/quote]
