[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think younger  people, presuming this PP is in her 30s or younger, Are at a disadvantage when it comes to fat. Is it baby formula they’re fed that is made from soy? Exposure to plastics all their lives? Overuse of antibiotics? Something throws the endocrine system off.

I’m not boasting, I’m stating an observation: my generation (I’m almost 50) had very few young women with abdominal fat. I’m short and I never had any fat around my waist. I still don’t. I work at it, and I exercise and eat right, but that can’t explain why so many younger people have had to deal with weight issues and us older people did not (not as much anyway). I have some fat these days that I can pinch on my butt and upper arms and I’m chalking that up to age and not being motivated enough to go on a super low carb or super low calorie diet. I like bread too much.[/quote]

There were a lot of ppl with abdominal fat in your generation but they hid it better. [/quote]

I respectfully disagree. I went to a large high school and we recently had a reunion - looking at pics from the old days we didn't have fat stomachs, tall, short or average height. It's an observation. There were definitely young women with hips and butts - that's pretty normal given hormones. Belly fat is an endocrine issue. I really think that the environment changed and younger women have been screwed - it's not under their control. [/quote]

^^^^ Also more young men have belly fat these days. Environment has to be the factor.[/quote]
