[quote=Anonymous]From personal experience coming from a large family with 8 children, having 4 of my own kids, and going from BMI 26 to BMI 20, I think the main genetic components are appetite and the fullness trigger. The people in my life who are “naturally skinny” simply do not eat as much as those who are not skinny. They aren’t trying to eat less. They just don’t want to eat as much. It had nothing to do with metabolism. I grew up with the fast/slow metabolism myth as is perpetuated in our society, and I honestly did not believe I had control over the size of my body outside of a certain range. I have always been athletic and active. I never binged or starved myself. I just enjoyed food and drink, which was fine until I stopped being as physically active. When I finally learned and truly internalized the belief that the size of my body was based on the number of calories in compared to calories out, I lost weight easily. [/quote]
