What utter crap! Watch what obese people eat and it's easy to see why they're obese. I work in a hospital. Most nurses are overweight. I see them in the cafeteria every day so I know how they eat. Obesity is no genetic inevitability. It's simple math. If you take in more calories than you burn you will gain weight. If you take in fewer calories than you burn you will lose weight. Even a genetic predisposition to a slower metabolism doesn't alter that equation. Aren't you forgetting that fat is stored energy (calories) that weren't needed to maintain body processes?
