I agree. Regardless of our predisposition to obesity (and some genes must tilt in this direction) we know that if our national eating and exercise habits hadn’t been so appalling, the level of obesity and related disease wouldn’t be like it is. No study is required to understand this better. What is more important is the need to take action for our own benefit and to stop our heath system from imploding!

This just goes to show that sometimes actions can counteract genetics. There is no excuse not to exercise, not even obesity!

I have found that taking vitamins and supplements are an important part of overall health.

I come from a family with many obese people. I was also obese. The sad state of my close relatives’ health is what inspired (or scared) me into changing. Now, I am living proof that with some determination and support and good old fashioned hard work and primal nutrition that obesity can be overcome. I get so many comments and questions in regards to my body transformation. As soon as I say that I “work hard and eat properly” most people grunt and sigh and give up hope right there. Perhaps the “genetic” link is one of irresponsibility and laziness? Why are so many people envious of what I have done and yet won’t do it for themselves?

As for the Amish I believe they also eat a LOT of sugar. I live not far from “dutch country” and sooo many of the products the amish bring to market to sell are loaded with sugar, even thier pickles. That said the younger Amish usually appear to be in excellent shape. Perhaps when they get older and slow down a bit the lifetime carb binge rapidly catches up.

Thanks for your answers…tomorrow I’m starting with dumbbells…

Crystal, my basal temp varies between 97.0 and 97.2.

Son of Grok…yes, right now I’m focusing a lot on cardio…actually on cycling. My goal is to ride 112 miles over 2 days next month…the reward to be a new Specialized Vita Sport from my Sweetie.
