I think it genetics to a point but I think anyone can get fat if they try hard enough.  I don't think anyone is sedentary, eating a diet high in saturated fat and empty calories and walking the runway.  

Habits are formed by the people who raise you which could easily make it appear that fat is genetic when really habits are passed down.  

I learned to eat very well as a child.  I had essentially zero processed or fast food until I was old enough to earn my own money and buy my own.  That said, I fell in love with some of that processed crap and have to work at weight management now.  I think had I kept an organic diet, I might be able to fool people into believing I'm a "naturally" thin person.

Your genes determine where you gain weight, you determine how much you will or will not gain. You inherit poor eating habits and lifestyles from your family, this is true. But many people in my family are not skinny and the ones that are work out and take good care of there bodies. ]]> Wed, 12 Dec 2012 22:40:30 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/why-thin-people-are-not-fat_topic352065_post9989961.html#9989961 <![CDATA[Why thin people are not fat : Too bad I actually have to work...]]> http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/why-thin-people-are-not-fat_topic352065_post9989954.html#9989954 Author: tropical-punch

That's the only part I found interesting.

They were probably in for non-violent crimes, or in for bs reasons.

Carbs are the devil for me but are so delicious. I can have 3 days of pigging out on high carb junky foods and the scale would reflect it with a quickness. I am sensitive to carbs though.. I think..

So, I have to cut my carbs to lose weight.
I also have my thyroid working against me because it deviates from slightly hypo to slighty hyper at the drop of a hat because of my hashimoto's I have going on.
But thyroid problems are inherited from my mom's side.
It is important that I work hard to get my weight off and keep it off because of the things that are passed down from my parents.
 
My cholesterol is perfect though! My doctor told me she does not remember the last time she has seen such a perfect balance before. And I have eaten my fair share of junk and carb ladden foods. I am lucky to have great health despite my previous bad eating habits.
 
I have since adapted to working out and eating better and I noticed that my weight is not quick to creep back up when I do have a few days of 'bad eating'.
 
And I honestly believe that genetics have quite a bit to do with it.
