Is it true that some people 'just don't gain weight'?
Eighty percent of our body type is genetically determined. We also live now in a very toxic food culture. So as a result of eating all of this food loaded with preservatives and everything like that, we're training our bodies to become different than what we were genetically given. So your question was "is it true that some people just don't gain weight?" I think it is true that people just won't gain weight because their bodies, if their eating very normally and their eating to their hunger cues and their eating to their fullness cues and everything like that, their bodies, our body weight tends to have like a set point that's determined genetically for us. The way we mess around with that set point is by extreme measures. So dieting is an extreme measure. So that's why a lot of times when people diet a lot over a course of their lifetime, the get fatter as they diet more. So that set point changes. So if you notice that the people who tend to kind of remain at a normal body weight that may be thin or slightly overweight but just so does don't seem to fluctuate a whole lot. If you kind of observe their ways of eating what you'll probably find is they eat according to their hunger cues, they stop when their full, they don't diet and they tend to remain pretty stable in terms of the amount of exercise that they may do in their life.
