I was having a debate with a friend of mine who claims he has this
new "fat gene". He's quite a big boy, @ about 5'9", 350 lbs+++...
I'm roughly 5'9" @170 (6-7% body fat).
I carry a healthy lifestyle: excercise vigorously (20 hours per week),
I eat fast food (McDonald's) only about once per month or less; while
my buddy rarely exercises, and eats @ Licks every work day.
Now some researchers, claim that there is a gene that makes ppl
absorb more fat than others: story here. I think these guys are
just creating propaganda for newly released diet pills.
Even if the "fat gene" existed, ppl could not absorb more fat if they
consumed less fat... true? If ppl stayed away from Micky Dees, and
exercised atleast 5-10 hours per week, they'd be fit.
