Unfortunately, we all can’t be descendants of Bob Harper from the Biggest Loser, or be related to an extremely in shape athlete. Everyone has a genetic dna that helps the body go towards whatever direction is set forth in that human code, which is passed down by your parents. Fortunately there are ways to overcome and beat genetics, but nobody ever said it was going to be easy.

Personally, I was born to two parents who weren’t blessed with the super skinny genes. I was pretty much doomed from the beginning. Studies have shown that the human body builds fat cells for the rest of your life in your childhood. Meaning this is the time in a humans life that is the most important in terms of proper nutrition and healthy habits. If you are grown on fast food and frequent late night dinners, your body may adapt to that lifestyle and leave you vulnerable to it the entire rest of your life.

If you do happen to be blessed with genetically superb parents, you already have one step on the rest of us. You already have an advantage in that your bodies are programmed from birth to be able to burn more calories at rest and metabolize food at a faster rate than the rest of us. If you are one of these people enjoy it, you are truly very lucky!

In other words, those who weren’t pre-dispositioned to have super lean and cut bodies, you will just have to work at it more. These are the walls that you must break down to overcome the cards you were dealt. There really is no need to get down about it however, because each and every person has the ability to live a healthy and fulfilling life if you choose the right foods and diet plan. Try not to focus on the bad cards you’ve got and focus on the good ones you can build with good old fashioned smart dieting and exercise. I beat the house with my hand, will you?
