Sorry, that's simply not true. I'm "thin" because I eat healthy food and because I go to Gold's Gym every single day, including holidays. I USED to be overweight, so I feel I can talk about this freely. I lost the weight and I kept it off by maintaining the healthy lifestyle AFTER I lost the weight. That is the key.
The problem with most people is that they get on a strict diet, starve themselves, lose the weight and then quit everything. Surprise, suprise, they always gain the weight back. The trick is making a LIFESTYLE change! Not just going on some diet for a few months. You have to WANT to eat healthy, you HAVE to work out, and you have to commit to doing it for the rest of your life. Yes, of course I'd love to eat a Big Mac and super-size fries once in a while, but I'd prefer to keep my heart healthy so I refrain from eating like a pig.
Of course losing weight is hard, no one ever said it was easy. It was the hardest thing I've ever done. It's a choice. You either choose to eat a lot and not work out, or you choose to eat healthy food and work out. VERY few overweight people are overweight because of genetics. Like I said, I used to work at a weight loss center and I know this from first-hand experience.
