Genetics does play a role in obesity, obviously, but not as huge a role as you do. Most health experts say that the concept of genes compelling you to be heavy is often a myth.

For the vast majority of us, genes may possibly set the lower limits of our pounds, but we set the upper limits by our food choices.

A common complaint I hear all too often:

Rather than concentrating on what you eat, shouldn't you also consider what you drink?
