Did you go on yours? If not, come with me tomorrow. A lot of well-meaning (skinny) people are posting here telling you that you MUST do this or that - run don't walk, count your steps, count your calories, run don't walk, running is better, "I run 10 miles a day!", you must go on a diet, Coke is bad for you, ice cream is bad for you, everything is bad for you, why can't you be skinny like me?! Please don't listen to any of this. The only reason most people are skinny is cause they got dealt the lucky metabolism heredity card. They did nothing to earn this, this just had parents and grandparents who had that card that someone gave them. I don't disparage them, I just wish some of them would get off their high horse and have a little understanding. Yes, there are those who have the discipline of a Marine drill sgt and have lost a hundred pounds and kept it off. God bless them! For the majority, it's only gonna happen when you just give up and quit trying. Enjoy your life, enjoy your walk, be kind to yourself and things will get better on their own.

So while I was out on my ski trip you got religion re going for health/
Exercise is the first step. Fact is if one travels the world one discovers that people everywhere walk and eat a lean VERY lean diet of Meat if they can afford a few ounces and lots of veggies.
Asian diets generally are based on Meat Fish as a condiment with lots of grains and veggies. Odd that in France the cities like Paris have lots of people overweight yet in country not so.
In huge cities of Russia the poor who cannot drive a car and walk everywhere are NEVER over weight. Rich Mafia in Russia are always over weight.
NO ONE is a poor country unless a member of the elite, is overweight no matter what gene mix they were born with.
Yes that Marine Drill sure works. I never a Marine yet went through full Basic and Survival n Survival twice re first tyme fail - Had to force food down down down including adding oil out of bottle directly in2 gullet to keep weight at normal.
Ever notice that long term street people are thin?

@previous (Syntax)
I think long term street people aren't thin because of their healthy regimine of diet and excercise.
