Why are some people fat?

Answer 1

Sometimes there's a genetic tendency, underlying thyroid condition, some medications make you gain weight. Also if you have a physical reason you can't do some kind of exercise, even just walking that will do it. My personal reason is lack of exercise, which I am trying to change. I do not over eat, eat beef or pork, no high fat anything goes in my mouth. My back and knees are in some bad shape and very painful 24/7, mainly because of carrying extra weight. It is a viscious circle but it can happen with a tremendous amount of work. Forget all the crazy diets, over the counter pills, etc. Just eat fresh healthy foods minus the fats and hidden fats in food. Read labels. It is not easy either looking at photos of past generations and seeing how most in my family were pretty rotund. I can't use genetics to be a reason I am overweight. I personally want to live a long time.

Answer 2

Same reason why some people are ugly....called GENETICS.......there are many medical reasons as well why a person becomes fat......slow metabolism, thyroid problems, body produces to much insulin and the body doesn't know what to do with it so everything eaten turns to fat.....People don't make a conscience choice to become fat....I hope that you will take these things in to consideration and realize that often it can not be controlled like some may think....

Answer 3

Many people now a days don't have time to cook calorie balanced meals and many people have turned to take out and dining out. Restaurants usually buy the cheapest good quality of food which contains many calories. The reason being is that low fat foods cost more to purchase than fat-food. Also, many people don't exercise as often as in the past.

Answer 4

Well contrary to popular opinion its not because some of them want to be that way. It could be because of medical problems such as thyroid disease, someone could have a physical problem that prevents them from doing physical exercise to keep the weight off. Many people do not sit at home and eat all day long and choose to be obese.

Answer 5

Genetics, improper diet, lack of movement, thyroid imbalance, hormone imbalance, and other medical ailments. It could be any of the aforementioned factors, but it's important to remember that although some get that way due to eating unhealthy foods and not exercising, for others it goes beyond this, and is a medical condition.

It can be because they eat to feel better (like an alcoholic drinks to feel better) so when something bad happens to them they eat and feel better then it becomes a cycle and they become fat.

Answer 9
