Skinny People

How do skinny people keep skinny?   Do skinny people ever experience problems with their weight?  

Overweight people, healthy-weight people and skinny people - all of us are impacted by our gene pool.   Heredity plays a big role in determining whether we will be more inclined to be thin or not-so-thin.

However, the genes are just one piece of the Weight Puzzle.

Just because our family tends to run on the plump side doesn't mean that we will.   It may take a little more effort to retain or obtain a 'thinner me' but it's achievable.

As far as health issues go, skinny people face many of the same risks that overweight people face - including diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke and heart attack.  

Although most people dream of being skinny, many skinny people strive to gain weight.   For them, it's as much as an effort to gain as it for the overweight person to lose.

As mentioned above, being skinny doesn't equate to a healthy body and may actually indicate some serious health issues such as an eating disorder which requires professional intervention.

Diet Bites also likes to emphasize that weight charts should only be used as a guide and just because a weight chart lists a particular number for your height and body frame size, it doesn't mean that the number is going to be your perfect weight. That number may actually be 'too skinny' for your body.

And above all, the dieter should always aim for attaining a healthy body.
