I’ve lost over 50 lbs since Feb.
Eat les, cut out snacks and carbs. All it takes is some self-discipline. Surprise.

“I’ve lost over 50 lbs since Feb.”
I congratulate you! Great job!
You must feel the difference going up stairs, without that extra 50 pounds, and your whole system should be feeling easier with less inflammation and better circulation, breathing, etc..
Good on you! I’m doing keto for the last month. Lost 3-5 pounds in tue first 2 weeks. Nothing since, but my body is changing shape, I can pull my belt 1 notch tighter!
Education. Before you can exert self discipline you need to be trained in what to eat and what not to eat.
Genes. Some people have slim genes, others not. You can exercise self control but for some they are fighting with genes they recieved from their parent that tell their bodies to store fat.
Snip..."Can Obesity Be Passed Down?
When we think about inherited traits, we usually picture genes passed from parent to child through DNA.
Through a process called transgenerational epigenetic inheritance, a parent’s environment – even before conception – can influence how genes are expressed in their children. Factors like nutrition, stress, or exposure to toxins can leave chemical marks on sperm or egg cells – which may then affect how the next generation’s body regulates things like metabolism, appetite, and fat storage.
It’s not just about maternal health during pregnancy, either. Studies have shown that a father’s diet and overall metabolic health can also impact the developing fetus through changes in sperm. In short, both parents play a role.
So while genetics do contribute to a person’s risk of developing obesity, it’s not just about the DNA you inherit – it’s also about how your parents’ environment and lifestyle may shape the way your genes function. The Dutch famine study
One of the most well-known examples of transgenerational epigenetic effects comes from people born during the Dutch Hunger Winter of 1944-1945. Children conceived during this famine had higher rates of obesity, diabetes, and other metabolic issues later in life – despite returning to normal diets after birth. This study suggests that early nutritional stress can shape long-term health outcomes through epigenetic mechanisms."....snip
Note that this "suggests" these effects.
“eat less...move more...tried and true”
Yep, I’ve never seen any fat, let alone obese, people coming out concentration camps.
