Can someone explain to me how genetics relates to weight gain?

I've been having this argument with my girlfriend, that her genetics don't make her more predisposed to weight gain. She then brought up an argument that hormonal levels is a huge part of how much weight a person gains. I didn't know if that was right or wrong.

Do hormones really effect weight gain? Steroids are just testosterone, right? So maybe they do have a big affect?

Hormones, especially in women, can play a factor in weight gain. Mostly it's for pregnancy, so hormonal birth control that simulates a pregnancy in a way can make her gain weight.

Thyroid hormones can also play a role. Too much or too little can cause a person's body to need a higher or lower caloric intake to maintain weight.

Depression and anxiety can cause either weight gain or loss. People perpetually in a state of anxiety either have decreased appetite because they're on edge (this is why stimulants suppress appetite) or they have increased appetite because they eat compulsively as a way to ease their anxieties.

Also, hormones like testosterone can and do influence weight gain, mostly through their modulatory effect on human growth hormone.

Ghrelin is a hormone that affects appetite directly btw. It's one of the major controlling factors in hunger.

Ditch her and look for one of the ones that is willing to stop shoveling garbage into her mouth once in a while.

genetics play a very minor part, eating plays the most part

digest more of it.

Could be fast vagus nerve rhythm. peppermint oil may help. Also could be a lack of digestive enzymes or stomach acid. betaine HCl and digestive enzyme supplements should help.

When most people say they have a fast metabolism, what they really mean is they have a shitty and inefficient metabolism and it's not digesting all your food efficiently or fully.

Also, high amounts of fats and oils can act as a laxative to the gi tract. Insufficient dietary and soluable fiber can affect the amount of moisture in the gi tract and impede proper digestion.

The intestinal microbiome is also important. Try to eat cultured foods like kefir and take a probiotic supplement.

This may very well be true, might also explain intolerences and allergies to certain food.

i dont know how its related exactly but it is.
there are twin studies which show that BMI is strongly correlated to your biological parents BMI, even if you never met them and was raised in another family. But i guess its not only genetics, there is correlation between obesity and apartam intake, hormones, certian medical agents etc.

Although i got from fat to fit even though my parent are obese as fuck. I think its possible for everybody to achieve a good looking body but its much harder for certain people.
