[QUOTE="Sue192, post: 1627055, member: 439516"] Absolutely agree with the 'genetics, NOT your lifestyle'. It's certainly that in my case, although sitting for hours typing to earn a crust was a lifestyle problem. I think the 'low fat is good' message is one of the hardest to counteract. Small example: recently I was tucking into a full English (good sausage, mushrooms, toms, eggs and bacon) while at a residential conference, and the woman next to me said "gosh, what a lot of fat you're having!" Quite apart from the rudeness, she had had fruit juice, cornflakes, a low-fat yoghurt, toast and marmalade. I think it is going to take a long time for the penny to drop, but it is on its way. I also think that the Powers That Be have an awful lot to answer for, with conflicting (and damaging) advice, and also the incredible power and influence of big business. What chance 'the man on the Clapham omnibus' to make sense of it all? [/QUOTE]
