A man at our church was hugely obese, probably 400 lb at about 6', for years until he told himself, "eat less and be more active." I think he just took daily walks on a strict high veg diet. He dropped an amazing amount of weight, in under 2 years, to about 200.
OTOH, there is the rather well known instance of women in traditional, well to do Somali circles being sent at marriageable age to special spas where they are fed large amounts of fattening porridge to make them fat and more beautiful. My point in saying this is to say that I expect that Taube is right at least as far as that some people, and peoples, are genetically more inclined to be heavy; but on the other hand, that overeating and under eating do cause weight gain and weight loss for some. (I am 1/3 of the way through Taube's book.) I wish I could do 1:18 23 mile urban commute on a 30 lb bike! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
