I’m really glad that this news wasn’t going around 6 months ago, since I would have almost certainly used it as an excuse for being overweight and stopped attempting to lose it.
It is interesting to note that they are only claiming that about 7lb of the amount someone is overweight could be attributed to this gene, and I’m sure that most obese people will be far more overweight than that.
By the BMI calculation I am still about 14lb overweight, but with a 32” waist I am not worried.
