Genetics Don't Dictate Your Metabolism: You're in Control
Many people believe that if their family, by which we mean mom, dad, grandparents or siblings, has been overweight, they are destined to live with a slow metabolism. But that idea is a myth. While there may be some genetic inclination, your lifestyle has a much more powerful impact than your genes.
Specialist Frank Suarez explains in his book The Power of Metabolism that excess body fat, protruding bellies or problems like heartburn may have a small hereditary factor, but what's really inherited are habits*.
In other words, what many families pass on are not defective genes, but poor eating habits and sedentary lifestyles. If type E foods (sugars, flours, processed cereals) are abundant in the home, it is likely that children will grow up repeating these same patterns.
📋 Shifting your focus: the key to transforming your metabolism
Restoring your metabolism starts with a change in your mindset:
-
Stop thinking "I've always been this way."
-
Don't use genetics as an excuse
-
Focus on what you can control.
Having a clear goal is critical. Whether you want to lose weight, have more energy, sleep better or improve your figure, define your goal precisely*.
Your history is not written in stone, you can't change your past, but you can build a different future. Changing your metabolism does not require perfection, but intention and daily action. It doesn't matter if you ever strayed from your goal: you can always get back to it.
Your body can change if you change your choices. And you can choose every day to take a step towards your wellness.
