Fat Loss Misconceptions: #2

I Inherited a Fat Body and Am Therefore a Permanent Victim.

Sadly, we live in a society where it is easier to blame someone else than take responsibility for our lives. One of the easiest places to lay the blame is at the feet of our parents.

This means that you can recondition your mind to learn new healthy habits that will help you compensate for your genes.
