Can DNA ACTUALLY influence how much you weigh? – blogilates

by YouTube Team

Find out what your genes have to say about your weight! New Year’s Promotion! Go to to save $30 on a Health + Ancestry kit, now through January 31st.

I did the 23andme genetic testing service and OMG guys, it explains so much about my weight. Growing up I ALWAYS had trouble losing weight. I was the chubby kid. I was the fat one. When it came to working out and dieting, I had to train so hard and eat so clean to only see results that don’t even compare the girls who can eat junk food all day and still have flat abs. So it always made me wonder, am I just supposed to be “fat”? Am I predestined to have a soft body with no ab definition? Is it in my genes – my DNA – to weigh more?

Watch this video to find out what my DNA says about my weight. You’ll find the information shocking. It pretty much explains why there is no such thing as a diet or a workout that works for everyone. We are all so different.

Here is where I get all of my music! Epidemic Sound:

Are you kidding me??? You look a m a z i n g! I love how you look strong and have very similar body type to mine so it inspires me cause I know your body is attainable unlike those lean skinny bodies I see mostly in fitness community. Those bodies are obviously gorgeous but I know I'll never look like that so why even try when I can be amazing in my own unique way

The reason I started and stayed for so many years is because of who you are and actually because of how you look. You're not the crazy diet people who put others down when they don't have that "look" that they do. You encourage all of us to love ourselves, stay healthy, and feed our bodies properly to be the healthiest and strongest we can be in our individual body types. We are all different and because you know and understand that, we feel good about ourselves. We love and believe in you because you believe in us. We thank you so much for all you do! You are beautiful inside and out and I aspire to be as strong as you and I believe you look absolutely beautiful and perfect just the way you are! 💝 Love you!

You do not have those insane workout fitness instructor aaaabs but you are one the few that keeps it real, and understand the struggle of the exercise so we can be motivated by a real person sharing the "pain" with us. You look like a healthy normal woman and that's all it matters.

I cant thank you enough for sharing these thoughts and feelings and experiences with us. You have no idea how much it helps me. I've been struggling with ALL THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS my entire life. Even my doctor just throwing up his hands in bewilderment. This makes me feel like I'm not such a freak of nature 💚

I grew up chubby too and I got even chubbier when I hit puberty and it wasn’t until 2 years ago ( 9 and 10th grade ) that I started to naturally thin out and working out didn’t really help until my body got used to puberty and naturally lose weight . I’m still a bit chubbier and have to eat healthy all the time but I think that it is just the way my body is 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ I’m learning how to accept it I guess

Oh god, I feel you sister. I was the fat kid at school too and somebody asked me a very similar question: 'why don't you lose weight?' after that, thanks to taking care of my body, spirit and mind, I built a strong self-confidence which lets me live happy whether my weight is 55kg or 65kg, as long as I know I'm taking care of my health. Even though I have this confidence, there is only one thing that affects me and it's when my own mother or father shame me for having gained weight in my Erasmus year. They go: 'don't eat this, don't eat that, it will make you fat' (even though sport is a huge part of my life and I'm always doing it) last night I had a nightmare whet I just exploded and yelled at them 'I know you say this because you love me but you don't know how much it hurts'. I love you Cassey, you are such a beautiful person for making us all know we are not alone, helping us be our greatest version ❤️❤️

I’ve been feeling really down lately because I’m the same way, I have to work out so much constantly and cut out most foods and even then I’m still overweight. I’ve been told I’m fat and that I need to work harder to get better curves by family and random strangers and so on and so forth… I’m gonna try to do this and see what it says. Maybe it’ll help me mentally 🙂

Casey, idk if you check the comments from vids so far back but I wanted to tell you that your videos help me exercise and try harder without feeling run down and stressed about results and anytime I’m feeling down about not seeing results right away, I watch your vlogs and it really helps me. I appreciate you so much ❤️❤️❤️😊
