Guys, guys, guys...I did not claim obesity is purely down to genetics or anything of that sort. Your body type IS determined to an extent genetically. Theres three theoritical types, endomorph, ectomorph and mesomorph. It definitely holds, I've lived with quite a few people in my life and got to know their diet as well as mine. There would be guys who I would out eat on a daily basis in regards to carbohydrates and proteins, and would go to gym reguarly and they would never go and they'd have naturally a bigger muscle mass and frame. Works vice versa, there's guys who have hit the gym way harder than me and take shakes and creatine and I'm naturally bigger than them still. Some guys I've lived with don't even eat alot but are generally way more chubbier than the others, also like how some guys have chubbier faces in relation to their body. These factors are predetermined, the ratio of where your body will store fat is predetermined. Like I said you can change that easily by a range of +/- X% hence why you get obese/malnutritioned people from bad diet.
I went through a period of my life where I was eating over 4000 calories a day, mostly consisting of foods ridiculously high in saturated fats and alot of chocolate/sugary items. I got abit chubbier for a while but it wasn't even noticeable on a large scale and was really just an inch round my waist, which disappeared rapidly when I started eating normal again. The only time my body really changed was when I forced it to with heavy weight training and a sh*t load of protein and carbs and even then it was slow progression compared to some of my other friends who didn't even do half the calorie consumption/work I did. My body is determined genetically to stay around this body fat/weight area and it takes really extreme measures to even change it abit. A high fat content diet hardly changed my frame at all, it's unfair to assume all overweight people have caused it upon themselves because it's just not true. If this was the case I deserve the punishment of being considered overweight and careless towards my personal health/image in societies eyes for my eating sins.
Americans and Europeans are especially bad as their bodies tend to swing towards the general male being mesomorph/endomorph anyway, especially English/Americans. Combined with their bad diet ofcourse this would swing them into the overweight criteria. People often ignore the other side though, there's people who are really underweight and will try their hardest to overeat and gain significant mass and it doesn't happen. Theres also people who could be considered larger/overweight and I know FOR A FACT their diets are not bad enough to justify their weight proportionally.
Ofcourse the proportion to hair loss isn't the same and I didn't claim so... It was a rough analogy at best and perhaps a stupid one. What I was trying to get at is that even though we are purely doomed to male pattern baldness due to genetical reasons, certain lifestyle and dietary choices could easily ACCELERATE that process and therefore from that statement I can conclude that other lifestyle choies and dietary choices can work in way that you aren't accelerating it and possible even to an extent delaying it slightly. Let's be real, alot of people will have lifestyles that are more likely not helping their hairloss, especially people in the 20s age range, therefore if we take that to be the standard for a set amount of people it is fair to conclude that if they change their lifestyle around it would have a positive effect on their hair.
Although it goes to say by having a diet catered to hair health, popping biotin pills, driking green tea, taking saw palmetto and not smoking/drinking will have nowhere near the same effect on your hair as would having a taylored diet and regime towards your general body, that I agree on. But I'm sure to an extent it would make a difference for your hair though perhaps you're right and it's almost insignificant. Nothing like Finasteride and minoxidil at the end of the day. :salut:
