Who has the best genetics for NOT absorbing calories/junk?

[Never1AShow]

I've heard it speculated that native Americans have genetics that are too good for processing calories having had to exist on minimal subsistence calories for so long and thus, with the modern American diet of excess calories, they become obese much quicker.

This made me wonder if there is some group of people whose genetic makeup is much more ill suited for processing food/absorbing calories?  It would have been a genetic disadvantage long ago in the world of barely eking out a subsistence existence, but now it would be a tremendous genetic advantage.  Which people are genetically least good at processing calories?

Is nature now selecting for those who can eat slop and stay slim?

African dudes often seem to be single digit bodyfat with no attention to diet at all. Or maybe they just have nothing to eat?

This kind of stumps me because I would think that they would be the same as Native Americans, traditionally having been able to survive in a low calorie environment, wouldn't they be much fatter now that there is an abundance of calories practically everywhere.  Shouldn't Africa be one of the fattest continents?

(On some level though I think there isn't much variation and the claim about Native Americans is bullshit excusism because ALL people pretty much existed on lower calories over the time period which evolution requires, i.e. many tens of thousands of years or more.)

All a myth, any group of people can be in single digit if there's nothing to eat or if they are young

If I had to pick one I say Asians, many are just skinny, lean, not many fat people in that race unless again, western diet and culture

Idk about ethinicity, but I have that kind of genetic makeup (and my whole family does). No matter how much and for how long would I overeat - it's possible to put on just a very small amount of "flab" on a lower stomach, but if I try to restrict cals for like a weak, I'm pretty surprised myself at how fast that mini fat is being lost. One thing I've noticed is that when I overeat - I start to feel hot, every time, it pretty much means that my body burns the excess calories through raising body temperature.

Is this even a real question? Hebrews!

Which ethnicity has the worst BB genes? I say Indians. I've yet to see a ripped Indian male in public. I know they exist, but all the ones that see look like claymation characters.

It means that you are a prime candidate for spontaneous combustion.

Never see them in the gym either.  They're probably devoting all their time/effort to higher education.

Lol. I have to start carrying fire extinguisher with me.

east asians generally quite lean although not much mass.

East of what? 

[falco]

Michael Lockett. Naturally lean without diet.

I live in the south i have a hard time believing Africans have these great genetics anymore. Every black woman I see looks at least 50 pounds overweight the men all look fat and weak riddled with diabetes heart problems sickle cell high blood pressure. Maybe a small percent who are in athletics actually have good genes. They kill themselves off with violence food drugs and stupidity.

[Donny]

I remember a guy from Fiji who drunk Bacardi coke and ate pizza non stop but was fit running wise and was muscular.. great guy. Went to 5  airborne Para R Signals. was a hard guy too(fighting wise not his cock ) Crazy Genetics... used to go on the piss together and i remember we went on OC´s Orders for being bad boys after a night out...

africans genetically have higher testosterone than europeans and other groups, which makes them naturally hold more muscle mass with less fat.

why is this?

[Donny]

not trying to be funny but i have never heard of this. Where is the proof of this?

[Conker]

why is this?

i don't why. just what i have read.

here's one study that supports this done in usa

"This report gives the results of assays of circulating steroid hormone levels in white and black college students in Los Angeles, CA. Mean testosterone levels in blacks were 19% higher than in whites, and free testosterone levels were 21% higher."

intresting about cancer..

[Conker]

yeh. there's quite a number of illnesses that different groups are at higher risk of.

good information.. got your finger on the pulse

yeh thanks 'donny'.  glad you're impressed

So if this is true than whites have higher IQ than Hebrews, see what I did there
