Let’s talk 5!

Think about your clothes’ pockets. When you put a pair of jeans, there are 4 pockets, right? But then, there are cargo pants, with pockets all over, in the leg, thigh, etc.

Fat will accumulate where your body has the most pockets (receptors) for it. It is defined by your genetics where those pockets go. Up until teen aging, you can also define how much those pockets can hold, and if you can empty them fast or slow. If you keep ’em always filled, you will have a hard time emptying them later. But if you keep ’em empty, even when filled, they will be “easy” to let go.

NotSo5: We get receptor distribution defined by genetics. If up until teens you are overweight, your body will remember that and keep it a tendency. You will be prone to gain weight and have difficulty losing it. If you are thin, even if you gain weight, it will be easier for you to lose it.
