From the Department Of Obesity Genetics
For What It's Worth, I recently read an article that mentioned FTO, the 'Fat Gene', which influences a person's tendency to become overweight or obese. Because my wife and I did a 23andme genetics analysis about a decade ago, I looked up this gene evaluation on my account. My gene pool puts me at an average likelihood to…

Guys on a Diet Membership
I just noticed that GOAD has 263 members. Wow! Where did they all disappear to? I took a sabbatical for a number of months, but announced that I was doing so. When I first came over from WW this forum was crowded. Maybe it's like what Yogi Berra said about a restaurant, " It's so crowded nobody goes there anymore ."

Not About Diet
I've participated in volunteer medical research studies over the years. I recently signed up to participate in a drug company's (GSK) clinical trials of an mRNA vaccine in development against bird flu, which could emerge as a new viral threat (just when you thought it was safe to permanently take your mask off). The study…

Question About WW Points
I did a high intensity bike ride this afternoon that took 45 minutes. WW credited me with 6 points. My Polar Fitness app said I used 450 calories. I ate a Kind bar after the ride, which is 200 calories and used 6 points. What gives? In balance, shouldn't I be getting 12 points for activity or 3 points for the Kind bar? WW…

Question About Fitness Tracker Accuracy
I've read that Fitness Trackers often overestimate the number of calories burned when exercising. My Tunturi stationary bike registers 55 calories per mile, which seems a gross overestimate of calories consumed. I bought a Polar FT 80 heart monitor, which allows you to transfer exercise data to their Polar Personal Trainer…
