Reasons some people stay lean without trying
Some people stay lean without trying because of their genes and daily habits.
Dr. Sandeep Kharb, a doctor at Asian Hospital, says that while genes set the base for body type, lifestyle is more important.
Skinny people often eat smaller meals, don't overeat, and stay active throughout the day.
These habits help them maintain their weight without strict diets or exercise routines.
So, it's not just luck; their everyday choices support their body type.
Genetics sets the foundation for body type but lifestyle plays a bigger role in maintaining leanness.
Naturally skinny individuals often eat smaller portions and avoid overeating.
They remain physically active throughout the day, often without realizing it.
Their lifestyle supports their body type, making weight maintenance feel effortless.
Strict diets or fitness routines are not necessarily followed by naturally skinny people.
