The g.i. factor: why do people become overweight?

        THE G.I. FACTOR: WHY DO PEOPLE BECOME OVERWEIGHT?
Is it genetic? Is it hormonal? Is it our environment? Is it a psychological problem? Or is it due to an abnormal metabolism?
Consider the energy balance paradox that exists in our bodies. For most of us, even without much conscious effort, our bodies maintain a constant weight. This is despite huge variations in how much we eat. For a proportion of people who are overweight this apparent bal despite every fad diet, every exercise program, even operations and medications, body weight can steadily increase over the years, regardless of all apparent efforts to control it.
It has always been said that our weight is a result of how much we take in and how much we burn up. So, if we take in too much (overeat) and don't burn up enough (don't exercise) we are likely to put on weight.
The question is: how much, of what, is too much? The answer is not a simple one: not all foods that we eat are equal and no two bodies are the same.
People are overweight for many different reasons. Some people believe they only 'have to look at food', others put on weight from 'just walking past the patisserie', others blame themselves because they eat too much. It is clear that a combination of social, genetic, dietary, metabolic, psychological (and emotional) factors combine to influence our weight.
