There are many, many factors involved in people’s weight. Of course, according to statistics, the majority of people struggle with weight loss. I’ve done a review that suggests that a person’s weight isn’t exactly about “willpower” (it’s implausible to believe nearly 40% of the world population have willpower problems).
