[QUOTE="nlj, post: 648459, member: 17650"] Yes, my mother is Spanish, 83, and still as slim as she was when she was 19. Maybe it's the mediterranean constitution rather than the diet, as she's lived in the UK since she was a teenager. We always ate what was seen as 'continental' food when I was growing up though, even though that was a bit outlandish in the 60s and 70s. Paella, rice, pasta, seafood, these things weren't common then as they are now. UK food consisted of meat and 2 veg or chips mainly then. I was 100lb before my first child was born and I remember being horrified that I'd gone up to 102lb at my post-natal checkup. Haha. I don't think I've inherited many of my mother's genes unfortunately :( as I'm not 102lb any more! [/QUOTE]
