Your biology determines to a great extent

你的生物基因在很大程度上决定了
how your body handles calories,

机体处理卡路里的能力
how efficiently it stores them,

储存热量的效率
how it burns them off,

燃烧脂肪的水平
how it wastes them through body heat,

以及通过体温形式消耗热量的能力
what it does with your basal metabolic rate

生物遗传是如何影响基础代谢率的
that I'll describe in a moment and the like.

这个我马上就会讲到
This has been shown a number of ways.

基础代谢率通过多种方式表现
Weight is driven,

众所周知
as you know, by energy balance.

体重是通过能量平衡进行调节的
It's calories in and calories out.

就是卡路里的摄入和消耗
Calories as we mentioned before

像之前所提到的一样
