The genetic advantage is just that intuitive eating works for some and not for others. If you want to achieve a goal that's different from the general public, most of us need a plan, whether it's a body transformation, financial goal, sport goal, whatever. Even people who are trying to gain weight will tell you that it's difficult to meet a calorie goal unless you actively track it and override your feelings of hunger. I personally don't really get people who struggle with making conscious food choices. For me, so many other things in life are harder. Getting up in the morning, sleeping (actually falling asleep) at the right time, staying focused at work, making sensible choices with women... all of those seem far harder than "do I put this thing in my mouth right now". That's genetics for you, I guess.
