'It's the Bruce Jenner genes!' Daughter Kylie says she has dad to thank for keeping her slim despite 'bad' diet and no exercise
Her father Bruce Jenner took home the gold medal in the decathlon at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Canada.
Kylie Jenner admitted she has the former athlete's good genes to thank for keeping her slim in spite of a junk food diet and no exercise plan to speak of.
The 17-year-old tends to cram herself full of candy, but fortunately she has the fast metabolism to burn it off naturally - for now.

Kylie revealed this interesting tidbit at the same time she was promoting her new lollipops for the candy store chain.
The youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan pointed part of the blame at her mother Kris Jenner, who keeps sugary treats at home that are just too good to resist.
'My mom always has so many sweets and so much candy around the house,' Kylie said.

Kylie, meanwhile, recalled the time when she joined big sister Kim in Las Vegas at HER lollipop launch for the Sugar Factory.

'My sisters... we kind of have this relationsihp between Sugar Factory and my family. I remember years ago, my first time in Vegas ever, Kim was launching her lollipop.
'So we were there, so I was there and it's just crazy now I'm in her position a few years later. It's really cool. I love the Sugar Factory.'
Of course her other sister Kendall, 19, is making a name for herself in the fashion modeling world.
Kylie continued: 'I think I'm much edgier and darker than Kendall. We have completely different styles. I just like to try new things and be kind of tomboyish in darker colours.'
