Ah, thank you for the explanations! It actually makes sense.bits wrote:No one is naturally skinny, metabolism doesn't affect weight gain as much as people think it does. A few pounds maybe, ten pounds would be about the most extreme. If you counted all the calories you ate in a week and compared it to your fat relatives (and everyone was honest and ate how they normally do) you would be eating less than them even though you think you eat like a cow. Bodies can't create free energy, all weight loss/gain is is the laws of thermodynamics.
It really isn't that difficult to understand, I don't know why people have to come up with such stupid excuses about weight

That being said, while i don't eat really healthy most of the time (lot of fat calories and sugar/processed food), one of my friend who's kinda overweight eats really healthy/organic food and she doesn't lose weight (but she doesn't want and shouldn't cause she's gorgeous ) so few things still don't get to me tbh. But yeah the answer is maybe more complex than just "having a fast metabolism"
It's not really nice to say this is "stupid excuses" though : i think the "fast metabolism" argument has more to do with ignorance than being stupid. Not everybody is a specialist about how body weight and calories inbalance works... Most ppl think that if you eat a lot->you gonna get fat & if you eat less->you gonna lose weight, as simple as that
