[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Point three is probably the most critical: people and bodies and metabolisms are all different. The same diet is metabolized differently by different people, and thus has different effects on weight. Which is why some people can drink alcohol and not gain weight, whereas others do gain from alcohol. Or why, while breastfeeding, some women eat enormous amounts of food and are rail thin, while others can't lose weight to save their lives, even when not eating a ton, until they wean. Bodies are different. [/quote] People metabolize calories differently, but not by so much that it is the difference between slim and obese. It's estimated that the vast majority of people are within 200 calories of one another (a.k.a. 3 Oreo cookies or 2 tablespoons of peanut butter). https://examine.com/nutrition/does-metabolism-vary-between-two-people/ "Metabolic rate does vary, and technically there could be large variance. However, statistically speaking it is unlikely the variance would apply to you. The majority of the population exists in a range of 200-300kcal from each other and do not possess hugely different metabolic rates."[/quote]
