[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the thin people I know who "eat whatever they want" in actuality don't eat a whole lot (they feel full/done after grazing for a while).   So, they are lucky in that they are sated with less than I would be. [/quote]

I think this is just as big a part of it as genetics. I am very small (5'1, 93 pounds) and I pretty consistently stay at that weight. Part of this is due to genetics- the women in my family are just not big. Some days I eat more than others, but I can't imagine eating as much food as the woman profiled in the article reads. That was a LOT of food in one day! I don't starve myself either, but I just would not need as much food as she does to feel sated. I have an acquaintance who struggles mightily with her weight. I imagine part of it is genetics, but I do know she cannot get "a bagel." If she goes to a bagel shop for a treat, she gets three bagels and will eat them all by lunch. That is what makes her feel satisfied. I can't even imagine eating three bagels back to back, especially huge bakery bagels. So maybe there really is something to "thin people can eat whatever they want'- maybe some thin people DO eat whatever they want, it just so happens they want a lot less than others? [/quote]
