[quote=Anonymous]I say this every time this comes up, I have found that the people who can "eat whatever they want and not gain weight" are also the people who naturally have good internal regulators in terms of appetite and their taste for high calorie foods. I have a thin friend who loves ice cream and eats it every night. The thing is, she is capable of taking a regular portion in her bowl, eating just that and being satisfied. She doesn't pile it in there or go back for seconds. Whenever i have eaten a meal with her there is always food left on her plate, even when it was an incredible meal. She never eats past the point of feeling full.

I also listened to a podcast once with a guy who was body builder. He talked about how when he use to be very thin. He is naturally an ectomorph (thin, lanky, low muscle) in order for him to gain weight he had to consume a lot of calories and eat past the point of feeling full. But doing so he was able to put on something like 30 or 40 lbs of muscle.

With enough calories and eating past the point of feeling full anyone can put on weight. Some people just naturally stop when they are full. My kids are like that. If I give them ice cream they will leave a few bites if they hit the point where they feel full. They never feel the need to keep eating for pleasure.
