[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The woman pictured in the article looks fine to me. Better than most women her age I see daily, at least. If the researchers consider her lean for study purposes, it doesn't really matter what DCUMers think.

I'm thin (5'7" and about 115- don't know for sure bc I don't have a scale) and it's natural. I'm about this size whether I'm eating well or whether I'm pigging out on high-calorie junk foods. I think it's genetic. [/quote]

yes but overall do you eat less that most overweight people.[/b] I have a friend who is thin. yes she works out but she also naturally eats less. She is someone who loves food and eats what she wants but unlike me rarely do I see her eating everything on her plate. She will eat a bowl of ice cream every night but unlike me she just has that one bowl where I tend to go back for seconds and thirds. So yes I do beleive people can stay thin by eating whatever they want but I also think that overall they want healthier foods and to eat less of the less health stuff.  [/quote]

I don't know. I don't really have anyone to compare my eating habits to.

Now I do eat healthier and I eat less because my eating is just guided by my appetite. I still finish off the pint of Ben and Jerry's  the same day I buy it, though. But there was a period in my life where I would eat fast food several times per day (high calorie foods) and I still never topped 125 pounds.

Ya know, I'm still sticking with my belief that those who "eat what they want" really don't eat all that much (nor do they want to).  PPs above who claim to eat what they want, in the next breath mention how they try to avoid xyz.  In my 44 years, I have NEVER met someone who eats like I like to eat (and I am an admitted glutton) who is skinny.  I am not thin.  I am "regular" size.  I'd like to lose ten pounds, and I know what needs to be done.  But, I am a glutton!  I love to eat and drink!  What can you do?  BTW, I have talked about this with my mom, a doctor.  She does know one person (in her 63 years) who truly can/MUST eat "whatever he wants."  She thinks he does have some sort of metabolic problem, e.g., at dinner, he wolfs down three baked potatoes with the 1 pound steak and creamed spinach.  He has acknowledged embarrassment, b/c he constantly needs to refuel his engine - he is constantly worried about the quantity of food he ingests.[/quote]
