[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8:51 - you can have a good metabolism and still gain weight. I have always had a good metabolism, but gained weight during the time when I was working full-time and doing a part-time grad program. There just wasn't much time for exercise or enough sleep. A lot of people might remain thin if they are always working at it. But a lot of people - even those with good metabolism - will gain weight if they are too busy (or tired or unmotivated) to work at it. Those people will probably have to eat less down the road than people who never had excess weight to begin with.[/quote] Everyone has a good metabolism. If you have a FAST metabolism and your sister has a SLOW metabolism and you both sit all day at a job and never exercise your sister will get much fatter than you will. Also, the fatter you become the more your metabolism works. The slimmer you get the slower your metabolism becomes. To keep a 300lb body maintained takes MUCH more calories than to keep at 120 body maintained. Also your metabolism slows down as you age because the body repairs itself at a much much slower rate. Ever notice how much slower you are to heal as you get older? It is all related. As a matter of fact, people with slow metabolisms are much more efficient than people with fast metabolisms. A slow metabolism is a genetic advantage, so technically speaking the slow metabolism is really the "good" metabolism.[/quote] That's true. The slow metabolism people are much more likely to survive a famine.[/quote]
