A member asked:
Why can some people eat as much as they want and not gain weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Metabolism: Determines how much we burn. Some people have very high metabolism and burn calories fast and others have slow metabolism. What people eat can make a difference. There are ways to improve metabolism. Starvation diets cause the body to go into starvation mode including conserving/increasing fat stores. A well balanced nutrition/exercise/sleep plan improves metabolism and overall health.
