The she eat's nothing but junk and doesn't gain weight - Yes, but did you know that she doesn't eat breakfast and only eats 1-2 meals a day that only add up to 1800-2000 cals, which for the average never been obese person is maintenance cals.
The she eat's all.the.time but doesn't gain weight - Sure, but she's eating small healthy meals all day, oh yeah and she exercises regularly.
My point is, that with the exception of a very small number there is no such thing as "naturally thin", everyone has to work at, just some people don't know they're doing work Us formally obese people, well I think we all know it's work and that's what makes it hard.
Agree with every word. There was a similar thread in the Weight Loss Support forum. I don't know a single adult woman who can eat what she wants without gaining -- unless she has a very small appetite, which most of us don't.Originally Posted by ncuneo
So I know there is this term "naturally thin" but really, I don't think those people exist.... but if you really think about the women you know that are "naturally thin" why are they thin? I'll bet you that 99% of them do things that somehow create a deficit.

For the most part, I don't believe that variations in metabolic rate explain variations in weight. I believe humans vary much more in their psychology than their physiology, and that these psychological variations (perceived hunger, enjoyment of food, perceived fullness, compulsive tendencies, etc.) account for the lion's share of weight differences.
