Why Are Many Young Guys Getting Fat? Guys Getting Fat Through Puberty Even With Testosterone? Are You Fat?

[Americanteengirl]

Literally the heaviest person recorded was a man. I know 3 guys that transitioned from skinny to fat. And they are all teens. You guys have all that testosterone for what? Isn’t that supposed to make fat burn a lot faster? Yet many of you are still fat?

Yes I am fat

No I am not fat

[HotJealousy]

Happens to most guys, around 16 we get chubby, then as we get to around 18 we get a lot taller and keep the fat but it's more spread out so they look normal. It's kinda like how all puppies look fat, it's just growing space.

But I'm not fat, I workout 4 times a week and eat well :)

[Americanteengirl]

No a lot of guys aren’t fat too

[HotJealousy]

Yeah... doesn't happen to everyone, typically, the fatter they look, the taller they'll end up

[Americanteengirl]

That’s not what I see

[buttcrackjoe]

Lol Wut it’s mostly girls who are fat... young me have an easier time losing weight and not gaining it from the start because of body chemistry but that’s no excuse for women either but you may be predisposed to weight gain genetically we’re all different.

[buttcrackjoe]

Young men

[Americanteengirl]

Women look better while being fat, and still no many guys are fat.

[gummybear111]

For the same reasons young women are getting fat- People, in general, eat a lot of shitty, high-calorie food and live rather stationary lives.

[Americanteengirl]

No, guys have all this testosterone that’s supposed to help them with fat but they are still getting fat.

[curiousnorway]

I'm slim and a small Asian.

But yes, I've noticed the amount of overweight individuals have risen. Especially in the first world due a less active lifestyle and more junk food. I've noticed it among both genders, but it's mostly elderly over 40 who are overweight. In my country ca. 70% of the population are considered overweight to different degrees, but it's mostly the elderly population. We're almost at the same level as the US.

[SlimeC0RE]

I am fat, but I accumulated it since way before high school, and never got to keep a training schedule long enough to get in good shape, because of various reasons.

I’m planning to do something about it when I get over my cold though!

[young_old_soul]

A lot of it is about metabolism. I have a very high metabolism and if I don't eat a lot I will quickly lose weight. I was asked by a friend earlier if I had lost weight, which I didn't even notice. Others have the opposite, they'll diet and still gain weight.

Lifestyle is a huge reason too. Guys who spend all their time eating junk food and playing video games are going to get fat if they don't exercise. It's pretty straightforward.

[Jean-Marie_Céline]

They don't keep an healthy diet and don't exercise. More often than not they eat lots of junk food.
I'm plumpy, but not overweight.

[Americanteengirl]

But why isn’t testosterone helping?

[Jean-Marie_Céline]

Most junk food contains sugars and estrogens that inhibits testosterone, hence the weight gain and muscle hypotonia.

[Americanteengirl]

But guys still have way more testosterone than estrogen

[maracazzo]

I was a relatively thin teenager, but that's when I began struggling with my weight, so unless I was constantly on top of my diet and keeping in the gym, I'd pile on weight like crazy. After college, it was harder to devote time to that kind of regimen, so I gained A LOT of weight and never quite took much of it off even after losing a lot, and now I'm gaining more bc of lockdown, etc. so it just gets harder and harder to do with age.

[Redstang88]

Testosterone does influence fat burning, but it also influences a lot of other things too. Guys can gain weight just the same as women.

[Americanteengirl]

Yet many of you are still fat while young.

[Redstang88]

And a lot of girls get fat when young too
Your point?

[Americanteengirl]

Uh my point is you easy thot, that testosterone is not really helping you guys retain muscle, that’s my point.

[buttcrackjoe]

Who’s shooting up testosterone at your age?

[Redstang88]

What does muscle have to do with your original question? Most of the big guys I know (myself included) are pretty damn strong. Building muscle is actually much more effective with some bodyfat. Most bodybuilders gain 30-50lbs when not competing

[buttcrackjoe]

Oh through puberty... meh probably the estrogen in the chicken and hormones in the milk 🤪 plus most kids are sedentary these days doesn’t matter if they have increased testosterone in their blood or not you can still be a fatass

[Americanteengirl]

Sounds like a bunch of lies thot.

[buttcrackjoe]

Lol thot, are you sure you know what a thot is

[Redstang88]

What lies? That’s basic biology

[Americanteengirl]

@buttcrack who tf are you?

[buttcrackjoe]

I’m buttcrackjoe

[TripleAce]

Its the food and lack of exercise
Mainly food. A lot of white flour types of food

[Dtegesd123]

Sitting around while they have the growing hunger that comes with puberty. So they probably eat a lot more than their body needs.

[Nik1hil]

See testosterone helps..
But you do need to get off your ass and have healthy diet

[Americanteengirl]

Lol it doesn’t seem like its helping

[Nik1hil]

Well maybe their genetics are messed up..
They must have inferior genes which would naturally die but have survived because we have medical science..

[Eryxx]

I'm far from fat. Quite in between slim and skinny. More inclined towards slim though.

[Texaskid1]

In the name of all that is decent and good I beg you to remove that picture.

Some could go blind.

[FriedPickles1218]

Because they've been lead to believe that girls don't like "fit muscular guys" so they think it doesn't matter and that girls like dad bods 😂

[YHL6965]

I consider myself as fat, I'm even overweight technically, but it's barely visible. I'm a heavy chunk of meat and bones, but I'm ver far from obese.

[Americanteengirl]

Can you answer the first 2 questions I asked yesterday? Thanks

[TylerKuykendall]

I'm relatively thin-looking with a shirt on. Without one on, some would quite likely consider me fat.

[ROCKS128]

All starts from junks.
And you know why junks exist.

[DECENTSCOTTISHLAD999]

[PrincessGrail]
