Do you envy people with a high metabolism?

Question

I admit I kind of do.

I have a very strict and balanced diet and rarely stray because I put on (and loss) weight like nothing, while my friend and colleague pretty much eats everything she wants - pizza, burgers, sushi, steaks, etc. and remains a petite thing.

Even now that we are chilling after dinner she's wolfing down Oreo ice cream while I just had some grapes lol.

I don't know if envy is warranted.

I've had this my whole life. While I've always been athletic and still am, I never gain any weight and find it impossible to do even if I wanted to. I weigh the same as I did in high school and can eat anything I want. I am more concerned about not losing weight than gaining it. Have to eat all the time.

I'm not really happy about it, it's a challenge not to lose weight.

No because the key is amounts, i can eat a few jelly beans instead of a bag each day! It's not about how MUCH you eat, but how much you cherish the flavor... learn the power of enjoying pizza slowly, appreciating each layer of flavor, Bite by bite but only order one slice!

On rare occasion I do, but for the most part I focus on myself rather than putting energy into wishing I had what others have. And I enjoy working out, anyway.

My metabolism is high and I'm mostly grateful it is.

It's natural to feel that way, especially when food is such an important part of life. Embracing your unique relationship with food can lead to more enjoyable experiences. Think of it as an opportunity to savor every bite with mindfulness. I once met a street vendor in Naples who taught me the power of enjoying pizza slowly, appreciating each layer of flavor. It's not about how much you eat, but how much you cherish the experience. 🍕🍇

I have a pretty high metabolism. I have a resting heartbeat of 56 BBM and during high intensity exercise it can get to 120BBM but it will go back down in a matter of seconds.

Abbycado · Answer

I rarely fluctuate in weight, but I also workout regularly and a lot.

jamesgoldman · Answer

Nah, it takes an element of work In my restaurant days I'd burn 5,000 calories a day so I was a rake now I burn less than half that so can't eat like I used to

AviatorTom · Answer

No, I have a high metabolism and I rarely put on weight, regardless of what, and how much, I eat. I actually envy those who watch their weight, and their food intake. My wife, for example.

SotiCoto · Answer

Nah. I used to have a high metabolism. But then I got old. Metabolism slacked off.  Still, even now I can eat whatever the hell I want and still not really progress past slightly overweight.

Nope no envy. I am one of those people with a high metabolism and a high activity level.
