5 Habits to Steal From Forever Thin People!

[Halucinator]

Hello and welcome everyone! You must be thinking that I started writing takes so frequently but with time the number of takes per week dropped heavily, so I'll try writing these more often from now.

I think we all have that one friend who eats like a bull but still remains skinny and never puts on weight. So what is with them? Luck? Genes? Nope, some habits dude habits. They are unknowingly doing something right. What is it?? Let's check it out!

1) Choose Satisfaction

Sating hunger and feeling stuffed are actually two different things. They just go on and eat whatever they want without worrying for other issues(cuz maybe they probably know that they're not prone to obesity lol) but most of the skinny people stop quite far from ultimately full tummy. This is not that difficult as brain takes 20 minutes(after you start eating something) to recieve the signal that your stomach is full. Eating slowly can gelp you tackle that.(Probably the reason why slim people are generally slow eaters)

2) Learn to deal with Occasional Hunger

Slim people don't panic when there is nothing around to eat. There's no harm in skipping a meal a few times to check your self-control. But if you're skipping a meal, I'd prefer lunch, never breakfast(most important meal of the day, as it is said). It actually is the most effective way to train yourself to lessen the anxiety when you're hungry.

PS- This is for people suffering from eating disorders and health problems requiring regular food intake.

3) Focus Elsewhere

Ever noticed this habit of skinny people? They don't really pay much attention to food in the dining table. They are usually busy talking to family or wondering bout something else. This probably helps in developing their hobbies instead of considering food to be the only source of satisfaction and joy

4) Move your Ass

These people, so called skinny, use their feet quite often. They don't just use motor vehicles for small distances or end up their weekdays lying on the couch. Many of em like to walk on their feet (me too😛)

5) Spice up your Meals

A chemical compound called capsaicin(doesn't it sound like capsicum?😂😛) is an active component of chili peppers. According to web, it acts as appetite supressant. Actually, It’s also one of the features of cayenne pepper that make it so beneficial.It relieves pain and might be helpful in treating cancer too. So, why not try it?😉

That was all. Hope you like it and at the end Thanks for Reading!!

Wait Wait! One more thing,

Goodbye and Take care❤️

Very good tips! For the obese and fat folks out there, here are a few more that I follow:

1 - Stay hydrated! Drinking plenty of fluids can keep you feeling full. Sometimes when you get those hunger pangs, it really is just thirst. Typical signs of thirst, like parched lips and hot flashes are signals that you are already dehydrated. Try using MiO water enhancers or other methods to flavor your water.

2 - Avoid calories in your fluids! This includes even "healthy" drinks like juice. Most importantly, avoid alcohol or if you must drink, keep it restricted to just a couple. Most beers are 150-160 calories per serving. If you must drink, stick to neat liquor, or calorie-free mixers (like a Jameson and Diet GInger). Cocktails can be loaded with sugar and can be extremely high in calories!

3 - Eat more protein! Protein is more filling than most other foods and takes longer to digest. Try to avoid drinking too many whey protein shakes though; I have heard stories of this kind of "readily digestible" protein can wreck your liver (your liver processes proteins --> amino acids). Eat hardboiled eggs, albacore tuna, salmon, chicken breast, lean beef, greek yogurt, low-fat cheese, and other healthy protein sources.

4 - Take the stairs! This is sort of a follow up to "Move Your Ass". The simple act of taking the stairs at work can help to acclimate your body to more strenuous activities. I have to climb several flights of stairs to get to the 4th floor of my office building. At first, my legs would throb and I would be out of breath (yes I was out of shape!), but now I am only out of breath for a few seconds rather than a minute. Next week, I may not even be out of breath at all. This gradual acclimation is a mirror to anything you need to improve in life, whether it be interpersonal/social skills or learning how to dance or any other skill.

5 - Eat less sugar! Sugar boosts appetite and is highly addictive. Try to avoid candy and dessert foods. Once you get used to not eating sugar (similar to alcohol), you will notice your cravings decreasing. You are breaking your addiction. I have noticed after trying a piece of candy on Halloween, I got a huge blood sugar spike because of how I am so used to not consuming sugar. If you must have something sweet, go for dark chocolate. It has powerful antioxidants and will help with that chocolate craving.

Another bit of advice is that is closer to the idea of people who stay lean no matter how much they seem to eat, is the idea that their metabolism is naturally higher. How does a fat person or an aging person increase their metabolism?

1 - Lifting weights. Strength training (lifting heavy for less reps) can boost metabolism by up to 50%! Look up the Stronglifts 5x5 beginners routine. You can do this at the gym, or if you have the money and space, get yourself a power rack and barbell set yourself.

2 - Eat plenty of healthy fats. That is right. Omega-3s AND Omega-6s can boost metabolism and fat burn. Omega-3s are found in cold water fatty fish, avocados, chia, and flax. Omega-6s are found in eggs, nuts, and some oils (flaxseed, hempseed, etc), and acai. You can also use supplements like Fish Oil (or Salmon Oil) for Omega 3s and CLR for Omega-6s. CLR is especially good for increasing fat burn. (continued).

3 - Don't skip on the carbs! Eat healthy carbs like baked potatoes (yukon gold or sweet potatoes are good choices), black beans, and brown rice. This is because your body will adapt to the decreased amount of energy packed carbs it consumes by lowering your metabolism.

4 - If you save up a bunch of calories during the week, make sure to use them. This even more important if you work out or if you occasionally fast. Don't starve yourself or your body will decrease its metabolism in response. Occasionally fasting can actually help trick your body into breaking out of its slower metabolism even if you eat a lot normally, but you should still eat. Have that "cheat" meal or "refeed" to make up for the fast.

5 - HIIT training. Not going to go into this. Look it up!

6 - Eat multiple smaller meals, OR, break up your meals into several components. For example, your lunch could be a tuna packet, followed by a greek yogurt several minutes later, and then lean cuisine TV dinner...

[freakyzeaky]

... several minutes after that.

7 - Studies have shown that coffee and green tea can actually boost metabolism.

8 - Studies have also shown that sleep deprivation can decrease metabolism. This is a very interesting concept. It is has been shown that over 50% of all people who snore actually have sleep apnea. Sleep apnea (I have it and need to use APAP) is usually caused by having a thicker neck (tissues in the throat area) which is usually caused by being overweight or having higher muscle mass in the neck area (common in football players and wrestlers). You could be having all sorts of issues simply because you have multiple events at night that are waking you up without you realizing it. Your sleep suffers, your metabolism slows, and you may even develop mood disorders from this lack of sleep. It is quite possible that many children and young adults go into adulthood with all sorts of health issues, both physical and mental, all stemming from mild or severe sleep apnea.

I'm one of those people that eats like a Lamia, but doesn't put on weight. However, I notice that I do a lot of things differently from most people when it comes to food.
For one, breakfast is the biggest meal of my day, and dinner the smallest. Most people do the exact opposite of this--they skip breakfast altogether and then scarf down everything in sight when they come home exhausted and frustrated after a day of work/school. I see this tendency in EVERYONE that I know who is overweight.
Another thing I've noticed is that I can't stand to go to bed on a full stomach--I need at least 3-4 hours of no food intake before I go to sleep. Most people eat their biggest meal within 1-2 hours of going to bed. I don't know how they do this.
It's worth noting that your metabolism slows down as you progress through the day. Your metabolism is actually highest in the morning, lowest at night. The earlier you eat during the day, the more of those calories you burn off. The later you eat, the more you retain in your fat stores.
And lastly, I fidget--a LOT. I'm always moving some part of my body, be it thrumming my fingers or tapping my feet or flexing random muscles, even when I'm "relaxing". Other people, when they relax, they don't seem to do anything but breathe (which I guess is a good thing, lol). But, in my case, only when I'm falling asleep do I just lay there and move no part of me. This probably doesn't burn a whole lot of calories if you look at it minute by minute, but over the course of the whole day, it probably adds up. Movement costs energy--even the smallest movement still burns more energy than being still.

[Halucinator]

I can totally relate lol

[Gaspuschen]

you eat children, you sick fuck, jk, your awesome.

[Quintessence]

@Gaspuschen :O How did you guess my secret?

[Gaspuschen]

lol you're awesome

I'm underweight and skinny. Doing everything I can to gain weight but nothing is working. I look unattractive because of it. Not masculine enough. I used to suffer with stomach problems which made me very... aware or strict with what I eat, when I eat, and how much I eat. I'm not trying to limit myself, I'm just afraid of getting stomach pain. So I don't just grab whatever is on the table and eat like a horse. I stop and think "Is it okay for me to eat x right now? I ate y during my last meal so eating x could be bad. I should choose z instead".

[SammyGurl]

I alway make sure that breakfast is my largest meal then a smaller lunch and dinner. I never do fast food, on the super rare occasions that I do, I try to stay away from deep fat fried food. I'll go for a small burger or cheeseburger, either a small pop or water. Fast food doesn't really set that well with my system anyway so it's not a big loss! Normally I will pack us a lunch if we're going to be on the road at lunch.
I run 5 miles 3X, swim 2X and weight train 3X a week, so I stay thin because I exercise and watch what I eat, so for me it's more than genetics which favor a thin but not skinny me.

[azzntittiz]

You're right I am skinny and wondered how other people get fat, then I realized I have different habits, all excepting one of which you stated, which is eating spicy food.
I love food but I'm not gluttonous. I don't believe in diets and love pastry. I just think if you are active, focused on something besides eating all the time and don't eat to an overwhelmingly full stomach, I can't see how you'd have a problem keeping a healthy weight.

[Halucinator]

Finally someone who thinks that I'm right lol
thanks alott!❤️

Regarding No. 4:
Attention desk job holders. Get out of the wheel chair!
Yes, I know you are not disabled and think you are not in a wheelchair. But those office "chairs" with casters under them are wheelchairs all the same. And if you dont get out of them, pretty soon you WILL become disabled because of high blood pressure, cholestrol, and diabetes.

[Halucinator]

totally agreed!

:-) thanks

Simple. Have their genes cause there is a skinny girl I work with who does absolutely nothing and eats fast food but still is skinny. Their genetic makeup says decided they would have high metabolism and burn off calories quicker than others even if they don't exercise or eat healthy. So if you don't have the genes then you have to put in work them to stay or get their figure.

[Ceins]

Everyone is different, but people tend to think that you can apply some universal rules to whole population.

[Kuraj]

The only habit of skinny people have that makes them skinny, is that they eat less.
There is no magical science to that.

Also, don't skip lunch if you want to burn fat.
The most fat burning is achieved by skipping breakfast, as per findings of AJCN, but this effect is negligible because in the end the total calorie intake is what matters anyway.

[Anonymous]

Dude, you start the topic with "one friend who eats like a bull but still remains skinny and never puts on weight. So what is with them? Luck? Genes? Nope, some habits dude habits.", yet your tips 1-3 are about restricting food intake. Lol. So it's just 4 and 5. But probably, it's genes after all.

[Halucinator]

I'm sorry to cut you off but you're wrong this time anon cuz all of the first 3 are different and it's not genes at the end too

[CactusJuice]

@halucinator Wow! You know almost zero about nutrition, human physiology, or behavioral science. Hilarious! How about maybe completing a health related degree and getting some real-world clinical experience? For starters.

[lovelyhoneybones]

If you feel hungry, that's your body's way of telling you you need some form of nourishment. Out of all the shit GAG takes down, they leave this?

[Halucinator]

is this take worthless?

[lovelyhoneybones]

No it isn't but it's promoting false information. "Forever" skinny people are naturally skinny. It's the way their metabolism is. Starving yourself isn't going to self your overweight problem, trust me. I've been there and done that. You'll lose weight but eventually gain it all back.

[Makeuphoarder]

I'm used to overeating & feel like I'm starving when I'm not. I'm also guilty of feeling the need to consume something when I'm not even hungry. I'm programmed to eat every few hours.

[Likes2drive]

Very good mytake, I liked reading it , seems to make sense, everyone is different but those small things will make a difference

[Halucinator]

thanks😊

[HOAAH]

I am not overly skinny but at a size 2 most of my life, I think the reason why I am so skinny is because I eat mostly healthy foods.

[melpri]

haha i am the friend who eats a lot but never gains any weight xd

[Halucinator]

😂😂😂

[blondfrog]

Good thing I am born with a fast metabolism. I don' t do any of those thing and I only weight 140lbs.

[Franitz]

Fast metabolism is the main cause. I don't exercise and I can easily eat a 14'' pizza. I never gain weight. Right now I weigh 145 lbs at 6'.

[Therisinghero1]

Im forever skinny but what i do it just eat what i crave because i assume my body knows what it needs more than i do. But i also dont eat a lot of one thing at once, i love variety.

[mrsingle]

It’s weird being a guy who can’t gain weight. Girls are jealous of thin girls that can eat anything, guys look at thin guys as weak or frail, unless they are so overweight they barely can move then they envy thin guys

[thisisntlove]

I don't choose to be skinny. I can't get fat. I have a very high metabolism. I can eat junk food all day and not gain a pound.

Gel pens were all fun... until schools started to BAN THEM and only allow black and or blue ink... and red ink became the teachers-only color...
