Why do some people NEVER gain weight and I do?

[Anonymous]

It's so unfair. My friends eat so much and NEVER gain weight but if I have to eat one piece of cake, I will definitely gain weight. The other day I had 2 slices of pizza and my best friend had a whole box of pizza and she is soOo skinny and I'm not!! I don't eat bread, rice, cereals, sugar, none of that and I go to the gym 3 times a week, not because I want to but because I have to, to keep my weight down😔 Lately I've been so busy so for a month I couldn't go to gym and I gained 5kg, that's more than 10 lbs if I'm correct. My friends don't go to gym and they stay being skinny. Why is life so unfair😭😭😭

You're right - life is unfair. It's just different physiologies. When I get super busy, I lose weight instead and it's hard to find time to eat enough. Also saw this guy on TV, he looks hefty but actually runs marathons. He is technically obese by health department standards, yet he's a super athlete. So being big doesn't automatically mean unhealthy.

It's great you are going to the gym and putting in the effort! Just try to be the best version of you possible and be happy with that. Don't expect to change into somebody else. Honestly you might always be on the bigger side cause that's what your body naturally gravitates to. But bigger girls look fine if they are proportional, and working out will definitely help with that. Also, don't just cut out the high-calorie foods, replace them with healthy, natural alternatives. Ie. juice instead of diet soda. Some natural supplements out there may speed up metabolism too.

A lot of it is in your genes. It is exactly like what you are asking. You need to know your body and eat / exercise accordingly.

I completely understand you. Omw of my friends has the same. She eats so much and never gains anything, when we eat together I put on some weight and she still doesn't. Basically they have a very high morabelism.

Its genetics sorry girl but you and I, love, gotta work for us to stay in shape

[Coolguy1928]

That just means they have extremely high metabolism, and you have a very low one. I heard you can get a your metabolism higher by having a proper diet, a healthy exercise, and not skip meals. But I'm still not 100% sure about it. :-/

I wanna gain weight. I'm pretty slim. And my metabolism is super high. The only up side is I can eat what I want. But, at the same time I won't gain weight. Which is bad.

Stuff your mouth and workout whenever you aren't sore = weight gain/buff

[Alexious]

Yeah, but I'm slim. Once I put on some pounds I'm hitting you gym dude.

Because the genetic lottery wants you to die. Survival of the Fittest, ole!
