How come skinny people don't get fat?

woman eating chocolate - How come skinny people don't get fat when they eat a lot. It is not fair. Skinny people can eat what they want. Some people they gain weight so fast that they can't eat what they want.

When they eat an enermous amount of food they still remain skinny. It's not fair for someone like me who has to undergo a strict diet because I can't eat what I want while maintaining my weight. Here I am on a strict diet and I have a sister who is so skinny but only god knows how much she eats in a day. To add that up, when she eats, she gets second to fourth helpings a meal. Where do the food go? Why isn't any of it gets to be her extra meat? Is this a question of metabolism rate?

hi rina, well, i think it is determined by our inherent genes (that's just one of the factors). it makes we getting different speed of metabolism. i eat lots everyday but my weight remains the same for years. i don't know where the food goes. i have a friend also which is quite skinny, though she eat much everyday, and she hardly does exercises or other physical activities. and the doctor's diagnoses is funny: she is too skinny because she lacks physical activities. how come? i don't know. life is a mystery.

hi sutanhartanto, well i guess its the genes and the metabolism rates then. what's funny i just thought about is that, most skinny people wants to be a bit fatter and vice versa. The doctor's diagnoses is funny though. I'm interested to know why that is. Life sure is mystery. Anyway enjoy food yourself then hehe. Cheers :)

Oh, i envy those women who can eat whenever they want and remains skinny!!! I always complaining about this to my slim friends. And they like "oh i dont know why, i just cant get any fat on me even if i ate a huge at night." with innocence voice. God!! why i cant be that slender? i hate the cells that make my thighs fat like an elephant!!!
