How Can Some People be so Skinny Even Though They Eat So Much?
Don't you just hate it when you see people who are so thin but eat what they like, when they like.
We all know someone like that but how is it that they can be so skinny but eat twice as much as you you may ask?
Natural Factors Influencing Weight & Body Shape
Well the underlying difference between someone who watches what they eat and their skinny, food munching friends, is their metabolisms.
What this means is that different people metabolise food at different rates, so that someone with a fast metabolism will generally process their food faster and maintain a slimmer body.
Other factors such as age, sex, amount of muscle compared to fat and the amount of exercise we do every day affect the shapes of body.
Therefore people with slim looking bodies are not necessarily on healthy diets & eating plans - they may just be lucky enough to benefit good genetics or hormonal factors which can affect metabolic rates.
Males, due to their testosterone levels, have higher metabolic rates than females and therefore natuarally don't put on weight quiet so easily as females.
Unfortunately as we get older our active growth hormones become less active which reduces our rate of metabolism and hence the tendancy to put on weight & the difficulty experienced in getting rid of that middle age spread.
Ways to Speed Up Our Metabolism
Women will naturally have a higher metabolism when they are pregnant and higher still when they breastfeed however this drops when they go through menopause.
To maintain or increase their metabolic rate, exercise would encourage muscle growth and therefore speed up their metabolism.
Regular exercise for anyone will naturally encourage the body's metabolism to speed up and process food faster.
