Why Some People Never Gain Weight? The Science Behind It
The Secret: Metabolism Matters Ever envied those who eat freely without gaining weight? The answer lies in energy balance —where calories consumed meet calories burned. While visible activities (exercise/work) contribute, basal metabolic rate (BMR) —the energy used for vital functions like breathing and circulation—plays the starring role. Key Insights High-BMR "Benz" Bodies : Naturally elevated BMR (often genetic) burns more calories at rest, making weight gain harder. Limits Exist : Even high metabolisms can’t outpace extreme overeating. Weight-Loss Myths Debunked Fruit Isn’t Free-Pass : 5 oranges ≈ 1 bowl of rice (sugar converts to fat). Stick to 200g/day. TV = Overeating Trap : Distraction leads to 30% more intake. Limit meals to 30 mins. Nighttime Rule : No food 4hrs before bed. Brushing teeth post-dinner curbs cravings. Bottom Line : Weight management is 70% metabolism, 30% habits.
