You feed you metabolism regualy therefore keeping it contiually working and making you thin. You friend does not feed her metabolism regually so whenver she does eat she will put it straight on as extra weight because her metabolism is slow and confused.|||It's called genetics and metabolism. Each body is different and responds different to calorie intake. You, luckily, can just burn calories at a faster rate. I would suggest you still watch what you eat for cholesterol reasons.|||maybe she has a slower metabolism , or maybe when she does eat , it's bad food or portions which are an issue...|||You don't eat tonnes.|||That's no food at all.
