    All my life I have been eating and drinking what I want, as much as I want, and when I want.
    I drink beer and yet I have no beer belly. I only drink full cream milk in my coffee and tea, with 3 spoons of sugar - 10 cups a day. I love pasta and potatoes, bacon and boerewors, cheese grillers, chocolates, wine gums... the list of 'fattening foods' I like is very long.:D

    And yet I don't gain weight. In fact, I'm under weight for my height.
    Why? :confused:

    Same here, have always been able to eat whatever i desired and never gained weight.
    Very fortunate my mates tell me.
    Im 54 yo, 183cm and weigh 82kg.....when i was 21 I was 79kg.

    Tim is right....Metabolism

    Never had a huge appetite though (only for beer), the Mrs says I eat like a sparrow.

    Damn you Eldon, now I want to try some boerewors on the BBQ, looks yum!!

    short answer:
    "high metabolism"
    meaning:
    leptin sensitivity

    --leptin is not the answer., Fat people have tons of leptin(its made by full fat cells)
    but
    the brain responds poorly, (akin to being insulin resistant) so high leptin did nothing to curb hunger.
    ie you are leptin INSENSITVE, always hunger and your body has a shitty metabolism. etc




    longer answer

    bodyfat regulation.

    With early research (I’m talking the 1950’s) having established the existence of some type of setpoint (again, primarily in animal models), early researchers had to sort of guess what might be going on in terms of regulating body fat levels.

    Essentially they postulated that the brain of the animal must be responding in some form or fashion to a hormone that scaled with body fat levels. They could only postulate what it was and it would take another 40 years before a major candidate would make itself known.

    In 1994, the gene for a hormone that would eventually be called leptin (from the Greek “leptos” for thin) was discovered in the OB (OB stands for obesity) mouse. The OB mouse had been studied for decades and was spontaneously overweight with a low resting metabolic rate, low levels of activity, etc. It ate a lot, put on fat easily, etc. Here’s what it looks like compared to a normal lean mouse.

    that's great
    being low weight decreases all causes mortality
    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22530540

    and
    what you eat is also important
    to reduce chance for cancer


    and even not getting dental caries
