I'm sorry to say that without constant exercise, it is extremely easy for me to pack on weight. The same is true of my boyfriend, who maintains his weight but does not lose any despite his constant activity at work. If you are a naturally thin person, you are not going to gain weight as fast as someone who doesn't share your metabolic rate, and a slower metabolism is going to take longer to lose weight without extra work.That's a myth. Larger people have a faster metabolism.

Can you tell me: 1. do you know what your individual BMR is? 2. do you know exactly how much energy you consume per week?

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances.
