Q: (Initially posted on June 30, 2003) FROM MENTEE
KAREN S. IN NY
Although I am a healthy young woman, I easily gain weight. I
work out regularly, eat healthily and am in shape. {My doctor
verifies this.} I have acquaintances who eat much more {and
not as healthy food as I} and are not athletes. They, however,
are much thinner than I am. Is this simply a matter of different
metabolisms, or body types, or is there something else that
causes different amounts of weight gain in humans? |

A: FROM MENTEE KUNJAL IN NY
I learned that everybody has a different metabolism and that
there body's function differently. I eat twice as much as
my friends, yet I still don't gain much weight for i have
a fast metabolism, i am a vegetarian and i am involved in
many sports and do dance and am very active. Some of my other
friends do some of the same activities as me and live the
same kind of lifestyle yet their metabolism's are slower which
is why there is a weight difference between them and I. A
long time ago i realized that since we are all so different,
we shouldn't compare ourselves to people around us because
we are all different and that is what makes this world so
unique. it's good that you are active and that you eat healthy...
sometimes that is all you can do, and remember: always be
proud and confident about who you are, cause that is all you
can be.
