And not gain not even one pound?


 

I’m just curious. I have seen ladies who are thin and they don’t follow any type of diet, they don’t exercise either or follow any kind of physical activity but the way they eat is like how some men eat, (hehe!!) totally unhealthy, because they eat big amount of food, junk food, the only vegetables they like to eat are cabbage and cucumber, that is all the vegetables they eat and they hardly eat fruits. How can they stay thin if their eating habits are that, I wonder? A lady at work is like that so I always wonder how is possible while other women struggle to maintain a nice healthy eating habits and exercise to at least stay in shape or good and these ladies are thin and don’t have to worry about diet, exercise, or at least eating correctly

Hi chicle and welcome to F&H !
We're glad to have you here : )

Well, I guess it's their metobolism that is allowing them to eat any way they want to !
I used to be able to do that too, years ago.....lol.

We've got some ladies here that are awesome support!
If you're looking to stay/get fit and healthy......we would love to help !

Hope to see you here again soon !

Hi, Chicle and welcome to Fitness & Health!
It's all in your body's metabolism and makeup. Until I was about 18 or so, I could eat ANYthing and not gain a pound. Now, this is not to say I was better off either, because I already had high sodium, and near high blood pressure because I didn't eat well.

I do envy people who can do that, but at the same time, they have similar struggles because they may be too thin and can't do anything about it - I have one friend like that and she's sick of people asking her why she's so skinny, like she's got an eating disorder - she's just always been like that since we were kids.

We just gotta take care of the bodies we have, because it's all we've got *wink*

Anywho, welcome to the board and I hope to see you around!

Hi chicle,
Do you think it has to do with their ages ?
How old is the gal at work ?
Some are lucky I guess ..
I use to be like that when I was younger long ago
It does have to do with their metabolism too.
And how much they move around all day as well.
Are you looking to get/stay fit & healthy ?
If so I hope you'll join us here.
Lots of
