in real life Metabolism plays a huge part in whether or not a person is fat or not.
That is a load of hooey. Metabolism plays a huge part in how much food you need. Metabolism has nothing to do with how fat you are, and believing this flies in the face of the basic physical law of CONSERVATION OF MASS. Consider that it is impossible to gain weight if you don't have anything to eat. Consider that you will blow up like a balloon if you expend no energy and consume a diet consisting entirely of butter and lard. Assuming that a person's fuel economy varies, there is a point at which the amount of fuel produced is exactly equal to the amount of fuel consumed. Basic mathematics. All you have to do is find that point, and this is easily accomplished through a simple binary search process. BASIC MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICAL LAWS DO NOT LIE. All this "metabolism" crap is a load of hooey!

In terms of weight management and/or weight loss, metabolism is the way our body burns calories from the food we eat and converts it into the energy our bodies need to function. It's a complex process that includes all of the chemical reactions taking place in our bodies to keep our organs working, therefore keeping us alive.
A metabolic rate is the speed at which your body burns up calories. Many factors affect metabolic rate, including sex, height, weight, age, lifestyle, genetics, and overall composition of the body.
Metabolic rate is significant when managing weight. The faster our metabolism, the more calories we'll burn, and the less likely it is that we'll be (or become) overweight.

Thats exactly what my doctor said when he was explaining to me why my weight does not stay stable and continues to spiral downward.he treats me for graves disease an autoimmune disease that effects the thyroid. its the thyroid that regulates the entire metabolic system and can either set it on ultra fast or ultra slow when the immune system attacks it.in my case the thyroid has me set on Ultra fast . which causes damage to occur to the entire body. a slow setting can cause weight gain, excess fatigue etc..... so weight is not always a correlation to how much food is consumed. if it were I would be 500 lbs instead of barely over 100 lbs . my daughter would weigh about 50 lbs less if food was the deciding factor for her. the dr. indicated to her that she has a thyroid disorder that causes her metabolism to crawl and as a result everything she eats just sits and doesnt get turned into energy. he started her on medication to correct the problem in one month she has lost 20 lbs of the 70 she needs to lose .

And the more fuel you burn through, the faster you run out of fuel. If I could slow down my incineration rate, I would, because consuming 8 pound steaks is expensive. You fuel-economy people have it easy, you can eat practically nothing and still maintain your weight. And not eating is certainly a great timesaver that lets you get more done!

I had a similar problem a few years ago. I just kept dropping weight for no reason and I was skinny to start with. I looked awful and people kept asking if I had an eating disorder, which I certainly didn't.
My best friend was visiting some mutual friends overseas and they were always asking her to cook for me and make sure I ate. She got sick of saying 'but she eats ALL THE TIME' so she said she would. When she got back, she took me out for yum cha. I ate chinese food constantly for over an hour while she giggled, then we walked the eight or so blocks back into town.
I made her stop for icecream on the way. ::)
