Does EVERYBODY on the Escapist Have a Fast Metabolism?

[superbatranger]

I honestly have no idea what kind of metabolism I have. I think it leans more towards the fast side. I think another factor is that I'm a light eater.

 

[Comrade Mateo]

When I eat, I eat well (I am a great cook) but my home seems to be low on supplies constantly due to roommates, so generally I just DON'T EAT. Its not very hard when you get used to it.

With my lack of food I am pretty skinny, but I know if I ate more and worked out I could be healthy. But I'm a lazy ass, so that is out of the question.

 

[Skops]

This is a good question. I would also like to questions everyone IQ, last IQ related thread was made, roughly 3/4 people would say they had an IQ over 135... which is far above the average 110. But OP must realize that even though this is The Escapist, it is still THE INTERNET and everyone should be taken with a big ball of salt.

OT: I for one used to have a fast metabolism.. when I was young. Now 22, my junk food and pop combo ways have caught up to me and I gain weight pretty easily.

 

[AllLagNoFrag]

I would wish my metab would be higher

I have to eat that little bit more healthier than others. Oh well..

 

[Dollar Bill]

My metabolism is pretty slow, but then again everything about me is slow.

I think I must have a high metabolism as, like many people on here, I eat double portions of everything and what I eat really isn't very healthy. Yet I remain around normal size. Ok maybe a little bit of excess flab

 

[The Stonker]

Hmm not really but my body can process proteins so fast that I get muscles much faster then most folk.

And I like being the way I am because then I have fuel for the love machine

 

[AldirTK]

I have an average metabolism I guess. I eat junk food, sometimes play a football match or go to the gym, and I've been the same weight since the last two years.

 

[Lucifron]

I have the metabolism of an obese manatee so, no. However, my body responds to exercise like 50 Cent responds to hookers and blow, so it evens out.

Or rather, it would even out if I did exercise regularly >.>

 

[Mockingjay]

I don't. I also have a massive ass to show for it.

 

[ottenni]

Nope. My metabolism is fairly average, i'm just very very active.

 

[TG MLPDashie]

i have a fast metabolism also. i once spent $100 on pizza and coke for the week (and some cakes and chocolates) and i only gained 0.5Kg, i can eat & eat and never gain weight.

 

[Exocet]

Mine is slower than the average(says the blood test from 3-4 years ago).

 

[aLivingPheonix]

I'd say I have a pretty high metabolism considering that while I do exercise, my diet is...well pretty bad since it mostly consists of carbs and fat, yet I am still lean.


I do love my high metabolism though

You sound almost exactly like me,

But yeah, I'm still fairly young, so my metabolism is still at a nice rate. It might also help that I work out on a daily basis, but that's not really an intense workout...

I still dread the day I become fat...

 

[JIst00]

Mine is mega fast. I eat my own body wieght in junk a day and stay slim. I dont exercise at all either. Im just blessed. And the mrs hates it cuz she has to watch what she eats, and gets jealous of me eating whatever I want and not showing it.

 

[Kasawd]

Fast metabolism, reporting in.

EDIT FOR SUBSTANCE: Now that I think about it, I don't know too many fat gamers. that's probably just my area, though.

 

[Buffoon]

Self selection bias, for one thing. People with fast metabolisms are more likely to boast about it.

As for me, I think my metabolism is quite slow, I started going to the gym a couple of years back, I have very, very slowly lost weight but it's taken a lot of effort. I still have plenty of flab, too. My diet isn't great but I'm not a huge eater either.

 

[Reverend Del]

Not anymore. Getting on a bit, you see. Metabolisms getting slower as I get older.
