Yes, I believe it. Fat people I have known LOVE food. Fat, Sugar, Frozen Fish Sticks right out of the freezer, etc. But I am fat now too. I eat less but I think metablolism slows down once we are elderly. Then we get super skinny as we get really old. That is how my family did.
My uncle would have been 102 this month. Richard Thoos Hargrove... MIA WWII B 17 Over France. The men on his side of our family were all 6 ft 3 inches or taller, and never got fat. On my mom’s side the men stayed thin but the aunts all got fat for a while.
Great Grandpa Hargrove was REALLY tall, so was my daddy. Daddy would have been 100 Sept 1 2019
Being taller helps. I’m a little fat at 5’8”. If I go to lunch with someone 6’3” and we both eat the same food and the same amount, I may get fat while he remains slim just because I have less area to spread out the food.
I gained weight because I mostly ate out of boredom.
Thank God I discovered the Keto diet and Intermittent Fasting.
