Chances of having high metabolism?!
Question: I get most of my features from my dads side. My dad has a high metabolism and he got when he was in his teens. For about a year I've been losing weight . The past 3 months I stayed at 117.I can eat anything I want and still stay 117 and once in awhile loose a couple more pounds.. Is there a chance I developed a high metabolism from my dad? How do I know for sure ( like by an online test) not by doctor?

not really a test....but i would say you do. I am the same way. If you eat all the time and don't gain wieght then it means your body is burning it off. more than likely high metab
My DH has a high metabolism; he has to consume about
3000 calories resting daily to maintain his weight, and if
he works hard, more like 4000 to 4500. Needless to say,
he is a challenge to feed! Our youngest son inherited this,
and he is quite thin, though he eats well.
Both have higher body temps, lower blood pressure, and
low resting heart rates. I don't know for sure this goes with
the high metabolism, but it does with them.
There should be sites online that adress this. Unless it
is affecting your health adversely, I'd consider myself
lucky to burn up fuel efficiently and not gain weight.
