How can my brother be so skinny, and eat so much!?!
Question: He eats alot!! and not good food either... junk mainly. Drinks lots of tea, smokes, drinks alcohol a hell of alot more than i do, yet is very slim! and stays that way...... has been for well over 20 years...
I on the other hand am big... not obese big... but just big!
I smoke, hardly drink though... I eat just 3 meals a day with snacks in between... healthy and non healthy.... I'm not bothered about losing weight, thats not what i'm curious about. I do eat junk food, a little each day (but no where near as much as my brother lol)
I walk everyday. He doesn't exercise whatsoever, but infact works at home, sitting on the computer all day long!
I'm just curious to how he can stay so slim and eat loads and i can't....?
And generally why certain people can stay slim and eat crap, not exercise..etc anyway!?

You're brother sounds like my boyfriend. The Thyroid gland releases a chemical which helps break own food faster and people who's Thyroid produce alot generally can eat all they like. The Thyroid gland is one of the causes of the Metabolism, and people are able to change their metabolisms and the amount of the chemical. But for those whose Thyroid produces too much, the only thing that fixes it is to remove a small part of it so it produces less. Your thyroid probably releases a bit less than your brothers and you're eating habits are different too. Hopefully this helps.

He is one of the blessed few, that have very very high motabalisms.
maybe he should try taking some de-worm medicine.
...I hate your brother! Lol
It's probably he has high metabolism! whereas u may not! Its common, im the same cuz my brother eats all crap and always has and he's really bony!
metabolism...........my brother is exactly the same way. I have to work hard and diet to be thin!! He eats like a pig and never gains an ounce!! He has been like this his whole life, he is 35 and still skinny!! He is high energy like me too, i am one of those never sits for too long kind of people and i still have weight issues. I think it all comes down to metabolism.
It has something to do with his metabolism..
His metabolism is very high that he burns fat easily.
I, on the other hand, have a normal metabolism. I'm fat (not too fat, but my stomach is big!), because I eat sweets, fatty foods, etc.
It really depends on the metabolism of a person.
either he has a super fast metabolism or he makes himself throw up after he eats. (can't spell the name for it)
Some people have faster metabolism than others. They are able to process what they eat faster, so it does not stay in their system long. Also, it is possible that your bother is keeping a very active lifestyle.
He has a very fast metabolism. He may be very lucky and could be like that for all of his life or his metabolism may slow down at a higher age. Its just important to remember that junk food is still junk and its still bad for you so just because he is thin, it does not mean that he is healthy. Thin people can still have heart disease and diabetes.
he eats a lot bc even though hes consuming the calories he prob burns them off in the process in eating and he needs the calories skinny people need more calories a day.I think if he feels hungry he should eat.he needs the energy.youd be surprised to know how many calories a person needs just to sleep.i can tell u it more than a person consumes in a day.
It's all in the metabolism. I hate metabolism because I have to have the slowest in all womankind.
Its probably just in his genes but don't be surprised if he puts on weight as he gets older and his health gets worse if he continues on like this.
He may be thinner but is he healthier than you??
I am just like your brother, I can eat a lot and not gain anything. In fact I'm quite scrawny. I'm a little frustrated with it cause I wouldn't mind being able to put on a few pounds. Don't act like you are the only one with a problem.
How can you eat moderately and keep a moderate weight, while I have to eat a lot just to stay at the same weight?
He better be careful. It proably is metabo but it can catch up with you. I know lots of people who were really skinny and could eat whatever until they reached and certain age and WHAM they got a huge gut...this happened to my dad and now he is so use to eating whatever he wants its harder for him to diet.
because his food breaks down faster
