I did some research and this one is backed up by actual medical science, folks…

Ancel Keys' seminal study on starvation demonstrated the severe health consequences and decreased life expectancy associated with prolonged lack of food intake (Keys et al., 1950).

So at the very least I would err on the side of eating some food, sometimes, rather than no food, never, until you talk to your doctor or nutritionist. :)

The joke is people will mention the latter at any chance they get even if it doesn't fit.

So the format is:

But the most important detail is I personally have a fast metabolism, I can eat as much as I want and not gain weight for whatever reason lol.

i’ve just started dangling various food types by twine from my ceiling and running at top speed around the house with my mouth open like pacman, am i doing it right

But only if you unhinge your jaw and swallow the entire loaf whole.

Finally some truth! Thank you PugJesus.

Yeah I think there is a lot of misunderstanding by these individuals. Faster and slower metabolisms certainly exist (especially varying across values like age, sex, and hormone levels), but outside of medical science circles the “fast metabolism” label is often misapplied to situations like yours, which are much more concretely explained as a difference in lifestyle. :) Thanks for sharing.

I don't know about the metabolism, but you are definitely wrong about the spelling of "told"

“yeah it’s like no matter how much i eat i don’t gain any weight; also i’m so super attractive and gorgeous” —you, probably

...how many people ARE you? Did you post this via democratic consensus?

The chosen one.

Going through puberty twice will do that.

I don't understand the post, but I have a "fast metabolism" according to my team of gastroenterologists trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Normal people apparently don't take a huge dump 8 hours after a colonosopy. Food isn't supposed to be processed that fast, and it's incredibly difficult for me to gain weight just by eating, I couldn't eat that much if I tried. Weight training and lots of supplemental protein is the only way for me.

No, misinformation. While it’s more complex than a sliding scale, rates of metabolism do differ between individuals and are definitely not disproven or insignificant.

While lifestyle and diet are key considerations to health and weight management, it’s important not to dismiss differences in metabolic rates in affecting the body as you do here.

That episode of King of the Hill where Hank got the silicone pads to put in his pants has lived in my mind since I first saw it. I have been sorely tempted.

The moment someone said "You might develop an ass on HRT", I was ready. The concept of having something back there besides the pointy bits of my pelvis sounds absolutely delightful. Then I'd just need something over the pair of daggers I call hips.

that’s a valid choice to make for which i would support you should you choose to go down that road !

I thought I had 0 ass for years. Just like you, nothing but bone. Pants always sliding right off me because I had nothing to hold them in place. Turns out, I actually just developed Posterior Pelvic Tilt from all the compensating I did for my bad ankles without realizing it. Also that apparently I have a really high waist and wide hips for a AMAB person and I've basically been wearing my pants way too low all this time.
