Yo FUCK that doctor dogg. I'm skinny as fuck and deadass past the "youth boosted" metabolism excuse I was hearing in my teens, twenties, early thirties, etc. Still waiting, still can't put on weight. I mean I can, if I really really REALLY try, I can put on some weight.

But yeah, it's bullshit, I'm not like this from hard work, good eating or, generally, ever making a conscious, or intelligent decision, in my life. In fact I will probably die prematurely from preventable disease, while still "but she looked so in shape and youthful."

Horse shit. Hope you can find a smarter doctor one day, that one sounds straight up ignorant as in failed to learn a damn thing before opening their mouth on the subject. Not just ignorant as in lazy bigot. Not a good look, "DOCTOR".

220 here. I used to be 150lbs damp until about 27, and I used to consume at least 1.5 liters of cola a night. I once got a double pack of 2 liter bottles of Cola for christmas, that's how much I would drink it. I was always 150ish while eating like shit.

Now I hover around 220. I haven't been able to "workout" regularly since we had kids. When I was I never lost weight because I was gaining muscle.

Your doctor is a quack.

The highest I ever got was 190 back when I was eating like shit and not really doing much (pandemic + just being worn out from work).

But yeah, as others have said, its not really helpful that that's how your doctor wants to approach it.

I was pretty skinny when I was younger. Got on some psych meds and I’m not slightly overweight. I’ve always haven’t been a big eater. When my dad hangs out with me he says I eat so little and am overweight. He eats a shit ton or food and is super skinny. Other factors other than diet and excercise.

I don't work out and I eat like shit.

Been 55kg for years.

I'm also like, 22.

But I do walk like a few km everyday.

Can I get a roll call for the people who are less than 370 lbs and eat like shit or don’t work out? Because I’m pretty sure you exist.

Edit: I have been informed that I am probably off-base here and am not substantially outside the norm. Leaving the comment up for posterity.

Winner of the genetic lottery here, 200lbs and 6'. My diet consists primarily of different kinds of slop, and I'd wager I average around 3000cal/day (Edit: actually went back and did a rough count for yesterday and got 2900 so maybe a little lower). The extent of my physical activity is walking around at work for maybe an hour a day, occasionally taking the stairs in my apartment building, and riding a stationary bike for 20-40 minutes a few times a month. I have gone to the doctor once in the past because I was worried that I was sick after people kept asking if I'd lost weight when I hadn't changed my habits at all.

im pretty skinny esp for my age, and i dont eat particularly healthy things, but i probably undereat sometimes too.
