Personal metabolic traits: Why do some people gain weight easily, while others can eat whatever they want and not gain weight?

Here, we'll help you understand the mechanisms of your body's natural functions and show you that burning fat during sleep is actually part of natural regulation. You don't need to rely on folk remedies to get rid of fat; we'll tell you how.

This theory is indeed useful; in fact, there's no reason for it to fail.

You don't achieve your goal through external drugs or surgery, nor do you remove anything from your body; you simply utilize your body's natural mechanisms.

If this theory fails, then there is only one possibility: your body has developed some kind of problem that prevents the liver from storing glycogen, the brain from using energy properly, and the endocrine system from functioning properly, thus hindering the normal repair mechanisms, etc.

However, if that's the case, you probably won't be able to meditate and read this book here anymore.

"But aren't some people just more prone to weight gain than others?"

Yes, that's because each of our bodies operates according to the way our genes record it.

Each person's genetic makeup is unique.

From our hair to our hearts, you can find differences.

This is why there is no medicine that can guarantee to "cure everyone," especially when it comes to weight loss.

However, the basic principle remains the same: if you eat more than you burn, you will definitely gain weight.

Conversely, if you eat less than you burn, you can lose weight.

Interestingly, while some people are constantly striving to get rid of obesity, others are able to maintain a satisfactory weight and health, and are not easily fatigued.

Some people, no matter how much they eat, can maintain a stable weight and remain healthy.

Everyone has their own metabolic characteristics, which are mainly determined by our body-mind genes, external living environment factors, lifestyle, growth and development process, dietary preferences, and the amount of exercise.

Even the climate factors in our living environment play a certain role.

Although we all need to absorb nutrients and calories to maintain our body's basic functions, such as heart, digestion, brain function, and blood circulation, this basic consumption value varies greatly from person to person.

Our thirst and hunger are influenced by a series of hormones.

Just like when we are full, when we are digesting, and many other bodily sensations, they are all communicated to the brain through internal signals, reminding it of the actions we must take in order to maintain the normal functioning of the body.

Conditions that stimulate the secretion of these hormones include exercise, menstruation, physical fatigue, and even viral infections such as the common cold.

For some people, a regular exercise habit can bring great benefits to the body, but for others, even if they do the same exercise, it will not cause any changes to their body.

Some people can easily build muscle and get rid of excess fat, but others, no matter how often they go to the gym, still can't achieve similar results.

However, the success or failure of exercise can affect our psychology and self-confidence, because changes in physical appearance can impact our self-perception and affect our emotions.

Successful changes can make us enjoy food more, but failures can lead to more problems, such as bulimia or anorexia.

Some statistics show that about one in ten modern people face this problem.

The solution is not to rely on those bottles and jars of weight-loss foods, or on diets that are irregular and changed at will.

What we need to do is manage our appetite based on our unique individual metabolic characteristics, and then enjoy our own stable and healthy physical state.

"But how do I know what my personal metabolic traits are?"

Why are your personal metabolic traits so important?

You want to lose weight, and you've been told to reduce your calorie intake, but it's not working at all.

Everyone has their own metabolic characteristics, and the difference in metabolic rate between individuals can be as much as three times or more.

Even if two sisters have similar lifestyles and eat similar foods, their calorie expenditure may still be very different when they eat the same low-calorie meal.
