    You would hate me - I’ve always eaten whatever I want and somehow stay trim automatically. My wife eats a burger and gains 5 lbs.

      I’m like you and my husband gains weight from eating the same amount. I did get like 20 lbs bigger than I wanted and we went on keto together and my weight plummeted to the point I had to come off and he lost weight a lot slower. I’ve seen genetics at work it’s a thing

      I was skinny my entire life despite eating far more calories than I could possibly burn. My greatest/only weight gain happened during an experiment with intermittent fasting.
