Slim people, how do you avoid oversetting?

Slim people, how do you avoid oversetting?

How do you people do it. Do you have extreme self control or is there some kind of unlimited food cheat code the rest of us don’t know of.

No matter how much I try I just can’t help NOT eating a random ice cream or two (emphasis on the two)

I guess everyone is built differently. I’m 34, 5 foot 7 and I’ve never weighed more than 60Kg. I have a very fast metabolism (I can have a meal and be starving within 2 hours) and I’m a type one diabetic. If I’m not in perfect control of my blood glucose for a bit, I start losing weight like crazy.

Im now weight 53Kg and struggling to gain any measure of weight.

Damn son. Certainly wouldn’t want to be in your shoes. Usually I’ve always imagined high metabolism equating to higher calorie intake. Never knew it worked the other way round. After all if your body is really good at taking up nutrients then it ought to be gaining a lot more weight right? Btw is there any reason why you got type 1 diabetes so early?

High metabolism means the body goes through stuff really fast. For me it’s hard to keep up with it, so I’m always at a deficit.

Type 1 diabetes shows up early 90% of the times (it used to be knows as juvenile diabetes). It’s a result of a autoimmune disorder that destroys the insulin producing cells in the pancreas (it’s a completely different disease than type 2). I was diagnosed when I was 11 yo. Type 2 is a metabolism disorder, often as a result of excess weight and a sedentary life style that develops insulin resistance. While type 2 continue to produce insulin, albeit now enough or not as effective because of fat, type ones stop producing it completely.

Wow that sucks dude. Hope it does not get any worse. The only way to manage is with insulin shots I suppose
