  1. Hello. I have read multiple studies that associate American diets and lifestyle with obesity-related health problems that are aggravated by obesity. Diets rich in meat, foods high in sugar and fat. Beer can be one of the most negative things. But to put it briefly, the average American lives to be about 73 years old. And if you are obese (86 kgs plus 89 kgs, the years decrease). The weight you have now (86 kgs) wouldn't be as much of a problem, but the weight you seem to have before was obviously a more serious problem, from what I've read. In fact, I have read that many people in the United States take medication and yet that would be the expected biological years they would reach. So your case, with the weight you said you had before, could be unusual, even if you take medication to avoid cardiovascular problems. Some data: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/life-expectancy.htm https://www.nature.com/articles/s41366-018-0210-2
  2. These cases like yours are very rare, such a heavy person does not regularly reach the age of 80 with Western eating habits, even so, it is likely that you have been very assiduous on medication. I say this assuming that your weight loss was after age 70. But you probably had to lose weight with age like most, not just with your self-imposed weight loss. For example, anabolic substances such as testosterone decrease with age, which is related to a decrease in muscle mass and weight. It is not surprising that the production of other anabolic hormones is also affected by age and fat is also lost, until it happens like the common old people, who tend to have excess skin hanging like in fat people who lose weight.

  3. Hey, it seems like you brought up the topic of physics and mathematics. Yes, children gain weight quickly and are not necessarily obese. But, the point here is that anabolic processes, even if the metabolism is accelerated, will lead to weight gain. So the same can be applied to obesity. Obesity is probably the product of anabolic processes that lead to hypertrophy of adipose tissue. That is in the study, the weight gain in middle age that some people report cannot be attributed to the slow metabolism, simply because the metabolism is stable during that stage.
  4. But man, this is among the first paragraphs, but I quote it: For the rest, I think that since the article does not mention it, there is no need for evidence that children and adolescents gain weight faster than when they are adults due to their growth processes. A newborn child can go from less than 10 pounds to more than double that in just one year (+20 pounds). That is, this is a child of normal weight. It is difficult for a person, especially of normal weight, to gain so many pounds again so quickly in their entire biological life. It is also known that elderly or almost elderly people begin to lose weight. For example, men can gain weight up to age 55 and then begin to lose it, and women up to age 65. The elderly lose weight. If you also need references on this, I have no problem providing it, but this is something known, that when you are growing you gain weight and that when you begin to age you lose weight. In fact, I leave you a reference about aging: https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/003998.htm Blessing in the name of Yeshu the Anointed
  5. Abstract It is known that matter cannot be created or destroyed in the universe, which has proposed that lower calorie expenditure be associated with an increase in body weight. Driven by this idea, an explanation that dominated for a long time was the one that held that those with faster metabolisms burn more calories and those with slower metabolisms burn fewer calories. Thus, following intuition, it was proposed that those who have slow metabolisms are prone to gain weight compared to those who have fast metabolisms. That position seems to make sense until it is confronted with experimental evidence. The most complete study on metabolism to date (you can check the link) supports a different panorama. The study, in summary, suggests that metabolic acceleration would not influence weight gain in adulthood. The study found that human metabolism would only accelerate until the first year of biological life (+-), then begin to decline until adulthood where it stabilizes, until it declines again in old age (after 60 years +-) That is to say, the experimental data from this study suggest that when the metabolism is faster, the most weight is gained, and when it slows down, the weight is lost. Children gain weight rapidly as they grow and the elderly begin to lose weight. This evidently seems contradictory to the hypothesis of metabolic acceleration. Counterintuitive for some. However, the explanation is simple. Children gain weight despite their faster metabolism because they are carrying out more anabolic processes, on the other hand, the elderly lose weight despite having an increasingly slower metabolism because they are carrying out more catabolic processes. So this study shows that when calories are used preferably through anabolic, rather than catabolic, pathways, weight is gained. It would then not be so much about how many calories you burn, but how you burn them. Even if you spend more calories than another person, if those calories are used in anabolic processes they will make it easier for you to gain weight. This proposal, which coincides with current evidence, would explain what the realistic participation of metabolism in the issue of body weight would be.
