What Actually Makes Naturally Thin People Thin
We all have skinny people in our social circle who seem like they can eat whatever they want and never gain weight.
Although there are tons of opinions about why exactly thin people are thin, let's dive into some of them
So, what is it that makes naturally thin people thin?”
As a doctor and scientist say there is a lot of conflict about the eating habits of thin people.
We assume that they eat healthily on most days or are very active.
However, it’s often a misconception.
Our thin friends order takeaways, drink sugary drinks and are not hesitant to have some wine or beer when they get home from work every day. Just like everyone else!

So HOW on earth do they manage to stay thin?
Answer 1: Our slim friends sometimes do consume fewer calories throughout the day. They will have pizza for lunch but will skip dinner, for example.
They might also be more active, not necessarily by going to the gym daily, but by walking more, being fidgety, parking a car further from the shop… But it’s just a small number of them.
Answer 2: It may sound difficult, but bear with me if you struggle to lose weight!
Thin people have an active enzyme that regulates metabolism and is often not activated (although there are ways to “fire it up”) in overweight and obese people.
It’s called an AMPK (5′ AMP-activated protein kinase), an energy sensor within our bodies.
If activated, this enzyme stimulates metabolism, improves insulin sensitivity, decreases inflammation, and improves muscle performance.
AMPK is also involved in several longevity pathways and may promote healthy aging.
Because of AMPK, thin people have a faster metabolism, an answer to why they eat what they eat and are still slim, yet others eat the same thing and wake up 2 pounds heavier the following day.
