Well I have noticed that there are some skinny ppl who eat alot ,, even more than fat ppl But their weights stand still !

So how come those skinniez eat that much n never have to worry about their weights ?!

I noticed that too, weird..

I know a couple of close people, they eat like hell. But, never gain weight. These people are ill of something, this is not normal, at least for the people I know.

If they've a fast metabolism rate, then it's very hard for them to gain weight. I had a classmate who eats all the time, yet he does not gain weight (except hight). It was because he had a very fast metabolism rate. Another explanation, is if they have worms in their intestines.

Yea i heard ma father talking about this worm thing ,, locally they call it Siffah !

I'm one of these guys ..... My weight is the same now for 6 years:angry:

If somebody knows how to gain weight that will be helpful:cute:

drink beer !

hehehhe:lift: :lift: and u promise me that i'm gonna
gain weight :think: :6: :p

yea ,, but do it on daily basis ,, 5 to 10 small cans per day for two months o' Inshallah khair !

drink beer !

hmm so u will endup with a beer belly :)
even if u dont gain weight at lest u will look fat :)

back off!! i have no worms in my intestine :cry:

^^so do i ... hi pizzazz .. i just had galaxy chocolate drink :6:

we just have fast metabolism dont we :D
well am baaack in 3man so u can no longer make fun out of me :dev:

welcome back .. i always wondered .. is it true that when u flash the toilet there the water spins in the oppisate direction ?? :)

yes otherwise it will be coming out !

hhehhehehe thats funy P ..... but out of the subject:p

yea ,, but do it on daily basis ,, 5 to 10 small cans per day for two months o' Inshallah khair !

Ohhhhh , , So is this from an expert or it just a talk :mmhmm:

welcome back .. i always wondered .. is it true that when u flash the toilet there the water spins in the oppisate direction ?? :)

turned out to be true :D well we better stop chit chatting or the mods are going to go ballistic :color:

I don't have any worms in my tummy! :no: :(

Those ppl piss me off...

i guess it depends on thier metabolism..

same here Dam3eti :bored:

Dam3eti and Nella: Why? :inno:

I know its depressing isnt it! i mean we have to sit n watch what we eat and torture ourselves.. while they just have to breathe:(!

My brother eats like 2 beef sandwiches loaded with mayo for "breakfast"... lets not even go to lunch or dinner. He's 70 kgs, nearly 6 foot tall, has a 6-pack and never ever works out, but plays all kinds of sports (not regularly).

Fast metabolism + maybe stomach worms. Libby's another example, me thinks. =P

Me?
Hahaha.

Maybe once upon a time, I was like that. I could eat and eat and eat and never gain any weight.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work that way anymore :(

I got that problem too, I tried everything but no use :os ! and the older I grow, the more skinny I get, went for a check up once and hey said I'm normal, According to height x weight table, I am few kilos above the danger level! Someone told me once that if I eat from MCdeez for 3 days in a row I'll gain weight for sure, I ate from MCdeez for 5 days and still no use!

PS: my bread grows fast and I know it sounds funny but I think it has something to do with it!

message for skinny people,

Oman has modernized withing 37 yrs. This duration is not enough to change your genetic make-up. Food availability was minimum before the modern era in Oman and people used to eat less.


Skinny people remain skinny even after over eating because their body is designed in such a way that it stores less fat.
inefficient fat storage causes high level of lipids in blood (Triglycerides and cholesterol). No wonder WHY dyslipidemia in Oman is 21% and obesity is 11%.

Well I have noticed that there are some skinny ppl who eat alot ,, even more than fat ppl But their weights stand still !

So how come those skinniez eat that much n never have to worry about their weights ?!


they get taller instead :p lo0olz
mmm ya skinny ppl don't look attractive to me :os

im one of them ! :p
ppl always say that i gain height instead of wieght !

How old are you Yasirb... gain in height is due to puberty peak

So how come those skinniez eat that much n never have to worry about their weights ?!
I believe Lym provided the best answer.

The so called "skinniez" are usually referred to as ectomorphs. Their build is naturally lean and slim, and that's mainly due to characteristics they've developed since birth. Some people might call it a blessing and others might call it a curse, but ectomorphs should make use of their high metabolism rate prior to marriage because it seems that things inevitably change to the worse after marriage :rolleyes:

There are several ways to overcome this problem for hard gainers, but almost all of them revolve around stuffing yourself with food=calories. A certain formula for weight gain regardless of gender or age is:
Calories consumed > calories used/burned = weight gain

But to be exact, there is certain amount of calories one should maintain above average every week in order to put on weight. :)

i've been the same weight for 10 years ! even after having a baby.. its a curse sometimes..

So okay, they do have high Metabolism rate, so by saying RATE, we mean a number right? How could a person know his/her rate?

19
n i think i have enough height for now ! :)

Arabian Price, what happenes after marriage???

As for a sure way to gain weight, go to Istambuli, order the 1.5 rial shawarma plate with humos and extera mayo sause, have that for dinner for 3 months and you are sure to gain weight...

i tried it coz i was aiming on gaining weight, and i gained 10kg... the problem was that i didnt workout at all and the extra weight went to my tummy... i looked skinny but with a tummy... it was hard for me to get rid of it and i understand how people struggle in loosing weight...

another advice to ppl who wants to gain weight, try to eat alot... and i mean alot... you would need to train yourself to increase your portions... having a heavy breakfast will lead to having a heavy lunch... and for dinner you have Istambuli... once you finish dinner go to sleep...

all the above is unhealthy, but it is a sure way to gain weight... i am not responsibale for your unhealthyness...

So how can you get a high metabolism rate? Is there a way or is it genetic?

Basal metabolic rate is calculated.
if you want to calculate yours then click here (http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/)


yeap Basal metabolic rate (BMR) has genetic component... population admixture is associated with BMR...Plus there are many nutritional, hormonal, sex, age factors which determines the BMR...

Recent studies showed the relation between leptin (Body obesity hormone) and BMR. Plasma leptin variability among individuals has strong genetic component...ask Dr Anthony Comuzzie ....LoL he loves such kind of genetic heritability studies..

so by saying RATE, we mean a number right? How could a person know his/her rate?
The thought of simply calculating ones BMR didn't cross my mind. Somehow though it seems useless, unless you then use your BMR in a way to calculate how many extra calories you need to consume in a day in order to gain weight.. is that even possible? :os

The word rate in this context means any given quantitative measure with respect to time. Arranging the following keywords in the correct order to make up a sentence might give you a clue :p : mitochondria, nutrients, work done over a specific period of time, energy production.

Don't take my word for it Kamakazy :rolleyes: but I'm sure many married people would agree that they're no longer in the best shape of their lives after marriage. I suppose it's mainly caused by a decreases metabolic rate, and I have no clue how it happens if it were true. :)

So how can you get a high metabolism rate? Is there a way or is it genetic?
Each individuals metabolic rate is attributed to his/her genes. However it is possible to overcome low metabolism rates, or increase ones metabolism rate. I strongly doubt that there are any effective natural methods, therefore nutritional supplements (many out there) can and will increase your metabolic rate via different methods. :)

I think the matabolic rate increases as as you increase the muscles in your body. I hears Dr. Oz say that when he was in Oprah show. :D

I am not skinny but I am quite thin and I hate it because no matter how much I eat I never really gain a significant amount of weight. Thank god I don't have a tummy though because that would just get on my nerves. Once I graduate I plan on excersizing religiously because that's probably my last attempt to see if it's going to have an effect on my weight.

I calculated my BMR, how do I know if it's low or normal or high? Are there any ranges?

Thanks,

No standard ranges were given for BMR. As i have mentioned there are many factors which determine the BMR. (http://instruct1.cit.cornell.edu/Courses/ns421/BMR.html)

BMR is the minimal caloric requirement needed to sustain life in a resting individual. This is the amount of energy your body would burn if you slept all day (24 hours)
