Expert Answer
It is true that some people remain thin how much ever they eat. This may be due to the one of the following reasons:
- Appetite has a genetic basis
- Age, weight and diet of the mother during pregnancy influences the child's weight
- Eating habits influence the weight. Thin people avoid excess calories instinctively
- Basal metabolic rate plays a strong role in energy expenditure
- The feeling of hunger is related to the number of fat cells
- The number of fat cells can grow but never diminish
