There is some element of truth to the whole metabolism thing
My Mrs, for example, burns calories like nobody's business, and if not provided with about seven meals a day will lose weight overnight.

I, on the other hand, have to do more exercise than she does to get the lard off. I also don't faint if not fed regularly.

However, it has to get into the system first - so if I eat crap and drink too much, I'll be a fat knacker unless I burn it off.

So folks, if you have a 'slow' metabolism, get fucking sweating unless you want to look like Mr Creosote. Or eat less shite, it's up to you.

And that's about it for metabolism. It can only burn what gets shoved down the gullet, irrespective of how 'fast' your metabolic rate is.

Another 'get-out-of-jail-free-it-isn't-my-fault-wot-abaht-my-rights' card for the terminally hard of thinking.
