Some People Eat Everything and Do Not Get Fat
There is no single standard: growth, eye color, skin tone and many other physical attributes of our appearance are genetically programmed. The same applies to addition - there are at least three types of addition, commonly known as asthenics, normostenics, and hypersthenics.
“Why do some people eat everything and do not get fat, while others are on diets, doing sports, but still fat?”
Asthenics are light, thin-boned, with a thin, almost imperceptible fat layer. It is difficult for them to recover, but it is easy to lose weight, they are not recovering, but they also gain muscle mass with difficulty. Normostenics have well-developed muscles and a fatty layer and are quite easy to recover and lose weight. Hypersthenics have a developed fat layer, it is difficult for them to lose weight, they are often prone to fullness.
About 40% of our weight is programmed genetically, it is impossible to change it, and it is unreasonable to fight genetics. There is the concept of “set point” - our weight fluctuates throughout life within 3-5 kg, but remains approximately at the same level if we are healthy. Moreover, everyone has a different metabolism: quite often, in asthenics and normostenics, the metabolism is fast, “burning” any food excesses, and in hypersthenics, on the contrary, it is slow.

It is important to learn to accept the body given by nature, rather than trying to achieve unrealistic thinness
However, due to the modern cult of thinness, many are trying to maintain weight below their own physiological norm through diets and exhausting workouts. This does not lead to success - dietary “swings” are formed when, for example, for several months a woman weighs the desired 55 or 60 kg, and the rest of the time she is overweight and struggling with bouts of overeating. The latter is the result of dietary restrictions, and not a consequence of weak will, as is commonly believed.
Diets shift the set point up, and if before after heavy meals on holidays or all inclusive holidays, the weight easily returned to the previous level, then after each experienced diet it will stop at a mark higher than usual.

Unfortunately, the diet industry is actively supporting the illusion "your body can be anything," thus promoting obsessive, compulsive weight loss and debilitating physical activity.
The experience of working with people who are professionally engaged in fitness has shown me that they very rarely look like in the photo before the competition — perhaps two or three days, no more. The rest of the time they are occupied with the struggle with eating disorders and body image, as well as with the physical consequences of hyperload - edema, trauma, and hormonal cycle disorders.
Therefore, you need to properly evaluate your own constitution and set point, to avoid any dietary restrictions on food that are not prescribed by your doctor. It is important to learn to accept the body given by nature, and not to try to achieve unrealistic thinness.
