eli5: why is gaining weight so easy but losing weight so hard
In: 61
Some people are genetically predisposed to build muscle. To build muscle you need a lot of calories and also fat to protect your joints due to the weight of the muscle, as well as store energy for muscles. For these people, losing weight is hard because their body kicks into starvation mode very easily. Their body wants to be muscular, and muscles are heavy.
