Europe versus US

[Blight]

For some people their expiration date happens when they hit 25. I have one uncle who didn't have any problems till he was in his 40s. That's one great thing about all these different nationalities and genetic histories mixing up in the US; it's just about impossible to come up with a blanket statement that covers everyone (except for basic things like "everyone needs to breathe air to live").

Yeah, it is different for a lot of people. I'd like to say I am already there, but I won't because a lot of other factors went in to when I had my huge jump in weight. From my junior year of high school, i gained almost 45 lbs till the end of my senior year. A lot of it was weight lifting, increasing your bench over 100 lbs in less than nine months is going to add weight, but once I quite lifting it got bad. I had an ass load of stress when I worked at the pharmacy. My boss was a, well just too many cuss words. I gained 25 lbs working there. I got up to my fattest; 225. But I quit there, and dropped to 200 again. And there I have been for like a year. I hardly ever eat out though, too damn cheap to.

So anyway, I think the amount of stress in your life can cause weight gain and kill the benefits of a fast metabolism, but it is just my thoughts.
