Do skinny people get fat when they become older?

Question

Do fat people become skinny when they get older?

Answer 1

Only if they loose their self discpline, start eating badly and stop exercising

Answer 2

Age only has to do with weight gain or loss if the person isn't taking proper care of themselves. Thin people who take care of themselves, exercise, and eat right will not become fat just because they get older. And fat people RARELY get skinny without exercising and diet control.

Age, however, does cause your body to function differently and changes your metabolism, so as you age you need to pay attention to your body and its changing needs and adjust your exercise levels and food intake accordingly. A teenager may be able to pack away a Big Mac every day and not gain any weight, but a 30+ year old will probably see a big portion of that Big Mac sticking around on the hips, thighs, and belly!

Answer 3

Sometimes.

Metabolisms can change for both sexes so you no longer burn the food that you have always eaten (I've heard people say that they haven't changed their eating habits).

If you are a woman, many times having a baby changes your body shape & chemistry. And depending on how old you are talking about, menopause can really slow down the metabolism because your hormones completely change.

For me it was a problem between HS & college and "real life". I was an athlete, and in college you had to walk everywhere. When the real world hit, I was parked for the most part behind a computer (and others drive cars and sit all day, like salesmen). So I ballooned 25 lbs then too.

Answer 4

There is no such rule but Eat nourishing food with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables being part of it. Chew each morsel at least 32 times. This will activate signal to the brain as soon as u have had enough. Besides this change in eating style, take regular light exercises and brisk walks every day. U will be able to gain/shed all extra weight gracefully and in a reasonable time span.

Answer 5

As far that i'm concerned, it isn't always the case. Being thin or fat these days or later on depends on several factors including both heredity and the environment. It also depends on the emotional inside(usually stress decreases weight). Moreover, it depends on the way and type of food one eats. To me,i think one should eat healthy and all will be fine.

Answer 6

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!

Answer 7

As we age our metabolism goes down so we need to do things thatll increase it. Dont wait till the time comes. Eat right,jog,toning excercises. But will a fat person become skinny because their aging? No,itll be harder to lose.

Answer 8

it depends. Thin people at any age obviously have very fast metabolism's. As you get older you have to watch what you eat though, because your metabolism does slow with aging. But your not 100% guaranteed to be fat when your older. Exercise and watching what you eat helps you stay thin.

Answer 10

Sometimes, but not usually. Most people do gain some weight as they get older and their metabolism slows down.

Answer 11

I heard that if you manage your weight when your younger, as you grow (in height), you will become taller, and the "fat" will become more spred out amongst the body. Therefore you will become a little skinnier.
