I am 81 and don't exercise at all.

Try a 3 day fast and get a real feeling for hunger pains then imagine someone that has that feeling all the time whether he is eating or not. May give you a little more appreciation for those that seem unable to control their appetite. We make no attempt to determine why people that do not have a weight control problem seem to do nothing but just answer nature and still their weight remains normal. Most of those people imagine they just have superior control of their lives and intellect which accounts for heir self control. Fact is most people of normal weight make no conscious effort to control their weight at all, it just happens. Maybe we should wonder why?

Talk to people who jumped on the Phen-Fen train, they will tell you they did absolutely nothing to adjust their eating habits, it just came naturally and for the first time they felt like any other normal weighted person. We have no clue why that worked but it did. Needs more investigation but not likely to happen.

When I joined the army when I was 16, I weighed 107 pounds when I got out 3 years later I weighed 124 and still wore the same uniforms I was issued even if a little tight around the waist.

Be thankful you are able to keep a normal weight.

Look into insulin resistance as a factor in obesity and diabetes. Pretty interesting stuff. Try a guy on YouTube Butter Bob Biggs.
