Q: Help! My friend can eat anything and not gain weight, but I have to watch everything I eat like a hawk, even though I work out all of the time. Why is her metabolism so much faster than mine?
A: Every woman has one of “those” friends. Despite never lifting a weight or stepping into a gym, she can eat an entire pizza without gaining a pound. But here’s the real deal. Chances are that your friend is young enough that her metabolism is running in high gear, but soon enough her garbage dump eating style and sedentary habits will catch up to her. By working out and eating clean, you’ll age much more healthfully because you have muscle that will maintain an elevated metabolism as you get older. So stop comparing yourself to others and make that next workout your best ever!
