The fidget factor in weight control.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Tina Juan
SOMEONE in my aerobics class can eat whatever she wants and not gain weight. She exercises religiously like all her gym friends but the difference is she can eat high-calorie food all day long while her classmates, myself included, have to watch what they eat. If she weren't so darn nice, we would all hate her.
I know someone else who eats ice cream and chocolates every day and does not exercise. He isn't skinny but he isn't fat either. If I ate what he did, I would easily be 10 pounds overweight despite working out every day.
If you have to sweat it out and count your calories to maintain your weight, you must be wondering what secret formula these people have to get away with eating so much without putting on the pounds.
Exercise scientists have been asking the same question and one of the answers they found is that people who can eat a lot without gaining much weight despite not exercising are usually "fidgeters."
