Remember when you complained to your parent(s) that “that’s not fair”………

And they’d reply with “Life’s not fair”?

It’s true.

It’s not.

Things don’t automatically happen or not because it’s “right” or “wrong”.

“Fair” or not.

Sometimes things are fair.

Sometimes they’re not.

And sometimes we think they aren’t when they, in fact, are.

It’s tempting to think when we’re struggling to lose weight that we have a “bad metabolism”.

That someone else has a better one than us.

Our “friend who can eat anything and not gain weight”.

What we mean when we say our metabolism is usually the number of calories we can consume and lose, maintain or gain weight.

And the research shows that the vast majority of that is down to our body size and composition and activity levels.

Completely fair.

And the research shows that the differences in calorie requirements outside of that are minimal.

Usually within +/- 80 calories per day.

Ie: The person with the “bad” metabolism would lose weight if they just ate (at the very most) 160 calories less per day than the otherwise matched “good” metabolism person.

But the real kicker with this one is that there is no average correlation between those variations and weight.

Ie: It’s equally likely that the “bad” metabolism person is lean and the “good” metabolism person is overweight as the other way around.

So, from a weight loss perspective, at least, life is actually pretty fair.

And, as in all areas, even if it’s not, we can only play the hand we’re dealt.
