Gaining

Regain

I too, have heard the theroy that fat cells merely shrink and truely never go away. Here in the States we constantly hear about "yo-yo" dieters, who loose weight only to go off their diets and gain it all back and more. Also, as you age, your metabolism slows down and gaining weight is easier. I am pretty old and personally can attest to this in my twenties and thirtis, I excerized regularly and pretty much could eat anything I wanted to and not gain. Later in life, that was not the case, while I still excercised, I had to cut back on many "treats" I used to eat/take for granted. You should be ablet to gain more weight pretty easily.

Whenever I've dropped weight and gained it back it always flies back on. I'm talking what took years to gain the first place, then a couple of years to take off, comes back in 6-10 months.
