I really don't want to sound like I'm body shaming or causing body dysmorphia, but I've noticed that when I see some gainers posting their pictures, they don't seem very ... natural?

The most common might be them having one giant bulging belly but super skinny arms and legs. That can't be healthy, right?

But things are always different if the individual is already obese or overweight in their younger years, after their weight gain, their fat will always appear more like it's distribute evenly throughout their body.

Does this only have to do with genetics and adolescence (since your adipose tissue wouldn't change their numbers after you're around 20)?

When you pack on a lot of weight very quickly, it often kinda just ... concentrates. I am not sure why. I'll have to research it. But over time, the weight kinda ... settles and spreads.

Wannabeablob:
High sugar and carb diets, sugar and carbs tend to settle as belly fat more than anything else

Bigdoug:
The original post/question does not sit well with me. Everyone who gains weight or gets fat (because they want to) has a perfect body and looks great! Just because you don’t like a certain body type does not mean that this person does not carry their weight well!

SumoSized:
That's honestly half the reason I still exercise while trying to gain weight. My fat distribution definitely favors my belly but I want a more rounded figure all over so I use muscle mass to fill in holes in my physique. It's definitely paid off because I'm starting to get more stretch marks on my inner legs and butt. And I've had stretch marks on my arms since before I started gaining fat and only gained muscle mass
