I know your a smart dude .. you seem very intellectual but for real do some research its still a debated topic but I think actual science is on the side of the high metabolism myth side .. an avg person with an avg lifestyle burns the avg amount of calories your suppose to ingest a day so its a wash ... it takes around 3000-3500 extra calories not burned to start the process of putting on a single pound ... but that's an avg person someone with bulk could burn 3000 calories a day before they hit the gym or sit on the couch so you have to consume that to keep up or eat even more to put on some more muscle or fat

As you get older your metabolism naturally decreases which should be common sense but curving that with a protein rich diet ( your body uses 30% more enegry to break down protein then a simple carb ) will lead to a large plunge at some point ...

You'll find fact based info that speeding up your metabolism is bad for a life plan, for a simple diet to cut a few summer pounds is good but winter weight comes back ... why do you think ephedrine was banned by the fda for use as a " dietary supplement " because it make the metabolism and heart rate curve so much people were dropping dead from heart attacks

Portion control that's Americas downfall .. no human should be able to stomach a double quarter pounder large fry and coke but millions do a day sometimes more then once ... if you could control your portions try to hit a good bit of what's on the food pyramid and worked out or had an active lifestyle your stomach would shrink inside and you'll feel amazing outside, your metabolism will topple off to wear it should be naturally decrease with age as planned and you can have a longer natural life expectancy ... if your just trying to bulk up then protein is the way to go and its a slow process but you have to sustain your protein to keep that muscle or your body will take what it needs from those muscles ... Which is my whole point of too much protein is terrible for a life plan

Ohh and I've lost 49 lbs in 6 months and haven't seen a gym in 3 years every week i lose at least a lb or two .. all real weight no fads, supplements or special diets ... just portion control and active life with my daughter outside of work
