    Hey Doug, great find on this study from the BBC. Not much of a sample size, but it’s interesting that they managed to find volunteers. Some interesting theories regarding the results.

    I was naturally thin as an adolescent and up until I was 21 when I became ill and had to go on prednisone to live. It caused me to gain weight and I’ve had a weight problem every since. The doctor said my metabolism was “ruined” However, according to this documentary my fat cells got bigger. So has my body then adjusted to this bigger size?
