Do people really talk about their metabolism that much? Or are some people just so self-conscious about their weight and eating habits that they place particular weight on those comments such that they appear to be more frequent than they actually are?
I got a lot of comments about my weight and eating habits when I was young, so ‘fast metabolism’ was an easy way out of the conversation even if it wasn’t true.
I feel like that’s a loaded term but I do know people who are going to have a rough awakening when they get older. (i.e. they won’t be able to eat like they used to without feeling/seeing it).
What a helpful response!
Gee, I’m sure glad I came to the comments to quell my confusion.
Have you never met somebody with a fast metabolism?

Or did some people’s parents unconsciously internalize it in them as a child? Or am I projecting?
