Exercising off flab
I've heard that if the more overweight an individual is the faster they'd lose weight, same if they're short (I don't really understand how the short one applies though). This is my question: If an individual is not necessarily overweight but is pushing it, and has a lot of flab, would it be faster to lose the flab by means of a healthy diet and exercising, than a person who has a healthy weight?
- thanks =)

Hmm it's true that heavier people lose more weight than lighter people as they weigh more obviously, the height thing isn't really true you just notice weight loss more on a shorter person than on a taller person. The individual who is 'pushing it' is probably eat ingmore and exercising less than a person who is lighter than them generally (obviously there are exceptions like if they do lots of sports they may have muscle or they may just be naturally thin..), but my point is if you eat more, you can find it easier to cut out say 500 calories if you eat say 2000 a day whereas a thinner person may only eat 1500 already so would find it hard to change their diet; the same applies for exercise, if you exercise less then it's easier to increase your exercise whereas if you already exercise 45 minutes a day it would be a lot harder. Also if you have a 9 stone person and a 20 stone person, the 9 stone person can only lose 1-1/12 stone maximum within going anorexic so they have a limit making it a slower less effective process, the 20 stone person however can lose up to 12 1/2 stone so hasn't really got any limits so the process is a lot faster and more effective. I hope that helped a bit:)
