I'm guessing you have a lot of built in exercise to your daily routine?

People who get fat aren't getting much exercise at all. Likely eating a shit diet while also taking 1000 or fewer steps per day.

It gets easier to gain weight as you age. What I don't get is how morbidly obese people stay huge. You'd have to continuously shovel 5000+ calories into your mouth to get there any maintain that diet. Wouldn't they puke?

pretty much eat highly processed food and very low activity. jacked up blood sugar/insulin resistance over time. never giving your body a break to reset and burn off that stored glycogen if they are shovelling slop 12+ hours a day. plus a ton of calories. do that for a few weeks and report back. pizza, cookies, ice cream, cake, chips. list goes on. and don't move. = bloatlord

You want a foundation of a shit diet with mostly carbs/sugars, and highly processed food.

Next, make sure you eat frequently to keep your insulin high as often as possible

Your first goal is insulin resistance which won't be a problem if you followed the diet correctly. From here on out it should be easy, just make sure you don't consume much protein or do a lot of exercise

By having zero self control. Most people who aren't fat either eat normal portions everyday. Or they eat big and massive a few days, then reel it back in a few days and it balances out.
