7 Secrets of Naturally Thin People :

Sep 11, 2007

You hate them.

You know the type... The ones who never bat an eyelash when it comes time to order lunch or dinner. Ask them how much they weigh, and they probably can't even tell you -- they don’t know. Question them about calorie count and you’re likely to be answered with a blank stare.

They are the men and women who don’t give weight-watching a second thought. And that's the very reason they’re at a happy, healthy weight . They are naturally thin people -- the enemy to anyone who’s ever battled extra pounds.
