I think FFBs (and FFGs) are those of us who grew up fat as opposed to putting on the weight later in life. My understanding is that if you grow up overweight, your body develops the fat cells early and keeps them in various states of, well, swelling or shrinkage whereas if you gain weight later in life, your body is already predisposed to having fewer fat cells and can therefore shed weight a little more easily (slower metabolism notwithstanding). That's not to say the information isn't relevant to anyone who wants to lose weight--I'm a HYOOGE proponent of cyclical ketogenic diets for anyone; after all, our bodies are made for that kind of diet, but I digress. Hope you get some good stuff from it. Me, I'm doing all I can to fight the good fight, but I may be giving myself a birthday present of some minor cosmetic surgery in a few years because there are just some areas that aren't going to budge
