The Man Who Can't Get Fat:

Mr Perry, 59, can eat whatever he likes - including unlimited pies, burgers and desserts - and never get fat. He cannot put on weight because of a condition called lipodystrophy that makes his body rapidly burn fat.

He used to be a chubby child, but at age 12 the fat dropped off "almost over night". He initially tried to eat more to gain weight, but it had no effect. Mr Perry, of Ilford in Essex, endured a decade of tests before the illness was diagnosed. It finally emerged that his body produces six times the normal level of insulin. Doctors have admitted that the condition would be a "slimmer's dream".

Damn I'm really shocked. shocked Here I hardly eat anything and tend to put on weight.

My situation is not as drastic, but I have a condition called Marfan's which also tends to make it difficult to put on weight. Even though I look scrawny, like a skeleton, my BMI is actually up to par.

I don't eat much at any rate to begin with tho... Would love to know from other MFS sufferers who has a more active diet...

It does sound like a good problem to have to me, too. I have a terrible time losing weight. I am on a medication that makes it very difficult to lose weight and that causes weight gain.

Here's some information on Lipodystrophy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipodystrophy

In reading this, it doesn't really sound like the same thing, but maybe there are varying degrees of the disease.
