The world is affected¹ by an obesity² epidemic³, but why is it that not everyone is succumbing⁴? Medical science has been obsessed⁵ with this subject and is coming up with some unexpected answers. As it turns out, it is not all about exercise and diet. At the center of this programme is a controversial overeating experiment that aims to identify exactly what it is about some people that makes it hard for them to bulk up.

小编：一群瘦子每天摄入5000卡，混吃等死了四个礼拜。试验结束再体检，逆天的检查结果是有人基础代谢率提升了30%，热量都长肌肉了！专家总结道这种种族优势是遗传的~对这个瘦子吃不胖的世界绝望了~大家也都想要吃东西长肌肉的基因吧！
