No, like anything else, everyone's metabolism (and demons) are different. My mother has struggled with weight her entire life, and I have watched her eat like a bird since I was old enough to notice that sort of thing. Just a little over 2 months ago she took the plunge to cut out most carbs and specifically all gluten--and at the same time started allowing herself to eat as much as she wanted of what was left--and she has dropped 20 pounds already.
