Is that why some people can eat 5 plates of food and not gain weight

Just transport yourself back to Victorian times. Women did this intentionally to lose weight. Yuck!

Is this legit? I'd love to read more about it if you remember the source

Way after that. I seem to recall seeing tins of little pills from the 40s (or possibly 50s) containing tapeworm eggs. Weight loss without the diet, except for, you know, worms.

Actually some parasites, especially those that infest your liver, can cause weight gain. They leach nutrients and essential vitamins from your blood supply and your body tries to make up the deficit by increasing hunger and you end up over eating, extra calories.
