Metabolic Distribution Exercise
Thinking about human metabolism in terms of nominal distributions for activity, from reading this:

The stress of exercise causes a metabolic response to return to homeostasis. If your body is more capable of protein synthesis, rather than less capable, it will more capably use amino acids to "build muscle". So, some people will easily gain bigger muscles, and others, not so easy. Easy gainers versus hard gainers is a common refrain found in exercise / training literature.
Along similar logic lines, some people have naturally lower levels of insulin in their blood, and some higher. Some trigger the production of insulin faster rather than slower, some make more per unit time in response, versus less. Higher levels of insulin make it easier to gain muscle mass; lower, more difficult.
Hyperinsulinemia (too much insulin) is bad for you. Although hyperinsulinemia often has few clear indications, hyperinsulinemia symptoms may include:
I'll write about insulin resistance if I ever find anything articulate about it. Hyperinsulinemia is implicated, though, as are blood lipids. So far, not much to write about.
Autophagy is the process by which cells are "recycled" within the cell. Again, higher rates give you a newer fleet of cells; lower, older. I read somewhere that for a nominal human, maintaining weight, ingesting 70 grams of protein to "build new cells" compares to 200 grams of protein recycled via autophagy.
The Nobel Prize in 2016 for Physiology of Medicine went to Yoshinori Ohsumi, for his work on autophagy. This is rocket science, kids. Me, I'm trying this at home.

- Weight gain.
- Cravings for sugar.
- Intense hunger.
- Feeling frequently hungry.
- Difficulty concentrating.
- Feeling anxious or panicky.
- Lacking focus or motivation.
- Fatigue.
