Explain Like I'm Five @lemmy.world LadyButterfly she/her @piefed.blahaj.zone 2w ago ELI5... why do we have puppy fat as teenagers?
It takes a phenomenal amount of energy to grow the body, so the body will reserve energy supplies in anticipation of growth spurts.The biggest aspects are brain and skeletal development.A lot of people think that "getting pudgy" around age 24-27 is somehow the metabolism magically changing, but it's brain and body growth stopping.
