say someone gains 10 pounds in like 2-3 weeks. is it easier for him to shed those 10 pounds because he gained the weight from eating too much in a short period of time. verses someone who has gained weight gradually for years

Fat is fat, so I think it will take the same amount of effort and time to get rid of fat accumulated in 3 weeks and fat accumulated in 3 years.

depends on that person's metabolism - the luckyer ones shed the fat faster than the other but that shouldn't stop you from working hard even if you're in the second category.. just try to speed up your metabolism using cardio
