sounds stupid probably, but why is it the bigger you are the fast weight comes off?

It takes more calories to run a body that is larger or denser.0

Each pound of muscle and each pound of fat needs calories just to maintain it. That's why when we eat at a deficit we lose weight (the fat/muscle needed more than we gave it). If a person is larger then they have more fat/muscle and those extra pounds require more calories to maintain.0
