Great quote, but I think the focus of the high metabolism in the research is mainly around the 9-15 months old period and so a sudden and dramatic weight chance in the twenties might be related to some other shift. This part of the article shows the effect over time, which is much less as time goes on: "Children’s metabolic rates stay high until age 5, but the rate slowly begins to glide down until it plateaus around age 20. Interestingly, adult rates are stable until age 60, when they begin to decline."
