Try reproducing the "supersize me" documentary results. If you cannot reproduce the results, then there is something strange in your genetics.

Yes, healthy people gain weight on 5,000 calorie per day diets. No, they don't develop all the metabolic and psychological maladies described in the documentary.

At this point (didn't know then) we already know there are some strange genetics. Over the past 10 both myself and all of my siblings have been diagnosed with various immune diseases.
I'm now almost 40 years old and have never been overweight a day in my life. Over the past 20 years my weight has always stayed within about a 15 pound range no matter how much/little I ate and/or exercised.
I participated in a caloric intake study at one point in time and I had a higher caloric intake than anyone in the study group. I was not trying to eat more; it was just that until I hit my mid 20s I had to consume excessive quantities of food just to keep from losing weight.
