When i was 16, two of my friends went to study in america for a year or so. They went individually and didn't know eachother. One of them cam back obese and the other one was shredded and gained like 20kg.
I had a French roommate that put on 20 lbs while on a three month tourist visa. He was actually pretty skinny but he was nervous about flying back because he knew his friends/family would give him shit for putting on so much weight.
At the same time, in his last few weeks he wanted to hit every burger joint he could before leaving. He even tried Mountain Dew just because vegetable bromide is illegal there.
