Slower metabolism

I am 5’2 and my weight fluctuates between 115-120 lbs. Where this may seem normal for my height, I am not happy. I eat any and everything, all day, right before bed, you name it. I cannot gain weigh though. How do I slow down my metabolism or are there any other weight gain options?

Answer #1

You are on the high side of normal for your height. Consider an exercise program to help you tone your muscles and maybe cause you to eat more.

How to GAIN weight?

First, determine from the information below, what your weight should be. Then set yourself goals of a week, 2 weeks, a month, 3 months, 6 months and a year. As you see yourself meeting your goals it becomes easier.

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measurement of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both men and women between the ages of 18 and 65 years.

BMI Classification

18.5 or less Underweight
18.5 to 24.99 Normal Weight
25 to 29.99 Overweight
30 to 34.99 Obesity (Class 1)
35 to 39.99 Obesity (Class 2)
40 or greater Morbid Obesity

Check out your BMI at the bmi calculator site below to see where you stand.

If you need conversion info, 1 kg = 2.2 pounds and 2.54 cm = 1 inch (12 inches = 1 foot)
