What can i do to slow down my metabolism?

Shark Atack Asked by funadvice over 2 years ago, 38 answers.

I'm 14 I weigh about 118 and about 58 and really thin. I'm trying to gain weight but my metabolism is like too fast so it's hard. Are there any pills that can slow it down? Or would exercising and gaining muscle be a faster way to gain weight?

Exercising,.. is a big way not to slow it down.. I do alot of lifting .. and Even know muscle does weigh more than fat, Anyway thats not going to help slow down your metabolism.. Thats A Natural Thing that happens.. if you want .. Um.. well i use stuff you can buy at a walgreens or gnc Clinic .. you maybe able to buy it other places.. but its called weay Protien.. and the protien helps build muscle.. but you have to work out i would not recommend it for you everyday.. but def try and use it 2x a week,.. i think there are such pills to slow it down.. but its not good for you.. Hope this helps

i disagree w/ just about everyone!! you do need to work out but not much cardio enough to raise your hart rate !! mostly waights to gain pounds!! im 23 5'10 and 120 lbs i just started training and this is what i have been told also try to eat 3 good meals aday snack in between on things like nuts with good fatty oils !!! the shakes are good to like 870 cal per serving but you are young so take it easy on that stuff try to go to your local gym and talk to a trainer that is the best thing you can do!!!

im not really a poser it just looks like it here Answered by philly55 on Sep 06, 2007, 10:35AM

If u look on the internet at some health supplyers u can get weight gainers with upto 3000 calories in each one a day plus ur usual meals and if u dont put weight on uv probably got a dissorder, iv just been checked for a hyperactive thyroid i suggest u do that too, i did have one so im the shakes and weightlifting, ur too young to worry about it now tho cos u wont stop growing til ur at least 18, im 21 and have just started doing something about it now good luck

U KNOW!! Answered by buffstuff2k7 on Feb 06, 2008, 03:34PM

the best way to gain weight is to eat 5-6 times a day, snackin in between on any thing you can get your hands on. if your going to excersice go heavy and less reps, NO CARDIO!! Get urself a protein it take it 2x daily it's a lil expensive but the payoff is worth it. also you gotta eat a lot of carbs as well and eat when your NOT hungry! Strech your stomach and get everything you can into it!

I am 21 years old, I'm 5'2 and I weigh 125 lbs. I want to be 135. Some say I'm a decent weight but if your unhappy with yourself go for it. I tried this weight gaining drink and its called Perfect 3000. It works!! I gained 10lbs and It looked healthy and natural.It works best when mixed with milk.

Well first of all relax and thank God for the body that you have which some peope would kill for. No one is shaped the same! Ok and listen to me...NEVER EVER take not working out as advice. You are young and working out is good for every human being. Protein shakes do slow down the metabolism and can make you put on weight and increase appetite especially at your age. The most important thing to remember is that confidence is everything! If you aren't already, try out for volleyball, basketball, soccer, hey even look into modeling. I am 5'8 and 125lbs and was always picked up by modeling agencies. I played volleyball in middle school and High School and got up t 135 and I was on protein shakes.Personally I felt big! I didn't feel skinny when I was at that size b/c's I was so use to being smaller. I am happy with my weight now but sports can help you tone up and put on some pounds. While we don't have the typical cheerleading body(sorry God didn't clone his creation!) he did give you a models body. Remember confidence is key!!!

Wow, well I am almost 23, 5'7, and I weight 100 on a good day, meaning that usually I am below 100, somewhere between 97 and 99. I am trying everything I can! Protein shakes, looots of food, snacks, I am not doing a lot of cardio work. I eat a big meal to the point that it gets hard to breath and then I am hungry in 40 minutes. And I eat again. I am super skiny. My size is the same as it was when I was 14 (I still have a skirt I bought almost 9 years ago and it fits). So it seems I can only hope that may be in 10 years, when I have a kid I'll be slightly bigger happy Hopefully...

one way to slow down your metabolism is starving urself..and you don't want to do that because want to gain weight. just eat a lot of foods high in protein and carbohydrates. and do not disregard exercise. just don't do weights yet. your only 14 do weights when your about 17 or 18. cardio exercise, and some push ups will do. its better to gain weight with muscles than with fats.. right??

Answered by gradez3r0 on Jul 03, 2008, 07:40PM

ggdghd- LOOK AT THE QUESTION! They want to GAIN weight, not lose it.

Eat very slowly. Eating fast means your body will digest fast, and it can't process the fatties and proteins, which speeds up your metabolism. So eat slow to prevent that.

And if you really want to get pricy, try the new P90X system.

hey pipz? I am also skinny and I also have fast metabolism. I also use much of my time studying lessons during school days. but as I noticed that a couple of years ago, while having my long month vacation from schooling..I started to gain weight - a little..because I'm worry-free from my lessons, I took vitamin with iron, and I have enough time for rest during the day and enough sleep for the night. vitamin intake especially those with iron or even vitamin C,makes you gain your appetite because after an hour or two, you'll soon be hungry and so you'll be wanting to eat..again. but' I'm still skinny 'til now because it is again school days..
In Jesus Name.. So Help Us God.
