What can i do to slow down my metabolism?

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?

try visit some sites regarding metabolism.. like this site. http://www.ehow.com/how_4541102_slow-down-metabolism.html

Assuming you all want to gain weight (do so only after 18 years of age)...Whey protein is a great way to do this. However, weight lifting is also necessary...and you need to lift as much weight as you can (low repetitions). Have a whey protein shake immediately after your workout and be sure to get plety of rest. Your muscle fibres will repair best during a good sleep. Also, some people like to have another shake before bed which contains a slow-release protein. Basically this type of protein forms a gel in your stomach and gives you little shots of protein all through the night.

I'm 16, around 6'1, and weigh around 155, although I am this height it looks very unhealthy and unnatural, I'm lanky and skinny, I want to get up to at least 170, I'm currently going to the gym been going for a solid month or so and got my arms from 9 to 12, but they still looks fairly skinny. I can bench around 135; max only do once. while my older brother weighs 155 and is the same height as me can bench 205; but hes been working out a lot more, and he looks like he weighs a lot more then me, any help?

I would say dont try. im 26 and have had the same problem all my life. I weigh 10 stone 2oz and have done since I was 16-17.

if you got a high metabolism your screwed untill you get older and iit slows down by itself. I tried every fat fast diet I could find and nothing worked. the over the counter stuff really is pants and costs a fortune over time.

as for whey protien thet one of the guys above mentioned, well thats gotta be one of the worst ways to try to put on weight. whey protein is for use when training. its to help repair the muscles faster once you have finished your training session. so if your not going to a gym and lifting then there is no use using protein.

also if your lifting weights be sure to use a light weight and do more reps rather than less reps with more weight. I learned the hard way that heavy weights cause tall slim people great problems.

I made the mistake of using heavy weights and my lung collapsed. collapsed lungs are a common occurance in tall slim people (mostly male).

when this happened I recieved some advice from a dietition. to gain weight you do not need to slow down your metabolism. you have to beat it.

eat at every given moment, even if you dont feel hungry. just eat for the sake of it. add grated cheese to soups, and if you drink milk add 3-4 tbsp of dried milk into the mix also. but the main thig you have to do is over eat. if your metabolism is burning too fast then you gotta make it work hard. if you consume more than it can handle then you are guarenteed to gain weight.

the only way which I havent tried but I know would be a dead cert to put on weight would be to use steroids. but who the hell wants to be a water filled bag of anger? not me.

so in conclusion. your screwed unless you eat more and often. if you want to discuss thingw with me you can add me on msn. Fun mail me I can tell you the things I've tried and what has worked and what never. and I've tried A LOT. hope this helps.

Look I was 5'11 at 135 now im at 158, almost 160 just in a few months, the secret is to eat, sleep and exercise well. be dedicated and be true to your self. If you miss a day of working out your only cheating yourself. dont stay up to late because your body develops the most when you sleep. eat a lot of protein in fish and steak. if you want to boost up quickly then I suggest mass XXX (a protein shake). Its possible, just be dedicated and have the desire to be the best in anything you do.

(DO More than the expected! Over 100% tis the unexpected.)

ok guys, all I can say is that im 16 and I am 145lbs. I am trying to gain weight. I started off at 110 lbs last year. I have been working out very hard and I can bench my body weight. I have absolutly no exessive fat on my body.

1st. If you wanna gain weight...EAT EVERY 2-3 HOURS.

2nd. Eat AT LEAST YOUR BODYWEIGHT GRAMS OF PROTEIN PER DAY (If you weigh 120..eat 120 grams per day)

3rd. After Each workout, take WEIGH PROTEIN. (its completly natural)

4th. DO NOT OVER TRAIN. Train 3 times per week.
(mon. chest and triceps...wed. back and biceps...fri. legs and shoulders)

I'm 20, 5'8 and am 107 pounds...u'll be fine =)

Well, I am 22 years old and 115 pounds - plus very fine boned. my arms are the same width as I was in primary school, and every time I put on 2 or 3 pounds it drops off me again. You know, I read a site on hyperactive thyroid and there are a lot of people undiagnosed with it, you should talk to your doctors thats what I'm gonna do, in the mean time when you feel full try and eat that little bit more, your appetite will eventually grow if you keep doing this. I have got the knowledge it's just I don't practice what I preach lol..

I used to be really thin 6'1 147 lbs. but I tried this one guy's weight lifting program for skinny guys and it's working good so far. After 3 months I'm up to 169 pounds. I'm still thin, but 29 lbs. has made a difference in the way I look. Check it out http://www.buildmusclesfast.com.

Hope this helps

I am 31 and have weighed 102-115 all my life. I now have a 2yr old and a 1 yr old, and am 105 at 5'8. I feel horrible. I have customers at work asking my co workers if I have cancer. People are so cruel.The only time I weighed more was when I was drinking alcohol at age 23-28, and I was 126 and looked great, but I wouldnt recommend drinking to put on weight, just finding another source of the extra calories. Now its hard because having kids so young that need constant attention, I dont have time to make myself something to eat other than a bowl of cereal. I have just purchased the Perfect 3000 on Cheapvitamins.com and am waiting for it to be delivered. Anyone have any advice on how often to take it?? I was thinking before bed because even those Ensure drinks fill me up and have to force myself to eat my next meal...

im 20 6'1 and I weigh 145 lbs. I want to gain weight but everything I try I just keep losing weight. any ideas? if any ideas just email me at Fun mail me because I wont remember how to get back here. thanks everybody

I don't know. what you can do to slo down your met. but im 6'3 and 165 I was 150. I learned from a trainer to eat 6xs a day lots of carbs, good carbs like rice or pasta. brown rice is better for you umm a also take high carb. protein 3xs a day and workout 4-5 times a week it has been good so far you just have to be dedicated. I've gained 15lbs in 6 months.

I'm 15 and 175 standing 6 feet and I was trying to gain and still am the best way is to eat a lot of protien and meat. And work out. Try protien bars and shakes like muscle milk and the one with 60gs of protien. Even though they taste like shit keep drinking up to 3 a day before after and during workout. But and overload of protein turns into fat.
