I have HIGH metabolism???????


Question: i want to gain weight but i cant i heard metabolism slows down at night but for me it still doesnt i can eat anything and nothing happens
Answers: enjoy it while you still have it.
stop exercising as much. it increases your metabolisim.
I don't know, but I just flagged that sob that posted first...
You can have some of my weight. Lol. I'd be happy to give it away.

Don't eat so often. I know that makes no sence probably, but instead of eating a lot of small meals eat big meals a few times a day. Maybe go like a day without eating anything and then go eat a lot the day after. I know that makes no sence, but what you want to do is throw off your metabolism so it stops working so much so quickly. Eat a lot of bread and things with carbs. Chocolate is pretty amazing too. Try not to be too active and get a lot of sleep. Eat before you sleep as well just not too much where you will get a sick stomach.

Good luck.
They do have weight gaining powders that you can add to juices or milk. Try looking into those. I too have a high metabolism and not matter what I do my weight goes no where. I have stopped exercising- didn't work, tried eating bigger meals-didn't work. The last resort my doctor said would be a weight gaining powder. You can get them at any natural food store or like a gym.
Don't worry as soon as you hit 30 it'll do a 180 on you and then you'll wish you had that high metabolism again.
I know how you feel... because I have fast metabolism and people calll me anorexic all the time

what I do is eat more fat foods and exercise less
it kinda works for me
Your body weight may be affected slightly by genetics, but that effect is not strong. Furthermore, I am convinced that inheriting a slow metabolic rate with a tendency to gain weight is not a flaw or defect but rather a genetic gift that can be taken advantage of. How is this possible? A slower metabolism is associated with longer life span in all species of animals. It can be speculated that if one lived sixty thousand or just a few hundred years ago, a slower metabolic rate might have increased our survival opportunity, since getting suffi- cient calories was difficult. For example, the majority of Pilgrims that arrived on our shores on the Mayflower died that first winter. They could not make or find enough food to eat, so only those with the genetic gift of a slow metabolic rate survived.

As you can see, it is not always bad to have a slow metabolic rate. It can be good. Sure, it is bad in today's environment of relentless eating and when consuming a high-calorie, low-nutrient diet. Sure, it will increase your risk of diabetes and heart disease and cancer, given today's food-consumption patterns. However, if correct food choices are made to maintain a normal weight, the individual with a slower metabolism may age more slowly.

Our body is like a machine. If we constantly run the machinery at high speed, it will wear out faster. Since animals with slower metabolic rates live longer, eating more calories, which drives up our metabolic rate, will cause us only to age faster. Contrary to what you may have heard and read in the past, our goal should be the opposite: to eat less, only as much as we need to maintain a slim and muscular weight, and no more, so as to keep our metabolic rate relatively slow. So stop worrying about your slower metabolic rate. A slower metabolic rate from dieting is not the primary cause of your weight problem. Keep these three important points in mind:

1. Resting metabolic rates do decline slightly during periods of lower caloric intake, but not enough to significantly inhibit weight loss.

2. Resting metabolic rates return to normal soon after caloric intake is no longer restricted. The lowered metabolic rate does not stay low permanently and make future dieting more difficult.

3. A sudden lowering of the metabolic rate from dieting does not explain the weight gain/loss cycles experienced by many overweight people. These fluctuations in weight are primarily from going on and getting off diets. It is especially difficult to stay with a reduced-calorie diet when it never truly satisfies the individual's biochemical need for nutrients, fiber, and phytochemicals.

Those with a genetic tendency to overweight may actually have the genetic potential to outlive the rest of us. The key to their successful longevity lies in their choosing a nutrient-rich, fiber-rich, lowercalorie diet, as well as getting adequate physical activity. By adjusting the nutrient-per-calorie density of your diet to your metabolic rate, you can use your slow metabolism to your advantage. When you can maintain a normal weight in spite of a slow metabolism, you will be able to achieve significant longevity.
