get some high protein stuff like "boost" or "ensure" and drink those. also get some "protein shakes" that are like powder and can mix with milk and stuff to make weight gaining drinks. or just eat a ton of food all the time. i have and incredibly fast metabalism and im incredibly skinny even though i eat more than everyone i know... but to gain weight, those protein and calorie drinks are good stuff.

You speed up your metabolism the same way everybody else in the world has to,  exercise.  There is no easy way to do it.  Everybody always wants a no effort soloution.

Bets,\n\nA part of the reason why you gained weight is because your metabolism slowed down.  This is typical of college students (going from teens to 20s).\n\nJust bump up your cardio to burn off what you drink.\nLift weights to make your body denser.

diet and exercise.  It won't be quick but it will work.  Fast weight loss ruins your metabolism and makes it harder to lose weight.  If you lose it too fast it will likely be gained right back also.  Good luck.

Eat smaller portions of food more often throughout the day. Picture this: Eat 5 smaller meals a day, which would add up less than the food you would eat regularly. This is the most natural way of speeding up metabolism. Easier way to do so would be the help of supplements but I would advise not to since these pills would totally mess up your metabolism in the long run, and it only works for the duration you take these pills.\n\nIf you want to speed up your metabolism in order to burn more fat, cardiovascular exercises and weight training is another solution.

Well, if you don't realize by now that your metabolism has something to do with it, then you have a problem (lol-just kidding around a little)\n\nMyself? I think the answer is "LUCK- PURELY LUCK!!"  What else could explain why some people have fast metabolisms and others don't. Ok, maybe a little genetics thrown in, too.

How To Gain Weight \n\n\n\nThis one seems like a no-brainer, eh? How do you gain weight? You eat. You cannot gain weight without eating... in the exact opposite of losing weight, actually, you cannot gain weight without consuming more calories than you burn off. \n\nThe bigger question, in our weight-loss worshipping world, is why would you want to gain weight? Fact is that sometimes we become too thin, dangerously so, to the point where we begin to suffer all these negative side effects and eventually death. Sometimes gaining weight is a pretty attractive option by comparison. Being at a healthy weight helps every system of our body function better, allows us to heal from damage, and gives us reserves as protection against stress or illness as well. \n\nThe tougher part of weight-gain is how to do it in a healthy manner. Just as rapid weight-loss can be dangerous, so can rapid weight gain. Many EDs who go through rapid recovery end up with too high a bodyfat percentage, too much fat stored around their internal organs, compromised health, and high cholesterol. This is in part because traditional anorexic "recovery" diets are aimed at bulking up the patient as quickly as possible by fat-loading everything they eat with no thought for the health quality of the food being given. \n\nIt's safer to aim for a gain of one or two pounds a week so as to not put undue stress on your recovering system and to know that you're rebuilding bone, muscle, and nutrient stores instead of just frantically storing fat. It's more important to restore your body's protein, elemental, vitamin, water, fat and sugar balances than to simply send the numbers on the scale up. Once you do this, given sufficient raw materials your body will rebuild itself more strongly. \n\n\n \nIn The Beginning\n\nIf you're deciding to gain weight, odds are it's because you're underweight. If you're underweight, barring a purely illness-related weight-loss problem which should really be addressed by a doctor instead, you have probably not been eating enough. If you haven't been eating enough for a while, your digestive system will need to be retrained. Same goes for extended or extensive purging... it screws with your entire system, and there will need to be plenty of time devoted to patience and healing. \n\nExtended periods of time with insufficient solid food intake causes your entire digestive system to slow down and lose efficiency. Amounts of digestive chemicals in production may drop, and the tiny fingerlike cilia that absorb foods in your small intestine may become paralyzed or die off. The peristaltic muscles that move food through your system may weaken or atrophy. Large meals or a lot of food at once may confuse your stomach and intestines to the point where they cramp up and have trouble remembering what to do at all. All this will need to be repaired slowly, given time to reaccustom itself to the concept of processing and utilizing food again. \n\nStart with liquids. Rehydration is extremely important, since without food our overall water content drops significantly, and the digestive process requires a great deal of water. In the first few days of refeeding you may notice a sudden gain of several pounds... this is most likely, if you're doing everything right, your water balance trying to straighten itself out. You may feel bloated for a while as this happens and it's extremely important that you allow it to take care of itself and do not try to correct it with diuretics; limiting caffeine, which acts as a diuretic, may be a good idea here. Potassium can also act as a mild diuretic but do not try to limit that, as it's an important electrolyte and part of rehydration is bringing your electrolytes back up to a good strong level. You may benefit more from drinking water and juice between meals, instead of with meals, as liquids during meals can make your stomach feel fuller and may slow digestion a bit.

Gain Weight Step 1 - eating!\n\nEating is the first and most important factor that is needed to gain weight. It's simple - you need to eat more calories than you burn. This does not mean eating anything and everything that is not nailed down. Carefully plan your meals with foods that will help you gain lean mass, not fat. I suggest 6 meals. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and three other small meals scheduled throughout the day. The goal is to eat every 2.5 to 3 hours.\n\nFocus on foods such as steak, chicken, fruit, milk, vegetables, cheese and assorted types of nuts. It's recommended to eat 4 - 6 pieces of fresh fruit a day, and at least four tall glasses of milk. Milk is a great, cheap protein source - take advantage of it. A sample snack meal would be a glass of milk, an apple, and a hand full of peanuts.\n\nGain Weight Step 2 - lifting!\n\nAs stated, proper eating is of utmost importance when attempting to gain weight, but if you do not lift weights, the majority of that gained weight will be fat - not muscle.\n\nWhen trying to gain weight, I suggest working out three times a week. You need to lift hard and then recover for the next workout. Focus on the big exercises such as squats, deadlifts, bent-over rows, chin-ups, bench press, & military press. These are the exercises that will turn those extra calories into muscle. You are not going to gain much by doing lateral raises and step-ups every workout. You need the multiple-joint lifts that will shock your system and stimulate your body into growth. Focus on getting strong by adding a small amount of weight each workout. If you focus on strength, size will follow. Case in point, look around at your local gym - the strongest guys are also the biggest.\n\nGain Weight Step 3 - supplements!\n\nTo gain weight, you do not NEED supplements, but they will help you gain the weight quicker. That's what they are, supplements to an already good diet and training program. Think of supplements as the finishing touch.\n\nI like to keep things simple and, therefore, I suggest only two types supplements for those wishing to gain weight. The first is a weight gain shake. The shakes I recommend are ProLab's N Large 2. It's the best value out there. The way N' Large 2  will help is by giving you a large quantity of calories in one small serving. It will provide you with 620 calories in one easy shake and is especially great for people who do not have time for breakfast, or snacks while on the go. Just mix a serving with water or fruit juice and gulp it down in a just a couple of minutes. Get yourself a Shaker Bottle to make it even easier.\n\n\n\n\n(I got these answers from the website below...check it out, it has some great advice)

Try these tips to put your metabolism into overdrive\n\nGet pumped\n\nThe body bums calories in its muscle cells, so the more muscle you have, the more calories you'll use up--even at rest. And you shouldn't worry that building more muscle will make you look like Vin Diesel. "We don't have the amount of testosterone guys have to get that big," says Ann Yelmokas McDermott, Ph.D., a nutritionist and research scientist at Tufts University. Cardiovascular exercise will also help you burn fat and build more lean muscle. (For examples of interval-and-strength-training exercises that can increase your metabolism, see the fitness story, "Go for the Burn.")\n\nDon't skip meals\n\nIf you go long periods of time without eating, your body will try to conserve energy by burning fewer calories, says Cynthia Sass, a registered dietician and spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. And skipping meals "sets you up to be overhungry later on," adds Madelyn H. Fernstrom, Ph.D., director of the Weight Management Center at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Instead try to nibble on small meals throughout the day. Nibbling will help keep you full while you're waiting for lunch and dinner, which could stop you from overeating. And in addition to getting all your meals in, avoid extreme diets that call for serious calorie cutting--they can actually reduce your basal metabolic rate (BMR) by up to 30 percent.\n\nDrink plenty of water\n\n"Lack of water can slow the metabolic rate," says John Acquaviva, Ph.D., professor of Health and Human Performance at Roanoke College in Salem, Virginia. "Since water is the body's most important nutrient, the liver will turn its concentration to water retention instead of doing other duties, such as burning fat." Dehydration can also be mistaken for hunger, so if you're thirsty you may end up eating more.\n\nGo for protein\n\nEating protein stimulates the center of the brain, which regulates hunger and fullness, so you feel more satisfied than when you eat carbs, says Fernstrom. And according to Foster, proteins give your metabolic rate a slight boost so you burn more calories eating them.\n\nIncrease your intake of low-fat dairy\n\nA 2002 study that observed Black women found that the higher their calcium intake was, the lower the measure of their body fat. Some researchers believe that high calcium diets--about three servings of low-fat dairy a day--may help suppress a hormone that slows the breakdown of fat cells and instructs them to make even more fat. A 2003 Journal of Nutrition study also found that some of the other nutrients in dairy may help in the reduction of body weight and body fat.\n\nHave breakfast\n\nStudies have shown that people who eat breakfast lose more weight than people who don't. Why? Your body slows down when you sleep and doesn't speed back up again until you put some fuel in it. Eating breakfast may also make you less likely to snack throughout the day. But that doesn't mean you should reach for a plate of bacon and eggs. Choose plenty of fruit and whole grains instead. Fiber is a particularly good breakfast bet because it will leave you feeling full longer.\n\nCut back on alcohol\n\nNot only are alcoholic beverages high in empty calories, but drinking can also lower your inhibitions, Fernstrom says, making it easier to say yes to all those fattening foods you might otherwise take a pass on.

Never binge eat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\n\nJust increase calories to 2000 for weight gain and you will be ok. Make sure you eat 6 meals a day. Have a big breakfast really early like 6.30am. By 10.30am have a banana smoothie w 10 nuts. At 1pm have a bowl of pasta and a bread roll. 3pm have another smoothie w 10 nuts. 7pm have a big steak and potatoes w salad & dressing. 9pm eat 2 scoops of ice cream. \n\nShouldn't take too long! Everyone is different so it depends upon your Metabolic rate!

The best way to increase your weight is to always exceed your daily energy requirements. Find out exactly how many calories you burn on a daily basis through an assessment of your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)& AMR (Active Metabolic Rate). Once you have these numbers, it's simple math. Ensure you are above or consuming more calories than your body burns on a daily basis and you should increase your mass with the appropriate weight training regimen. \n\nhttp://preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bmr.html\n\nHere are some tips:\n1) always eat a heavy complex carb meal (pasta/rice)at least 1-2 hours before going to sleep.\n2) try weight gainer shakes at your local health food store.\n3) STAY AWAY FROM CARDIO (this really should be a short-term ideally since refraining from cardiovascular exercise can jepordize long-term health). For your purposes in the short-term, cardio will only hamper efforts to gain weight. If you don't have to run then walk, if you don't have to walk then stand, if you don't have to stand then sit, if you don't have to sit then lie down.\n4) weight training (if you are at least intermediate level) should not exceed 8 reps, especially on large muscle groups. Please seek the advice of a professional trainer before proceeding with heavy weights if you are not at least an intermediate level weight trainer. \n5) concentrate on multi joint and power movements such as squats and deadlifts for the largest spike in growth hormone during your workouts (again proceed only under supervision)\n6) never workout more than 90 minutes\n7) track your progress - it's the only way you'll find out what works for you\n8) sleep sleep and more sleep - minimum 9-10 hours to maximize growth.\n9) Drink plenty of water\n10) Creatine - probably one of the best ways to gain weight (if used properly) in the short-term.\n\nHere's a list of weight training exercises to help you:\n\nhttp://preventdisease.com/fitness/Strength_Exercises.html

Congratulations on your high metabolic rate and yourself lucky. Some big people want to lose weight and can't no matter how hard they try. This goes the same to those thin ones who want to gain weight but can't no matter how much they eat. But then again, your metabolism might change as you grow older, as it tends to slow down...thus you start to put on some pounds. So be as active in life as you can to maintain your metabolism in a tip-top shape!

Eat a variety of fruits & veggies.  I do daily, and it knocks off the extra pounds.  You have to maintain a healthy balanced diet...if you just eat apples, when you fall off the diet wagon, you'll gain weight very rapidly.\n\nGood luck,  :)

A gradual approach by increasing your metabolism will help you long term lose weight and keep it off.\n\nFor any weight loss program its important to understand how to increase your RMR or metabolism.  Your RMR or resting metabolic rate is the amount of energy you burn in your daily activities.  \n\nDo you know someone who can eat anything they want and  they are skinny as a rail even if they dont workout?  Well that person has a very high RMR.\n\nThere are several ways to increase metabolism but lets look at the factors that drive your metabolism RMR first. \n\n1. Genetics - you have very little control, but you are not a prisoner of your genes. \n\n2. Lean Muscle Mass - this one throws most people off because women think, oh no I dont want muscles and men think I guess I have to look like a body builder. Lean muscle mass is simply your weight minus the weight of your organs, bones, fluids and fat. You increase lean muscle mass primarily through eating properly, resistance exercise, and a lifestyle that doesnt promote catabolizing activites (smoking, heavy drinking and drug use)\n\n3. Frequency of meals - the more meals the more the metabolic processes take place in your body and the faster your metabolism.\n\n4. Water Intake - dehydration is a major drag on metabolism.\nMost people are dehydrated and they dont know it.\n\n5. Sleep - getting enough rest allows the body to function at a higher metabolic level.\n\nFor more information check my source.   It tells you more information than you even knew about your metabolism.  It  also goes into greater detail about different ways to speed your metabolism.\n\nhttp://www.jtfit.com/metabolism/

Josh, you will actually gain more weight by not eating, than by eating.  When you eat, your body digests the food and turns it into energy.  This process raises your metabolism, which is what helps you burn fat.  When you don't eat, your metabolism slows down, decreasing your ability to burn fat.  At your age, you need to think healthy, not in terms of pounds.  Eat within 30 minutes of waking up to kick-start your metabolism, then try to eat a snack mid-morning, lunch, a snack mid-afternoon, and dinner.  This way, your metabolism stays revved up.  A couple of secrets..avoid soda pop.  Too much sugar and lots of empty calories.  Also pay more attention to fat grams than carbs.  Fat is fat and your body knows it.  You will burn off the carbs if you workout or exercise.
