Eat a lot of protein and sugar.  Plus, the longer you go between meals, the more your metabolism slows down.  Drinking water sparingly may slow it as well.  Stress can slow it, but don't stress yourself out on account of this.  Metabolism is also genetic.  Hopefully you can change it up, but it may just be how you are.

yes you are slightly I'm just being honest, I'm 6"2 and 154lbs and I'm underweight so we all have this problem. Just excercise for half an hour to an hour 4 times a week. Probably running or cycling is a good work out to lose a few pounds. I hope that helps you

1. Increase your metabolism by- \n\nGaining Muscle from lifting weights the more muscle you have the more calories you body burns in a day\n\nDrinking Green Tea or Coffee speed up Heart rate. This is called thermogenics\n\nCardio. King of all.  Cardio can make you burn extra calories all day.  \n\nEat 5 small meals to also increase you metabolism. eating prevents your body from puting itself is starvatiion mode.  When you starve yourself, the body draws energy from other parts of the body mainly muscle. So by eating small meals everyday you constantly keep your body working around the clock.\n\n2.  Diet\nStop eating fried foods. The worst food ever it is cooked in animal fat.\nStop eating junk. Sugar stores as fat.\nMost importantly stop eating empty calories.  Drinks and Some juices or anything you intake that doesn't fill you up but is high in caloric value\nDrink a lot of water to flush out impurities in your body so it can function and rid itself of things than make you gain weight.(it also clears up you skin)\n\n\n\nIf you follow this you will lose on avg. about 2-3% of your body weight each week.

You must have a high metabolism.  While it is a good thing for your health...the best thing to do, unfortunately, is to keep eating about five small meals a day.  That's the way we're supposed to eat.  \n\nMaybe you're growing too, it makes a difference.

Look child.  F that.  Stop trying to be a stick.  You did not gain weight over night and you will not loose it over night.  It will probably take you 3 times and long to loose it as it did to gain it.  I know.  I used to be super skinny, and I an now like a size 14/16.  I would love to loose 40-50 pounds and be a size 8, but I must learn to love myself no matter what weight I am.  I have lost and gained over the years, but I have learned from all success and failure.  You will derail your efforts if you stop eating or start throwing up.  Not only will you loose fat, but you will loose muscle.  You need to build up your muscle first by doing some resistance training so that you will burn more fat while you are at rest.  You may also need to try a diet program like weight watchers or myonlinefooddiary.com.  Remember we gain and loose sometimes because of stress or depression.  You need to heal your inside first before you focus on your outside.  Once you love yourself being big, you will see how many other people love big women too.  Be good, and think about it please.

1. eat smaller portions more often...basically don't let yourself feel hungry.  if your body feels hunger, metabolism will slow down (your body's way of adapting to the fact it doesn't have food...survival mechanism).  \n\n2. exercise!  working out or doing cardio for an hour will throw your metabolism into overdrive for a few hours.  let's say you burn 300-400 calories in an hour exercising...your body will think that you need LOTS of energy so it will burn pretty everything it can for energy.  this is probably the best way to boost metabolism.  of course you gotta eat if you workout or else your body will just break itself down.\n\nplus, having more muscle causes your body to burn more calories just to maintain them...for example, you will burn more calories walking if you have larger leg muscles since it takes more energy to operate them.

Hormones can change your metabolism and you will have to find how much you can eat without gaining weight.  Hormones DO NOT cause you to gain weight, only consuming more calories than you need leads to weight gain.  If your metabolism is slowed by hormones, you will need to eat less than your accustomed to if you want to stay the same weight.\nDon't blame it on the pills...and if you cannot stop over-eating you may want to get off the pills?

I would give you advice on this but as a child I was also skinny.  There are healthy shakes that you can drink or what not but I basically let my body do what it was going to do and now I am average.  If your metabolism is just to high then you really aren't going to be able to do too much.  \n\nBe careful about overeating.  There are a lot of serious implications to it.  I do know where you are coming from and why you are trying to gain though.  Its as much a stigma as it is if you are overweight.  I was known as skin-and-bones-jones.

You eat a lot and don't gain any weight.  Which if you are young is probably not a problem.  Doctors can prescribe drugs and hormones to correct this problem.  However, it might not be a problem with your metabolism, it could be something like a anemia, tapeworm, or just about any other illness.  The good thing is that they can just about all be corrected or eliminated with prescriptions and proper diets.  Best advice on this one, just talk to your doctor.

Do you really want to lower your metabolism?  That would mean that you burn calories less efficiently.  I think most people are trying to raise their metabolic rate to allow them to burn more calories each day.\n\nIf you want to lower it, you could lose muscle mass and try fasting.  Both are bad for your metabolic raet.\n\nIf you actually want to raise it, you should eat regular meals and try weight training to build muscle mass.  Muscle burns more calories than other body mass, so you will be able to lose weight while still eating the same amount of calories each day.

Seems like you have a fast metabolism like me.  I think your best bet is to begin lifting weights and eating lots of protein in order to put on a little muscle.

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have  more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

There's a diet that is supposed to boost your metabolism. You eat 900 calories one day, 1200 the next, 1800 the next and repeat. Or something like that. You might try searching the internet to see if you can find the details of it. Sorry I don't remember the name.

Sorry about that.... I know how you feel. I know someone who started gaining alot of weight due to a health problem and being on certain medications, a lot of people don't understand that. I was told that eating very small portions throught out the day rather than the 3 suggested meals might help boost your metabolism but make sure it's healthy eating and no junk food. Try some Cardios, walking, light jogs....etc whenever you can. Hope this helps...

Increase metabolism by eating several smaller meals per day.  The idea is to never let yourself get hungry.  One way to accomplish this would be to eat three healthy nutritious meals and eat healthy nutritious snacks in between those meals keeping yourself satisfied throughout the day. \n\nIt will be very important that the snacks are healthy, and that the meal sizes are reduced to compensate for the additional calories the snacks provide to prevent weight gain.\nTry this link for more info:
