Hi! i am 18 yrs old, female, 5'1 , 99 lbs. i want to gain weight but i have fast metabolism. help!?
Question:
Answers:
I have the same problem you do (if you want to think of it as a problem). I am 22 years old, 5'2" and weight 95 lbs. (even less than you). I went to the doctor and he gave me appetite pills, and even though I ate more, I still didn't gain weight (probably b/c of metabolism). Now I just accept that I am petite. Women naturally gain weight as they get older, so, on the bright side, when most women have gotten fat or chubby, we'll still be looking hot!! =) Hope that helps.
go see your doctor, they can give you a healthy plan to gain weight. if you are going to do it, you need to do it right.
Low Carb Dieting Tip
Your rate of metabolism dictates how many calories you burn. Heredity, gender, age, body size. diet and nutrition, activity level, and your overall health factor in on determining how high or low your metabolism is. It is normal for metabolism levels to lower as a person ages. Because of this it is important to begin stepping up your exercise routines in your thirties and forties.
Ways to Boost Your Metabolism
Eat Regularly - Eating 5-6 small meals throughout the day will give you energy throughout the day--helping you to burn calories. Whereas, calories eaten during larger meals tend to get stored as fat.
Maintain a Balanced Diet - Not only how often you eat is important, but your food choices are equally as important. Nurture you body with the appropriate balance of protein and carbs.
Eating whole foods rather than processed food gives your digestive system a workout that burns calories. For example: choose an apple over apple juice.
Workout with Weights - Building muscle mass will replace stored fat. As you build muscle tissue your metabolism increases.
Don't Forget Cardio - You need to get that heart rate up and breathe a little heavier. Twenty to thirty minutes of cardiovascular activity 5 days a week is recommended. Brisk walking or swimming are good. Or utilize exercise equipment (exercise bike, treadmill, or elliptical trainer).
It doesn't matter how much you weigh, what's important is how you feel.
eat lots of carbs and starches i wish i had that problem. good luck
i'm so jealous. i wish we could just change bodies I'm like that height and 110-115 lol then we'd both be happy lol
Wanna switch metabolisms?! You can gain, I'll lose and then we can switch back. I know most people would say "Boo hoo, you can't gain weight", but I had a friend in the same situation. She's finally put on some weight, but she also had 2 kids. Now.I'm not telling you to run out and get knocked up.
I would talk to a doctor. I don't know if there's anything they can give you to mess with your metabolism?
pizza?
you probbaly only need to gain 5 pounds. Celebrate your slim figure.

i envy u, i need to lose weight here!!! eat lots of sugar , large meals at less times a day. Iheard the less times u eat the more ur metabolism drops or sumtin?? lol dunoo...
Just wait until you have children, then you'll be asking how do I lose it, lol.
Seriously, have you had your thyroid level checked? I am 5'7" and weighed 97 lbs. Turned out it was an overactive thyroid gland. They gave me radioactive iodine (absorbed by the gland) and now I weigh twice as much. Needless to say I wish I hadn't swallowed that little capsule!
Good luck.
go to a supermarket or GNC and get Whey Protien (a powder). just make a shake with that and drink it once or twice a day. do it right after you eat. funny thing is, me and my roommate are both using it. she takes it as a meal substitute to lose weight, i'm using it in between meals to gain weight..
if you're lazy you can buy packs of ensure plus (make sure it's the plus otherwise it won't do anything..)
you should probably talk to your doctor about this. he/she can give you a plan so that you gain weight in a healthy way.
try lots of protein... whey protein bought at like GNC in huge tubs for relatively cheap can be great mass builders. Just make sure you work out to keep it toned. I am soo glad to hear a woman say she wants to gain weight instead of loose weight. I bet you will be fine as hell afterwards... Good job!
I also have a fast metabolism (although at 29, not as fast as it used to be!). I used to drink protein shakes to help put on weight, and as long as you get some form of exercise also you gain weight without gaining flab. I promise you that as you get older your metabolism will slow down- so enjoy it while you can!
Go to a bodybuilding or health food store and buy a weight gainer product to add to your diet gradually. It is a protein supplement shake that you drink a couple times a day. Careful not to go bananas though! I wanted to gain 10 lbs about 12 years ago when I had your problem. I didn't think it was working, doubled the routine, and all of a sudden . bam ***&^*&*&*#### no more problems when four pounds appeared one day, two the next day. Be sure to follow the directions. I doubled up on it and gained too much too fast thinking it wasn't effective enough - not good for your body and it is tough to slow down your eating habits when you build your calorie intake up.
Be grateful!! What is so bad about being thin?
