Hi, I'm 13. I'm 4'11 and I weigh 75 lbs. I know I'm underweight. I have a very fast-metablism. My question is how do I slow it down?

You are obviously underweight. Since you talk about very fast metabolism, do you have problems tolerating hot weather, or sweat a lot or have palpitations? These are all features of overactive thyroid and there are many more.

The second question is have you been well without any health problems because certain illnesses can make you lose weight.

Thirdly, there are people who have fear of eating or obsessed with weight loss such as anorexia.

All three options need a chat with a doctor. If all is well, after the check up then a dietitian or nutritionist or the doctor can point you in the right direction

Other Answers:
you don't want to slow it down.

by-the-way. do excersize, you'll gain lbs in muscle, not fat.

if you dont eat much then it would slow your metabolism down. but if yr already underweight then there is no point in that. see if your doctor can give you anythin for it.
