I wanted to know how i could put on weight, i was told i have a fast metabolism, i eat allot and still see no change. what can i do?

There is no medical: Condition known as "fast metabolism", it's a lay term. If your thyroid level is normal, metabolism can vary from one person to another, increases with increased activity, and is generally lower as you gain weight.
