How to stop my metabolism for burning up my food?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can you clarify?: You eat so that you can metabolize food to give you energy, and hopefully have something left for growth. You've indicated that you would like to gain weight. Your real question must surely be, "why can i not gain weight despite eating enough so that it would seem that i should?" your physician must rule out malabsorption / maldigestion, hyperthyroidism ; some others. Seen a dietician?
