A member asked:
How can you lower a fast metabolism so that you can gain weight? i would weigh myself today then when i weigh myself again i would be 2-3 pounds less.

Don't bother: If your thyroid is normal, be thankful your metabolism is fast at your age. If looking to gain weight, increase calories with good fats, high protein, and carbs from vegetables & fruits, and do more resistance exercises rather than cardio.
