While others are having a hard time looking for best weight loss supplement, I’m having difficulties gaining weight. Maybe it’s not just the diet, but also the genes. Everyone in my family has the same body built as mine so I think that’s it.

Born to be slim... and shady.

My friends say that I’m one of the lucky girls who has fast metabolism. While I’m not considering this a curse either, I still wish to gain few pounds. Year-end physical examination always shows I’m underweight but I don’t really feel it. Everything seems normal. I’m healthy. Even so, I made a research on how to slow down fast metabolism.

The first tip is to choose slow-metabolizing foods such as sugars, white bread and processed foods. Fried foods that contains saturated oils are also suggested but this one freaks me out. I know it’s not healthy! But then again, these are the only foods that can help store much needed fats in my body.

Protein-rich foods will also help in gaining weight. Avoid being engaged to strenuous activities after eating because it will contribute to quick digestion. You just have to relax instead. Refrain from drinking too much water or other liquids while eating since it will trigger the fast metabolism. Get much sleep as you can because it can slow down metabolism.

Finally, have yourself checked for thyroid problems because most weight issues are related to hypothyroidism.
