How do I gain belly fat with a high metabolism?

Asked Mar 18, 2012, 08:16 PM — 19 Answers
I'm 17, 5"8, and male. I have a high metabolism, but I don't do any physical activity. I have decided I want to gain some fat, but I don't know how to do it efficiently.

As well, if I continue to eat to gain, not be physical and only go to school, even with a high metabolism, - am I on the road to morbid obesity?

How to 'kill' a high metabolism?
Alright, I was wondering what ways there are to make a high metabolism become extremely slow. No matter the consequences, what can I do?

May I ask why you want to be morbidly obese? You do realize that comes with health risks like diabetes and heart attacks don't you?

My grandfather and now my son have a high metabolism. They can eat and eat and eat, even sweets, and never seem to gain an ounce. Look at your father and grandfather. Are they tall and thin with a high metabolism?

At your age, this may seen like a bad thing (but you can always lift weights to gain muscle mass), but once you are around age 40, having a high metabolism will be a good thing. That's the age when the body begins to slow down so that weight gain becomes a problem.

Be glad for how your metabolism is. In twenty years, you will still be smiling while others will be worrying about diets and being unattractively fat.

P.S. Girls like men with a flat belly. A FAT belly can mean heart attack.

Will I get fat if I continue this?
I'm you're typical lazy guy, I'm 17 and 5"8. I have a high metabolism so I can drink soda, eat junk, play video games and lay down all day after I get home from school and on the weekends.

I have a high metabolism now, but if I continue this, will I become obese?

Ah, I remember those days. I had a high metabolism too. When I was 16 I was 98 pounds soaking wet. I could eat whatever I wanted, never exercise, and never gain weight. But that changed.

Sooner or later it will catch up to you. Either way, high metabolism or not, what you're doing isn't healthy for your body. It will rebel, one way or another.

As you get older, you have established bad habits, they are harder to change as you get older, and yes you will get fat
