[kalspic]

is there any way to permenently slow dwon your metabolism. i think i did from not eating enough or dieting the wrong way. i know this sounds like a stupid question. but if its possible how can i fix it without gaining fat?

Start eating again, weights and cardio will give it a bump as well.

eating a meal every 3 hours, everyday, will kick start your metabolism again, you need to keep that up though. don't increase calories, just break down in to smaller COMPLETE meals 6-8 times a day

Yep, regular smaller meals.

when you say regular you mean like one is pro/carb and ones fat/pro or have a pro/carb and a little fat?

meaning, each meal should contain WHOLE FOODs, except your PWO which can be a shake. Try to avoid too many shakes, or processed foods like lunch meats, cereals, canned soups, etc....

each meal should contain Protein, Good Carbs and even a little GOOD fat !

One way to lower your metabolism is to eat more carbs, but be careful cause that doesn't mean you can pig out on burgers and such. Stay on clean carbs if you know what i mean. Eatin every 3hrs smaller meals has always been a good diet regime of bodybuilding to sustained your blood sugar level. That way you could gain and at the same time keep your bodyfat in control.

thanks everyone i have been doing this since you all responded. i think my problem was that i ate 6 small meals a day but they didnt have enough macros and all that.

i agree with everything said above

one thing to add is that HIIT cardio can create a raised metabolic state(called the afterburn effect) which you could utilize as well
