Answer:

Hello and thank you for your question. Being thin or having a high metabolic rate can sometimes be the result of a medical problem, and you should discuss this with your doctor. If your doctor has said a medical problem is not responsible for your weight, there are a few things to try. Since muscle is much heavier than fat, and can give your body a more defined shape, you can try to do exercises which will build muscle. A gym or a health club, or a personal trainer can advise you on which kinds of exercises will help you to increase your muscle bulk. You can also try eating a different combination of foods, such as more carbohydrates along with more protein, and fewer vegetables, though remember that fruit and vegetables are very important for optimum health and you should still eat at least 5 servings of these every day. Carbohydrates are burned for energy, but the excess carbohydrates your body cannot burn in 24 hours will be stored as fat and will increase your weight. Carbohydrates are foods such as rice, noodles, breads, and soon. If you are exercising, you will need to eat more protein, such as meat, fish and chicken which will help to build up your muscles. You can also eat more fats. Fats are stored in your body as fat which will also increase your weight. Remember not to eat too many fatty or fried foods, though, because too much fat can be dangerous for your health. You should also take an excellent multivitamin every day. Vitamins and minerals can make your metabolism more efficient, so that the foods you eat are processed properly. Finally, remember that this kind of problem can simply be because some people's genetic makeup is coded for them to be thinner than other people, just as some people's genetic code means for them to be heavy.
