Can I slow down my metabolism?

So I'm 17 and I've got a really quick metabolism, but recently (past 8 months) I've been having to eat nearly all the time and it really sucks. For example, I was stuffed an hour and 20 minutes ago, now I'm fucking starving again, but I don't want to eat anything because I eat so much that no food really appeals to me unless I'm high, and I can't just be high all the time.

Another issue with this is that I can't sleep through the night. If I eat a full meal right before bed at around 11pm, I always wake up starving between 5-6:30am and I really have no appetite at 5 in the morning, but my belly needs nourishment.

I have a pretty comfortable BMI I guess, I'm about 6'1" and 170lbs but I'm a little on the skinny side. I'm just really sick of having to eat all the time, it's lost all pleasure unless I get stoney baloney first, and even then sometimes I don't feel like eating.

So is there a way of eating so that I can slow myself down? Like eating bigger portions less times per day? I'm also very active usually. I run long distance in the spring/summer/fall and I'm on the hill all winter.

and no I haven't been to a doctor or nutritionist but I'm thinking about it.

you should go see a doctor or nutrionalist since they probably know more then your average NSer

don't worry about it dude. it will slow down with age. you'll actually be thankful as you get older and all of your friends get fat, yet you remain fit. at least that's been my experience. mine has started to slow down albeit every so slightly. i used to hate it...now i love it. i've still got a 6-8 pack and everyone else is rocking a spare tire around their waist

Yeah, giving recognition to a guy who is trying to rustle your jimmies is a good idea.

They would probably tell you to eat healthier? My only theory. If you eat shit food your body burns it up faster. Complete shot in the dark though
