I'm 18 years old, and I think my metabolism may be slowing down. I keep gaining weight, no matter what I do. I diet and exercise, and still, my pants fit more and more tightly everyday. In fact, I can only fit into one pair of my pants now. I run a mile everyday and try to keep my food intake down, but I still keep gaining. I don't think it's simply a matter of gaining muscle because I've been an athlete (volleyball) for a long time, so I shouldn't be gaining muscle just from running. How do I stop gaining weight? Any adive would be GREATLY appreciated. MORE INFO: I am six feet tall and weigh about 170 lb. I have been trying to eat healthier. I don't drink soda (I haven't had much in the last year or so-maybe one per month, and that's overestimating.) I usually just eat a bowl of cereal for breakfast, a sandwich or a lunchable or something like that for lunch, and then whatever my mom makes for dinner. (I do still live with my parents.) I have cut out snack foods entirely, but I do eat a lot of processed food because my mom does the grocery shopping. For exercise, I have been running a mile a day without much weightlifting except maybe some ab workouts and lunges-things I did for volleyball, which I'm playing next year in college. I am really trying to stay in shape for health, volleyball, and even aesthetic purposes, but most of all just to fit into my pants again! So, hopefully that gives a little more insight, and once again, I would really appreciate any help because I've never really tried to lose weight before.
