My cousin is turning 22 years old and he is really thin talking 5’5 110lbs and is desperate to change his metabolism and gain more weight. He does drink lot of diet coke which is really bad for you, doesnt contain enough water or even milk. He eats A LOT including junkfood. He needs tips.

You don’t have to lift weights to do exercise. For metabolism, there isn’ t much dietary wise to change how you are wired to burn fat. You CAN change it… a little… but only a little.
If he’s as skinny as you say and eats poorly then he is probably not in good shape. Yard work will help as will any exercise. Pushups and situps are golden. Once your cousin’s fat is replaced with muscle he will probably be a little heavier as for the same volume, muscle has more mass than fat does.

well he needs to just eat more in general, the junkfood is fine if it’s limited down and he exercises
to build up muscle he needs to eat a lot of protein (eggs, milk, etc) and work out.

Slowing down his metabolism is not the answer. Increasing his caloric intake is the answer, but not with junkfood. He needs protein, protein, protein. A healthier way would be to increase his peanut butter intake. It high in protein and the caloric ratio is much better as far as cholestoral and fats are concerned. I had a co-worker that packed on 25 pounds of muscle in 6 months by eating pbj sandwiches, lots of chicken breasts, hard boiled eggs, pastas, and whey protien shakes. But just chowing down on junkfood is not the answer. He moght gain weight but it will be with the possible side effects of diabetes, or high cholestorol, or high blood pressure. So tell him about his friend protein.
