I think eating one meal per day will slow it down a bit. Nothing special about one meal, just eat less often than you do. I don't know about any herbs or anything. Maybe you should talk to your doctor. Good luck!

Most herbs and drugs are metabolized by the liver to inactive derivatives. The rate al which the liver metabolizes these herbs and drugs determines the length of time they stay active in the body. If the liver was induced to speed up its metabolism, herbs and drugs would be inactivated at a faster pace, and the overall effectiveness of ingested substances would be lower. Conversely, if the liver was induced to slow down its metabolism, herbs and drugs would be inactivated at a slower pace, and the overall effectiveness of the substances would be higher.
Generally, drugs that induce liver metabolism do not exert an immediate effect; liver metabolism changes slowly over several weeks. Therefore, the effect of increased liver metabolism ' until weeks after the initiation of drug therapy. Examples Dilantin (phenytoin), Tegretol (carbamazepine), phenobarbitals, Rifampin. These drugs hasten liver metabolism(4,5). The then be inactivated faster, and their overall effectiveness may be low-ered. Under such circumstances, thc patient may need a hi. herbs to achieve the desired effectiveness.
Antithetically, drugs that inhibit liver metabolism delay onset of action. The rate of liver metabolism may be impaired within a few days. Consequently, there is a higher risk herbs accumulating inside the body; the function of the liver to inactivate them is compromised. Drugs which slow or inhibit liver metabolism include, but are not limited to, Tagamet (cimetidine), er thromycin, ethanol, Diflucan (fluconazole), Sporonox (itraconazole and Nizoral (ketoconazole). Thus, the herbs may be inactivated slowly, and the overall effectiveness may be prolonged. The dosage of herbs may need to be lowered to avoid unwanted side effects.

First, taking a prescription to slow down your metabolism is a bad idea. What you need to do is to add more cruciferous vegetables. They are known to interfere with the metabolism of fast oxidizers. You can also add soy bean, in whatever form is convenient, because it tends to slow down the body's metabolic activity.
