How to gain weight???

Start the exercise program slowly. Go for a walk every day. Start with little weights and build up. When you feel good then you are happy.

Putting on weight just like loosing it, takes time and effort. However, there is the issue of metabolism, a fast metabolism is going to burn the calories you consume, doesn't matter how much (a person can only eat so much) or how little you 'sit around', it's simply going to burn those calories. Body fat isn't really a great plan for weight gain, as body fat has a lot of negatives that come with it, and if you do successfully gain weight as body fat it may 'backfire' on you and cause too great a weight gain. Instead, just eat the amounts you normally would, perhaps making the evening meal the heaviest of the day, high protein diets aren't going to put that weight on, starches and sugars convert more easily into fat, fat that will convert back into usable calories or sugars for your body to burn when needed. It doesn't take a lot of muscle mass to build upon, the advantage of building muscle mass is that it is rather more attractive than simple fat, and more comfortable. You don't need to join a gym to create a body building program, there are plenty of sites that will give you basic information right on line. It isn't even always a need to build muscle that is necessary, toning muscle, gaining definition can make a lot of difference in the way you and others perceive your appearance. I sounds to me like you are what I would term rather young, early 20's perhaps, if that is the case, have patience, your metabolism will change as you age...meantime, tone and define the muscles you do have, and you may even note a upward trend of the scale.

I am chubby. The only way I gain too much weight by over sleeping and eating too much at a time. Its not a good suggestion to your problem. I guess you should check up your whole body specially check your hormones. Due to deficiency in hormones, people get fat or skinny sometimes. By the way, do you have any deceases?

Hi AgentGulaman! Nice to know that there is someone here trying to gain weight like I do. I always come across with tips on how to lose weight but rarely can I find tips to gain weight. I just wish we have a reality show like "The biggest gainer" so we can see how they can gain weight! Sometimes it is really hereditary on why we have such fast metabolism. I have always been thin in my entire life and so is my mom. I noticed however, that she started gaining weight when she had her menopause. She is so big now. I really could not give you much help. In fact I read all those who responded to your discussion with the hope of finding some helpful tips. I don't like to try the raw eggs! So far, the milk supplement had worked for me for some time. I might just go back to it the next few days. Have you tried the vitamins? I think it is cheaper than the milk. My son had been prescribed by his pedia to use Appebon and he is quite heavy now. We were asked to discontinue it once we had gotten the results that we wanted. Hope we can have our desired weight soon. I still need around 10-20 pounds.

Hi AgentGulaman! I'm also wondering on how to gain weight. I eat a lot, Sleep a lot, Slack a lot and do minimal exercises. My Mom use to say that it runs in the family of my father that they are thin until the age of 20 but guess what. I'm already 22 and still I'm stuck with this weight. I have tried that very well known gain weight milk for about a month and still no results. Also high protein diet didn't help. I wish someone can help us through this discussion. I really hope so! Good luck and All the best!!

Hi, you have a metabolism that people envy. You need weight training, or start a weight training program. How often do you exercise? If you do already exercise, minimize the high frequency light weight training, and increase the low frequency heavy weight training. Instead of lifting weights that are 10-15 lbs and do a lot of reps, lift weights that are 20-30-40 lbs if possible and do only a few reps is what i mean. Also, try products that are known as mass gainers, in these mixtures, a 250ml cup is equivalent to a day's meal and more. Usually 1000-3000 calories per cup. Insane yea i know. But this does not mean you should stop eating your normal meals. Usually when you utilize mass gainers you are required to exercise using heavy equipment more often. These are similar to protein drinks/shakes/supplements. But mass gainers are more unique to people with high metabolism, and you may want to add protein to these if you wish. Follow instructions in the box. I believe, if you feel strong and healthy, you may not need to gain/lose weight. However, i have noticed with a few of my friends, with similar metabolism like yours to have really bad cardiovascular. Before starting any weight gaining procedures, check your health first. Visit a doctor, and or try your test your cardiovascular, do some skipping and running and see how long you last. If not intense enough, try sprinting short distance with short break and sprint again, jogging is usually way to easy. If you are fine, and don't prefer going to the gym. Do basic push ups, 5-30 reps every 15-45 mins, squats in similar frequency, and lunges. The key is to do them very slow, annoying may be, but doing them slow will help you utilize your muscles more instead of relying on your motion velocity. So, an average person can do a full push up in 1 second, for you, try to do 3 seconds going down, and 3 seconds going up, etc. And instead of mass gaining products, try ice cream along with your exercises. Goodluck, reply back if you have any questions.

You're so lucky because you have this metabolism that keeps you away from gaining weight while I am trying so hard to slim down. Have you tried drinking a milk formula that is designed for skinny people to gain weight? The name of the milk brand is Appeton Weight Gain. You can try for a few days and see the outcome.

I suggest you just eat when you feel like it, a little snacking when watching the tv, or playing games, or even when you walk past a street vendor will sure make you gain a few pounds within the week.

I've been having the exact same problem. I've always been very tinny. Now, as an adult, I'm really trying to gain weight. Any time that I feel like my weight is at place where even a little happy about, I soon find myself losing it without wanting to or even trying. I've always struggled with putting on any kind of weight. It does get annoying. I find that it does.

My recommendation is not to gain weight just because people told you to, simple as that. People who tell you to lose weight are mostly people jealous of your body, and want you to be a little more like them so the won't feel that anxious about being near someone with the body they want. If you want to gain weight because you really dislike your body, I'm afraid that with your kind of metabolism it's going to be impossible, at least when it comes to gaining fat. You can try gaining muscle. Even if you have no muscle tone now, doing exercise for a while your muscles will turn stronger and bigger. You will gain weight with that as muscles weight when they're well trained, but it won't really be physically noticeable.

Carbs...I think you have to eat a lot of it, not exercise too much and in two years you might have 6 kg more...

Hey, I am almost 27, a hundred and fifteen pounds and six foot. Working out with heavy lifting of weights will help build muscle mass. Make sure to get as much calories as possible and 1 to 2 grams of protein for every pound of body weight, which isn't hard if you eat alot. Carbohydrates will fuel, protein after workouts will aid in rebuilding you and a small amount of healthy fats will go a long way. The key is to keep at it day after day. Use proper form, heavy weight and maxium amount of reps. Good luck.

hi agentgulaman dear friend adding or putting weight is not so difficult but loosing is very hard still if you want to put some as you dont want to be skinny i would like to suggest some thing please try this and i am sure this will help you to put on 1)add one spoon ghee in milk and drink it evcery morning.... 2)and in the evening boil some dry dates in milk and have it befor going in bed. 3)eat fruits everyday .......... 4)and if want to be little bit fatty eat burger it puts fat very soon......

Hi AgentGulaman, Same here, I am also skinny. Same as you, having a hard time gaining weight. I also tried protein drinks, going to the gym. I did gain some weight but then again after a time i lost it somehow. I don't know maybe it has something to do with our genes. Because both my grandfather on both sides are tall and skinny. It may also be our metabolism. Its sure is fast. If ever you found a solution to this problem, don't hesitate to share I would really love to find out. Thanks.
