How to gain weight

1. How To Gain Weight - Not Always As Easy Or Fun As It
Sounds
If you're underweight you're probably sick of people saying, 'O how I wish I was thin like you' or 'it must be so
nice to eat whatever you want and never gain a pound' and then they hit you with nonsensical advice telling
you how to gain weight. Stuff like:
• Just eat more
• Decrease your metabolism
• Drink more beer
Well, putting on weight, healthy muscle weight, takes just as much will power and dedication as losing
weight.
And yes, while eating more and drinking more beer sounds like fun (to some of us) it's definitely far better
to gain weight the healthy way. Pizza and beer will just make you put on fat and that's not what most
people want.
Some people have habits and disposition that keeps them slender. It's a matter of changing those habits in
a positive fashion.
Often people who are overweight will blame their genes, so you might think that genetics play a huge part
in being skinny too. Not really the case. It might give you an added chance of being fat or thin, but it's
eating and exercise habits that are mainly to blame. Many people can gain weight easily. Heck, all I have to
do is stop exercising regularly and I pile the pounds on, but were I to give you that advice it would be poor
advice.
Here are some easy ways to gain weight
Eat More Healthy Food
Ok, we all know (mostly) what's good and bad for us. So don't double up on pizza. Don't increase the
amount of milkshakes and fries you eat. But do eat more lean chicken, pork and turkey. Eat twice the
amount of vegetables. Try a protein supplement, the best whey protein will do wonders for you. Your
capacity for food will expand, as will your enjoyment of good food. Eating will turn into a pleasure.
Time Your Many Daily Meals
Little and often is the phrase that many health (nuts) experts cry out. Maybe in your case, lots and often
(keeping in mind that it's healthy eatin'). Eat every 2.5 hours. Eat within 30 minutes of getting up in the
morning. Eat vitamin packed, nutritious food 5 or 6 times a day. You'll gain weight and become a better
cook!
Change Plate Size
You know when people are trying to lose weight and they're too lazy to exercise so they have to diet their
butts off, which probably won't work, they're often told to use a small plate and a small bowl so that they are
psychologically convinced they've had a big plateful. Well, the opposite also works. Get a big bowl and a
huge plate. I would bet that most people who are underweight don't eat enough good food, so here we go.
Eat well and fill your plate!
Train Full
Yup. Simplicity itself. My best workouts, the ones when I seem to have boundless energy come in the mid
afternoon when I've had breakfast, brunch and lunch and then had a workout. MY body is crammed with
energy. Slow release carbs, proteins and good fats, and bags of caffeine (I'm not as healthy as I'd like).
What I often hear of though is people hitting the gym after having a small bowl of oatmeal and a glass of
water. Yeah, that's fuelling well. Eat, eat, eat and then train, train, train.
My prediction is, you follow those hints on how to gain weight, and really follow them and you'll gain pounds
of solid, awesome, beautiful muscle, every week.
