Ways to Gain Weight

Some people are naturally super-thin and may even look kind of gawky - you can blame it on genetic factors or whatever, but their body just refuses to add any bulk. In their desperation to ways to gain weight they go in for a fat-rich diet - milk cream, fried food, cakes, cookies, and the like - that can end up ruining their health. Other people who may seek ways to gain weight are those who have become thin due to some eating disorder or serious illness. Whatever the reason, if you want ways to gain weight, you must do so in a healthy way. Here are some of the healthiest ways to gain weight:

1. Just consume an additional 500 calories per day, but don't forget to first plan a nutritionally balanced diet comprising appropriate amounts of proteins, carbohydrates and fats as well as micronutrients like vitamins and minerals. Avoid nutritionally poor/empty but calorie-dense foods like deep-fried foods, colas, ice creams, etc. - you may end up putting weight at the wrong places, in addition to raising your cholesterol and upsetting your blood insulin levels.

2. Spread out your meals: Do not skip the three daily-recommended meals - breakfast, lunch and dinner. Make your breakfast and lunch large, but keep the dinner relatively light, as sleeping on a full tummy is not good for health in general.
