Weight gain is more than filling up with high protein
drinks or stocking up on high sugary based snacks.
To achieve your ideal body shape consider 2 key elements:
1.
Absorption
For weight gain it's
not what you eat, but what you absorb that counts.
Negative nutrition affects your ability to absorb
nutrients from food. If you are not absorbing to the max then you
won't be getting the maximum benefit from the food you eat which will
slow down the amount you will gain. Absorption can be affected by many
factors:
(any of
these apply to you?)
Are
you a smoker?
Coffee
drinker?
Drink
alcohol?
Eat
fast food?
Eat processed food?
Take prescription
medicine?
Many, many more
2. Your energy balance
You
need to regularly take in more calories than you burn.
Set yourself realistic targets, and aim to gain gradually as part of a
balanced diet, rather than simply eating more fried foods or unhealthy
snacks!
A key consideration is your daily energy usage:
Your metabolic rate
affects how much you use during the day. The rate varies between
people slows with age.
Your daily activity
- does your job involve physical activity? - this will drain the
system.
Or do you take part in sport /
exercise?Sports
can often make the situation worse as you can be draining your
system each time you play.
Similarly how much
energy do you put in your system?
Skip
one meal (or have a poor appetite) then you start with a negative
balance.
To put on weight you need to
consume more calories in an easy to take AND easy to absorb form.
Pre-programmed
weight
It takes many years to develop eating habits. You need
to follow a program for 90 days for the body to 'forget' the old
weight and 'get used ' to the new one. It is very important to
complete a long term program. Otherwise your body, just like a spring,
will unclasp and be back to its old weight.
"It was

police force) but nothing seemed to work and time was running
out. At long last I managed to find a simple plan to
help me achieve my dreams ".....
