Weight Gain can be as easy as 1-2-3
The first stage in selecting 'what to eat' is to take the 3-step
approach,
1 Find out..... why you are not
gaining weight.
As a first step find out why you are not putting on weight.
Even before thinking about extra calories or more food make sure
your body is absorbing everything. Otherwise it goes in one end
and.... (you get the message)
Lots of items affect your absorption rates : stress, fizzy drinks,
alcohol, .....
A key item to your weight gain plan will be to find out if any of
these are slowing down your weight gain process.
It could be you simply need to take in more of the right calories, on
the other hand it could well be that however many calories you take in
you won't gain weight - if your absorption rates are not at their
best.
2 Find out..... what you need to eat
and when.
Simply adding extra calories is not enough - you need to
know exactly how many calories you need each day to gain weight.
For example ignore all the myths about having to take in an extra
2000, 3000 or more calories per day.
If you take in the right amount of calories for you weight
gain can be easy and effective.
You then simply need to focus on exactly the right type of foods
you need to eat and drink.
For example healthy balanced meal, regular meal, plenty of fresh fruit
& veg. will really help. But focus especially on the early part
of the day.
3 Plan for best results
Based on the above 2 simply combine these into a plan that works and
gain weight. Whether you want to focus on what you need to eat and
drink, or if you would like to add supplements or weight gain drinks
to your diet. This can either be based on gaining weight all over - or
specific advice if you want to build muscle and shape.
Often it can be quite easy, however the key is to focus on exactly the
right type of food and when you eat.
