You will find articles after articles about people looking for ways to lose their weight, to the point we usually forget about people who are underweight or has fast metabolism and would like to gain weight. There are a lot of medicines that are available in the market for this purpose. However, they don’t usually work. Most simply make the body swell, which is temporary and so the body comes back to its normal weight after the medicine intake is stopped. This can cause serious harmful effects on the body. This is the reason why any normal, healthy person would recommend more natural ways that can be adopted to gain weight rather than go for artificial methods. The recommendation for an underweight person would be to consult a doctor. However, we can help you plan some ways that can aid in gaining weight and staying healthy. Ways to Gain Weight Frequent Eating Usually, those who are underweight, they feel full even after a few bites. Their food quantity is small. This is why it would be recommended to eat several times a day. Instead of a breakfast, lunch, and dinner, eat smaller meals every 2 to 3 hours. Exercise Exercise is not only important for those who are trying to lose all the extra weight but also for those who are trying to gain weight too (especially people with a fast metabolism). There are a lot of strength exercises available. They can help build up muscles in all the right places. Also, because of all the exercise, one’s appetite would also be stimulated and would start eating more in one sitting. If one goes to the gym, they can use weight machines and other weight lifting exercises for training. Training and exercises can also be done at home by doing squats, lunges, and crunches for half hour every day. It should be remembered, however, that when one is doing exercise for the first time, they should go slow and not strain themselves for too long. When they feel pain, they should stop so that there is no muscle injury. Nutrient Rich Food Is Your Best Friend The body is underweight because of a lack of proper nutrients. Once meals are more fuller and with more nutrients, the body will start getting what it needed and start filling up and getting normal. All the food types from the food pyramid should be added to one’s diet. There should be carbohydrates in the form of whole grain bread, cereals and pasta, vegetables and fruits in the form of salads, juices and any other form, food with high-fat content, dairy products, and meat including fish and eggs too. Protein cannot only be taken from meat but also from different fruit seeds and nuts. Sugar Is Important Sugar, more importantly, carbohydrates, are important for someone who wants to gain weight. However, this does not mean that a person should be having sugary treats all the time. It should come more as an occasional treat so that it is healthy and also provides additional calories. For this purpose, things like a slice of pie, granola bar, ice cream, yogurt and bran muffin can be considered a good choice. Sugar is not only present in food but is also there in drinks. If a person with a fast metabolism gets their sugar from sodas, they should stop right now. Sodas, coffee, and other such drinks aren’t healthy and should be kept to the minimum. For additional nutrients and calories, a person should instead go towards drinks like shakes and smoothies that are made directly from fruits and vegetables and several dairy products. Watch What and When You Drink Mothers usually scold their children for drinking liquids just before a meal. In the beginning, we might not understand the reason but now it makes more sense. The liquid usually fills our stomach which means that after a little bit of food a person would feel filled. Since a less portion is consumed, the nutrients needed are missing from the body which might cause malnutrition and loss of weight. If someone feels thirsty a lot, they can drink water or any other liquid at least half hour before the meal.
