Weight Gain

Obesity and uncontrolled weight gain is one of the most common problems faced by people all over the world today. Obesity or excess weight leads to health disorders like high blood pressure, diabetes, gout and gall bladder problems. Hence it is very much necessary to keep a control on your weight gain. A proper combination of diet and exercise works best to keep a check on your weight gain. However there are many people who are not suffering from weight gain but they are suffering from very low weight. In other words they are underweight. Just as excess weight causes a lot of problems mentioned above, people whose are underweight also face problems like weakness in the body, getting tired easily and also the body is not much resistant to diseases. In this topic we will discuss how to gain weight. Weight gain is not something which happens in a day. Weight gain is achieved through constant efforts by the people who would like to gain weight. Remember that for weight gain you have to do almost the reverse that one does for losing weight. You have to eat big meals everyday. Also you can also do heavy exercises to gain weight and one of the heavy exercises is weight lifting. The other option is to count how many calories do you consume in a day. Then you should add 500 to 1000 calories to the existing calories and eat that much food. So at least you have to eat food worth 2500 calories a day for weight gain. Ideally for weight gain you should eat 5-6 small meals in between 2 to 3 hours everyday. As mentioned before join a gym and do heavy exercises like weight lifting. In case you are still not able to gain weight then you must further increase your intake of calories to about 250 more calories. It is necessary to stay away from fatty foods. Even if you want to gain weight you should stay away from fatty foods. Do not eat fatty and high sugar foods like burgers, chips, ice creams, cakes and confectionaries. You can however eat lot of high protein foods like fish and eggs. You can also have a lot of vegetables, fruits, meat and turkey for weight gain. You should also drink a lot of water. Drink at least half a gallon of water everyday for weight gain. You are required to sleep at least for 8 hours a day.
