How to Lose Weight Really Fast in 3 Easy Steps

Recommended Answer:
It seems that you are underweight due to a high metabolism, puberty as well as a mildly active lifestyle. In order to help you gain weight permanently to be healthy, I suggest you look into eating a high calorie diet many times a day, sleep well and do the right workout in order to help you to grow. Your diet plan currently is good in terms of frequency, but I think they lack substance.

a high calorie diet needs to consists of at least 55-60% carbohydrates. As a rule of thumb, let your plate decide how much food you are taking. 60% is slightly more than half so aim for that same amount on your plate be it in the form of potatoes, pasta, noodles, biscuits, bread or rice. Eating 6 hearty meals of this will help you to gain the weight you need faster compared to simply eating3 meals. Lastly, if you need help on how to get the habit to eat 6 times a day or find it difficult to make 6 meals a day, I suggest you look into drinking 500ml of milk in between your meal 3 times a day for the extra meals you need. Increase the amount by 100ml until you see the 1 pound weight gain on the scale. Only then should you focus on getting your sleep and workout right while maintaining the same calorie that helped you to gain 1 pound this week.

Next, sleep is the 2nd step to proper gains. This is usually the deciding factor that separates the committed to the interested. Most people can train hard and eat well but when it comes to making a 8 or more hours slot to get their sleep, that usually does not happen. It is not only about the number of hours of sleep only, but also how sound do you sleep. If possible, try sleeping and waking up all by yourself everyday so that you have absolutely no distractions that jerk you out of your bed. This means that your body will be fully recharged, fully repaired and growing to help you gain the weight and you need.

The last thing that most skinny people get wrong is also workout. Most people who come across friends who asked them for advice if they are looking to gain weight often said that not doing anything will help you to gain the weight you need. It maybe true for people with a slow metabolism rate but it is totally untrue for us. This is because when you cease to be active, your body will break down the muscles in your body as well as the fat in order to lighten its load. The fact is that what you do not use your body destroy. Also, if you are simply focusing on eating and sleep to help you to gain weight, it is highly unlikely because a poor day of diet or sleep will cause your body to break down the excess calories you have been trying so hard to put on, causing you to lose even more weight than you put on. I suggest looking to http://gohforth.com for a workout that will help to be the trigger to help you to gain weight.

• Only advice i can give is always drink a lot of water, water is very important in weight control
• Eat fast food and do nothing all day.
• drink alot of water, eat more (healthy food)
• You have a fast metabolism.
  I have exactly the same problem. No matter how much I eat (and I do eat a lot) I can never put on weight and this has been an issue for me my whole life. When you have a fast metabolism you burn fat in your body a lot faster, which makes it harder for you to put on weight. A healthy BMI is 18.5 and whenever I work out my BMI I am always 18.3, but that''s just the way I am built. As long as you are healthy and happy in your body then that''s all that matters. Genes have a big part to play as if a lot of people in your family are slim then you will most likely be slim. It is important though that while you may look healthy and nice & slim on the outside you still have to eat healthy, exercise, drink lots of water and take care of your body as on the inside your body needs to be healthy too.
  
  You can''t help the way you are built and as long as you are healthy & comfortable in your own skin then that''s all that matters. If you are really worried then talk to your doctor about it, but there''s nothing you can do. It''s all fine, and natural. Just be happy and embrace it. Good luck xoxo
• Okay, get a empty notebook. And even though this may sound really boring. Your going to have to track your calories. Make sure you have the same amount or close to the same amount of calories everyday. Also make sure you have a bit of all the food groups in your meals. ( Grains, Dairy, Fruit & Vegetables, and Meat and Alliterative. Also it doesn''t hurt to add some snacks in between your meals.
  
  Hope this helped!
  
  Good Luck! :)
• When ur... skinny u dont really have anything on the internet that shows you how to put on weight. dont worry about. if ur not harming urself on purpose, then enjoy the skinnyness.
  
  This has happened to me. im lazy and when i sit down, dont expect me to get up easily. My friends always wonder how i do it. I eat so much fattie food im personally sort of scared the fattie food will catch up with me when i hit 30 ;-;
• Like the other person said, start tracking your calories. Try signing up for a website or app called My fitness pal. It''s a much easier way to track calories and how much calories you''re burning through exercise.
  Try eating foods high in good fats, like natural peanut butter or avocado. I don''t think you''re losing weight from your exercise so you''re either not eating as much as you think or you aren''t eating balanced meals.
