Tips for Gaining WeightThe main goal is to increase your overall intake of calories every day, but it doesn't really matter if you eat more meals or increase the size of the meals you eat right now. If you're not used to eating much at any one time, you may prefer to eat several small meals or snacks throughout the day. If you'd rather eat less often, increase your portion sizes or add more foods to each meal.It might take a while to gain the weight you want, but be patient and continue to choose foods that are good for you until you reach your goal weight. Foods that are both energy- and nutrient-dense include legumes, nuts, seeds, olives, and avocados. It helps to increase your consumption of dairy products, meats, seafood and poultry, too. Here are more tips to get you started:Have an extra slice of whole grain toast with peanut butter at breakfast.Add extra cheese to an omelet.Slice an apple and serve with peanut or nut butter.Stir chopped nuts into plain yogurt and top with honey.Carry a bag of trail mix for a convenient snack.You can increase your protein intake (and calories) with protein bars.Serve yourself larger portions of starchy vegetables like potatoes and sweet corn.Add calories with a nutritious beverage such as milk, 100-percent fruit juices, or vegetable juice.Your meals should be balanced with the right amounts of protein, carbohydrates and fat. Choose a generous portion of meat, poultry, fish, seafood, legumes or tofu, and serve with a side of green and colorful vegetables. Add a serving of starchy foods such as potatoes, sweet corn, rice or pasta as energy-dense carbohydrate sources. Add a few more calories to plain potatoes with gravy, and top your vegetables and starches with butter, margarine (trans-fat free), olive oil, sauces or cheese.If you prefer to snack on smaller meals throughout the day, choose energy-dense foods, such as trail mix made with dried fruit, granola, nuts and seeds. Eat sandwiches made with peanut or other nut butters, or use lean turkey or chicken breast slices and add calories with cheese or avocado. Creamed soups are generally higher in calories than clear broths, and you can add even calories to by adding a spoonful of dry milk powder.Dietary Supplements?You might be tempted to buy dietary supplements for bodybuilding that promise weight gain and bigger muscles. Some of these products may contain hidden ingredients that can be harmful or compounds that haven't been studied for efficacy or safety. The United States Food and Drug Administration maintains a list of tainted bodybuilding products that should be avoided.If you feel you can't gain weight by simply increasing your caloric intake, you should see your health care provider before taking any protein or weight-gaining supplements.Resistance training exercises (weight lifting) may help to increase your muscle size, which will increase your body weight. Aerobic exercises, such as running and stationary bicycling, are better for fat loss and excessive aerobic training may cause you to lose more weight. Resistance training can be done at a health club, gym, or at home with the proper equipment.

Please someone help me out ?

I have let myself go in the past, health wise and stuff, but I have recently started exercising and eating healthy, and no matter what I eat or how hard i work out and for how long I am not losing any body fat at all. My thighs touch when I am standing, and my stomach is way flabby.My body fat condition is causing it so I am depressed. I need some good thigh fat and belly fat workouts that actually work fast. Even diet suggestions. And I have noticed that I find myself thinking that I feel gross after eating even just a salad and I want to puke it up. I have never done it, i have learned about the bad effects of it and stuff but can just thinking it be an onset of the eating disorder? Sorry if this questions doesn''t make a lot of sense..

Is It Possible To Lose Weight Fast?

Recommended Answer:
You don''t lose fat with exercise. You lose it with proper eating habits.

Any exercise will burn calories but no exercise will burn fat unless your diet allows it. You can burn fat in your sleep or you can run all day and never burn any fat. It all depends on your diet.

Fat loss is determined by calorie control, not by exercise. Good exercises for burning calories are speed walking, biking, swimming, dancing, etc. and ANY other physical activity which makes you move a lot of weight for a long time. But NO exercise is good for burning fat if you eat too many calories because you can always eat more calories than you can burn but you can''t always burn as many as you take in.

Too many people waste energy and time because they do not understand this one simple point. The result is too often giving up in frustration, abandoning gym memberships they continue to pay for, and many other unnecessary problems not the least of which is a lack of success.

An average person must walk about five miles every day for a week to burn the calories equivalent to a pound of body fat. So, unless you think walking about five miles a day (or doing an equivalent amount of exercise) with no guarantee of fat loss makes sense, focus your fat loss program on diet.

Diet for fat loss. Exercise for fitness.

When you are in a fat loss mode and burning body fat, it is your body (based on your genetics) and only your body that determines where that fat loss will happen. You have absolutely no control over where your body loses fat first, last, and in between no matter what you do.

It is not possible to lose fat only from a specific part of your body of your choosing. Where your body stores and removes fat is determined by your genetics and there is nothing you can do to change that short of radical procedures such as liposuction. And, in general, where it stores fat first is where it will lose it last and visa versa. The world of health and fitness has an unfortunate abundance of myths and spot reduction is one of them. There is no exercise, no pill, no supplements, no spa treatment, and no natural way to spot reduce. Your only choice is to create a caloric deficit with diet and exercise, burn fat, and wait for it to leave the desired body parts.

PS: Here are some good websites you may find useful.
• A MUST FOR DIETERS http://www.freedieting.com/
• BEST DIET TOOL ON THE WEB http://www.myfitnesspal.com/
• BEST FOODS FOR YOU http://www.choosemyplate.gov/index.html
• NUTRITION DOT GOV http://www.nal.usda.gov/food-and-nutrition

  • 25 min minimum of cardio a day, if possible move it up to 40 min, even just walking, you can move up to a faster pace as you move on. When doing exercises like sit-ups, squats or pushups, you want to do several reps of a few at a time, it''s better than doing a bunch at one time, helps build your endurance as well. Living Fuel is a great supplement to add to your diet, and the protein as well, even my toddler takes it daily, I took it for 5 yrs before I was pregnant and was told I had no need for any pills or supplements during my pregnancy, needless to say my doctor was shocked. If you enjoy pasta, look for brands at Walmart that are wheat and gluten free and made from veggies (it''s what my mother uses). Replace junk food with apples, grapes, or crackers with peanut butter, almond butter or sunflower butter. Replace all bread with sourdough bread (it''s the best for you). Instead of eating raw veggies, steam them slightly til they are blanched, their much easier to digest.
  • I totally understand how you feel. Don''t worry there''s a solution. Im doing a program right now. You need to know that you should train a lot . Maybe you aren''t just eating right things and workouts. I''ve lost 10 pounds in the last 2 mouths because of this:

    Workout;
    Swimming 3 times a week ( an hour each time.)
    Squat (50 ) each day
    Jumping rope 20 minutes/ everyday

    Eating

    Drink only water= 2 l / day
    Smalls portions
    Alot of vegetables
    I don''t really have a diet but
    I always eat smalls portions and avoid every thing fat

    Always workout at night after your last meal
    Or even in the morning if you can.
    Dont skip meals


    I do it because I''m a tri-athlon program .
    You don''t have to stress with how you look.
    I know it sounds clichey but the important is what''s inside.

    Hope it helps

Now I need to lose five!!!

Have you ever had one of these days?

Easy Ways to Lose Weight and Burn Excess Fat Safely

Recommended Answer:
Absolutely have had one of those days. I used to be obsessed with the numbers on the scale and took that as a key to whether or not I was making progress. Problem is (and I'm sure you heard this and thought it was bs) lb for lb muscle takes up less space than fat. Your body also burns more calories to maintain that muscle than it does fat. If you've been working out, eating right and people are seeing a difference, you are probably losing fat and developing muscle at the same time. Check out the picture on this link. http://www.onemorebite-weightloss.com/muscle-to-fat.html
and whatever you do don't give up. I wouldn't see a change and I would give up and have a 5-10lb yo yo going, but now I'm finally making progress that I can see. Give yourself at least 8weeks. Good luck :)

  • Well you probably do look better than if people are saying that you are.
  • If you look better don't gain more weight
  • Talk to 3 trusted people, that will tell you the truth, and ask them what you should do :)
