You have a high metabolism..be careful, it will slow down as you get older..stop eating junk food, eat foods rich in vitamins, minerals, veggies, whole grains, dairy, junk food will screw up your system faster

OK, first of all, you are not overweight. You are tall and weigh what you are supposed to. What you can do is exercise the areas you are not happy with. If you starve yourself or eat very little, you will only slow down your metabolism and gain a bunch of weight once you start eating normally. Don't play games with your health.

I think this is an issue that people don't respect, because so many people focus on trying to lose weight, they can't understand why people can't gain weight.\n\nPossible options:\n\nLift weights, wait till you're older and your metabolism slows down.  \n\nI went to a doctor once for something similiar and didn't get much respect for it.  His suggestions were to eat hamburgers and milkshakes.  I would avoid much dramatic changes in your eating habits, like people who want to lose weight start adjusting slowly how much you eat, and lifting weights will help even if it increases your metabolism because once you build muscles you're less likely to lose them than you would fat if you're metabolism is higher as you suggest.  Good luck, just make sure you don't overdue the weight gain to fast so you're organs can adjust as well as when you are older and your metabolism slows you haven't swung yourself into being overweight.

The type of food doesn't matter. Your body just stores fat from the calories you consume wherever it wants to. If you want more shape behind, you just have to gain a little weight and do some muscle-building exercises.

The only way to gain weight in a halal way is to eat more and probably less exercises. i heard there r pills or some kind of honeys that make u gain weight but u have to adapt a certain diet. It all depends on your life style u might be a person with a high metabolism or it might be something genetic that u cant gain weight cz i know people like that they try there best to gain weight they tried everything and they just cant. Just be thankful for what Allah gave u from good health and leave everything to him.

The SAFER way to gain weight is to eat slightly larger porportions of the food you eat now. By increasing your calorie intake, you will gain some weight, but not a lot like eating a bunch of junk food and sitting around will do.

Ok, the following will assist in weight gain, you need to have 6 meals a day and increase fruit intake & dairy. I don't know what foods you like or can eat but modify, you'll get the idea. Make sure all dairy is full fat not skim. \n\nBreakfast 8am - 2 pieces soy & linseed toast w butter & peanut butter & 1 tub of yoghurt w 5 walnuts & glass of orange juice\nSnack 10.30am - banana smoothie w honey\nLunch 1pm - soy & linseed sandwhich w 2 eggs/50g meat & salad & swiss cheese\nSnack 3.30pm - nut type bar w seaseme seeds, honey & nuts\nDinner 6pm - 1 cup pasta/rice/potatoes side with 200g meat\nSnack 8pm - 2 scoops of ice cream \n\nGood luck!

I'm very much like you - not able to gain much weight, etc. What I have done (I'm 19), is swim (whole-body work-out), and play tennis (really builds your arms), and I run once a day (except on weekends - so that your muscles have a relaxation period where they are able to repair, and build themselves stronger) - the running builds your whole body (especially your legs). Your waist is fine, if you build up the rest of your body. My waist is very small as well. As for dieting, I've been eating eggs, toast, and stuff like sausage, and bacon for breakfast (only eat this kind of stuff if you are planning to work out, because it has a lot of protein in it, which will contribute to your muscle and weight gain only if used through working out), and eat things like a lot of meat, carbohydrates, like pasta is excellent as long as you use it to your advantage, and work out, so that it goes to your muscles, lots of fruits, and vegetables, energy bars with a lot of protein, but low counts of sugar, and milk (for your bones), and lots and lots of water. Make your workout routine different, and exciting (try biking, hiking, mountain climbing, etc.), and just strive your best to eat healthier than you have ever eaten, and you should definitely notice a difference in about 3-4 weeks. Also, if you feel more comfortable, you can join a gym, and work with a personal trainer a couple of times, and they will be able to give you a personalized routine, and diet based on your weight, and muscle mass, etc.\n\nHope this helps, and good luck! :)

Eat a fairly medium breakfast with lots of fiber and eat a small lunch or no lunch(this is just for a month, not forever).\nThen have a light to medium dinner.\nStay low on carbs and fat. That means watch out for:\nchocolate, bananas, bread, candy; Check the label.\nTry not to eat any snacks. If you do eat a snack eat something like Beef Jerky, Fat Free pretzels, applesauce etc.\nExercise for at least 30 minutes continuously by running, swimming, jogging, aerobics, crunches, push ups or something else, it can be simple.\nGo to this website --> mypyramid.gov\nIt will tell you what you need to eat to be healthy\nDon't fall for that excercise 5 hours a day or starve yourself thing.\nIt could hurt you, and not eating can actually make you gain weight, honestly, because when you stop eating, your metabolism rate goes down to adjust to the lack of food. The when you eat again (so you don't die) your metabolism won't go up again, so you gain weight.\nGood luck, be careful!!

Hon, If i could eat and not gain weight, I would eat everything.. Life is to be enjoyed and lived to the fullest. Don`t worry about that kind of stuff. Eat what you want to and savor every bite.. There will come a time when they take all that good stuff away.. (when you are older) You are young, Enjoy life.. Taste what it has to offer.. ONLY then can you grow... Hugs from Texas.. {;-)\n\n<><

To increase your weight, simply go ahead with the junk food.

You should have a medical check up.  hyperthyroidism, diabetes, viruses, malabsorption syndromes, other stuff can cause inability to gain weight with effort.

Cut out ALL fast food, junk food, and anything sweet that's not naturally sweet.\n\nEat low-cal vegetables (potatoes are NOT low-cal and neither are most beans) Eat spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery, brussel sprouts, etc. DO NOT eat them with ANY oil or condiments\n\nEat low fat protein. Ex: chicken, fish, lowfat yogurt, egg whites. DO NOT use oil on them. use herbs to season and use water in the pan to make them not stick\n\nEat at most 2 friuts a day and if you must eat something grainy (bread/pasta) try eating oatmeal instead of bread or pasta\n\nDONT use artificial sweeteners... they SAY no calories but they will still make you gain weight (trust me on this one).\n\nDrink only water, plain tea, or plain coffee. A glass of milk is ok but only one.\n\nCoffee speeds up your metabolism.\n\nSkipping a meal is a good idea too. The whole "your body thinks you're starving and doesn't burn calories" thing is a MYTH! It only does that when you are anorexic.(IF YOU ARE THIN ALREADY DO NOT DO ANY OF WHAT THIS SAYS!!!)\n\nCount your calories. I'm not sure how much you weigh so I can't tell you how many to eat but I do not go over 1000 calories. If you're more than 140 pounds I'd up that number but im not sure to how much...\n\nEXCERCISE!!! Do at least 30 min of hard cardio (i.e. running) EVERY DAY!!!!!\n\nDon't do this for too long though... this is a crash diet and works but don't stay on too long and when you stop, be careful not to binge eat from deprivation.\n\nGood luck and stay safe.

It sounds like you're pretty active.  As long as you eat more than just junk food, you should be fine.  Though I'm sure your fitness would improve if you cut down on it as much as you can.

Look, different people are going to be different sizes.  I'd tell you the same thing that I tell folks who are (or think they are)overweight, but are still healthy.  Trust your body and your appetite.\n\nWork with your mind to clear away the negativity about food, and listen to your body.  It knows what it needs instinctively.  If you're not a big eater, just don't worry about it.  Your body is probably just telling you that it's balanced for your activity level, and that you shouldn't force yourself to eat more than you need.\n\nSome people are more vulnerable to things like diabetes and heart disease than average.  So maybe your body is telling you that at this stage of your life, this is the size you need to be to be healthy.  There may be times when you want to eat more, and times when you want to eat less.  I'll bet you would eat more if your activity level was higher.\n\nHowever, if you notice an imbalance...that your appetite isn't in line with your activity level, and you may start passing out, having skin problems, or other types of malnutrition symptoms, it is your body trying to tell you that something is missing between your appetite signal and what you actually need.\n\nIn that case, you still don't want to force yourself, but you may want to try taking a multivitamin and other supplements to bring things back in line.\n\nThere are also high calorie energy foods that you can eat that will provide what you need without alot of junk.  I don't like much sugar either, so when I was having energy problems but lack of appetite from hypothyroid, I would have a banana with peanut butter, celery with cream cheese, or a packet of those cheese peanut butter crackers.\n\nIf it's the chewing and swallowing that bothers you (I used to have trouble swallowing too), then something liquid like a yoghurt drink or Ovaltine might do the job.\n\nDon't worry about what the jealous have to say about your weight.  You know, even as a fat woman, I sometimes get comments from people because I handle it well and don't let it stop me from doing whatever I want to do.  So just tune the nega-nags out and just live your life.  Your health is your business.

If you eat alot and don't gain any weight then you must need it.  Just be sure you are eating healthy food and not junk.  Junk food will hurt you in the long run.
