Biscuits are all carbs.  You need to cut down on carbs if you want to lose weight.

SOUTH BEACH!! cut out or limit carbs (bread, pasta, potatoes, fruit juice and sugar) and you will start seeing results. the diet has 3 phases and the first one is the most strict, in the second you introduce carbs back into ur diet, and the third phase is just the rest of your life. after you see the changes in your body, you wont want to eat the foods that make you gain weight... and it doesnt cost much, just the price of the book.. i really recommend it, GOOD LUCK!!

Eating junk food when you are bored is the NUMBER 1 way to gain weight. Cause you probably eat it late at night which is even worse. Get a hobby model cars, read (I know boring), watch movies, chat with someone interesting online. Time goes by fast that way.

The answer is not cheesecake or junk food!\n\nIf you want to gain weight, the best weight to gain is muscle. It weighs more than fat and is better for you health-wise. \n\nIf you go into a gym like 24 hr fitness, they'll endorse protein supplements, but this is not necessary. I gained roughly 15 pounds of muscle without it. And, I've heard that once you start using it, your body relies more and more on it.\n\nWhat I did was work out regularly. I loved the gym and was in there every day. I don't think going every day is necessary. It's also good to complement your weight training with some cardio. Many trainers will say not to do more than 30 minutes if you are underweight and trying to gain, but I liked to be able to have some endurance so I would do as much as an hour without any problems. If you've never been in a gym before or aren't familiar with the equipment, find a friend that is knowledgeable and ask him/her to show you how to use it. It is important to know the correct ways to lift and what NOT to do to avoid injuries - some injuries take years to develop so it is important to proceed with caution! When in doubt, ask questions first.\n\nTo bulk up, you want to do less reps with higher weight/resistance. (To tone you do many reps at lower weights)\n\nI think as you become more active, you'll find that you can eat more. You'll burn it pretty fast anyway, but it is still important to have a balanced diet.

I can assure you that the reason you started to gain and have "never before and been able to eat anything you want to" results in the fact that you exhert less energy now then before.  Here is a good rule of thumb when eating food: 80% of weight loss is the foods you are eating, if you can't hit it on the head or pull it out of the ground, you should not be eating it. (ie,meats and vegetables are good for you).  The greener the vegetable the better it is for you.  Eat sweet potatoes instead of white, whole wheat grains, instead of processed white bread, rice and so forth.  But remember this above all else. . .YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

If you want to gain weight by eating dairy products they need to be full fat rather than skim based. Reason is that they contain more calories. You can also look at other alternatives to dairy such as nuts. Weight gain occurs when calories in are greater than calories out. So if you have more than 2000 calories for example and only use 1200 you will gain. \n\nTry having these two snacks to increase weight: \n1) Banana Smoothie w honey - 1 banana/1 tbsp honey/1/2 cup thick creamy natural yogurt/ 1/4 cup milk - mid morning\n2) have 20 nuts a day - arvo\n\nGood luck!

If you take diet pills on a long term basis you will damage your health. There is no magic solution to weight control. Don't look for a quick fix. Learn how to prepare vegetables properly, and eat lots of them. One meat portion should not be bigger than the size of your palm. Be aware of the salt and fat content of the food you eat. Avoid simple sugars. Become aware of which food makes you feel more hungry. (For example, do certain cookies or chips make you want to keep on eating?) Unless you're buying salad, don't eat fast food . If you do buy a hamburger, don't add cheese and don't eat the fries. (The average fast food meal has more than twice your daily caloric requirement.) It all comes down to choosing healthy foods and limiting portion sizes. Don't go below 1200 calories per day, or your body will go into starvation mode. Starvation mode is our body's way of protecting ourselves from famine, which means it'll be harder to take the weight off and as soon as you start eating more the pounds will come back.  Moderate, regular exercise is the way to go. Find ways to build exercise into your lifestyle. Walking is great, and only requires the right shoes. Eating right is a lifelong adventure. Here's hoping you have a long life.

(Note: get proper diet plan from nutrition expert.)\nTo gain weight, you need not resort to junk food and beer, as, I am sure, your friends will suggest.\nInstead, have properly balanced diet, with protein and vitamin supplements, exercise moderately, and do yoga.

A well balanced diet and regular exercise. Diets don't work as they regularly cause you to gain more weight once you're off them.

you mean weight? You need to add calories to your diet. for people who wants to add weight, they need to eat nutrient dense food (not just full calories like most junk foods and fast food) Be sure is within the normal weight (see basal metabolic index). Consult a nutritionist/dietitian near you.

yogurts and dairy foods definitely do not.  They are healthy foods in moderation, but they actually make people gain more weight.  They are good sources of calcium however.\n\n\nFoods with antioxidants are great, though, as well as certain citrus fruits.\n\nPommegranites, cranberries, and blueberries are the best.  These foods are also great for giving energy, loosing weight, and they help with slowing down the aging process.

How To Gain Weight \n\n\n\nThis one seems like a no-brainer, eh? How do you gain weight? You eat. You cannot gain weight without eating... in the exact opposite of losing weight, actually, you cannot gain weight without consuming more calories than you burn off. \n\nThe bigger question, in our weight-loss worshipping world, is why would you want to gain weight? Fact is that sometimes we become too thin, dangerously so, to the point where we begin to suffer all these negative side effects and eventually death. Sometimes gaining weight is a pretty attractive option by comparison. Being at a healthy weight helps every system of our body function better, allows us to heal from damage, and gives us reserves as protection against stress or illness as well. \n\nThe tougher part of weight-gain is how to do it in a healthy manner. Just as rapid weight-loss can be dangerous, so can rapid weight gain. Many EDs who go through rapid recovery end up with too high a bodyfat percentage, too much fat stored around their internal organs, compromised health, and high cholesterol. This is in part because traditional anorexic "recovery" diets are aimed at bulking up the patient as quickly as possible by fat-loading everything they eat with no thought for the health quality of the food being given. \n\nIt's safer to aim for a gain of one or two pounds a week so as to not put undue stress on your recovering system and to know that you're rebuilding bone, muscle, and nutrient stores instead of just frantically storing fat. It's more important to restore your body's protein, elemental, vitamin, water, fat and sugar balances than to simply send the numbers on the scale up. Once you do this, given sufficient raw materials your body will rebuild itself more strongly. \n\n\n \nIn The Beginning\n\nIf you're deciding to gain weight, odds are it's because you're underweight. If you're underweight, barring a purely illness-related weight-loss problem which should really be addressed by a doctor instead, you have probably not been eating enough. If you haven't been eating enough for a while, your digestive system will need to be retrained. Same goes for extended or extensive purging... it screws with your entire system, and there will need to be plenty of time devoted to patience and healing. \n\nExtended periods of time with insufficient solid food intake causes your entire digestive system to slow down and lose efficiency. Amounts of digestive chemicals in production may drop, and the tiny fingerlike cilia that absorb foods in your small intestine may become paralyzed or die off. The peristaltic muscles that move food through your system may weaken or atrophy. Large meals or a lot of food at once may confuse your stomach and intestines to the point where they cramp up and have trouble remembering what to do at all. All this will need to be repaired slowly, given time to reaccustom itself to the concept of processing and utilizing food again. \n\nStart with liquids. Rehydration is extremely important, since without food our overall water content drops significantly, and the digestive process requires a great deal of water. In the first few days of refeeding you may notice a sudden gain of several pounds... this is most likely, if you're doing everything right, your water balance trying to straighten itself out. You may feel bloated for a while as this happens and it's extremely important that you allow it to take care of itself and do not try to correct it with diuretics; limiting caffeine, which acts as a diuretic, may be a good idea here. Potassium can also act as a mild diuretic but do not try to limit that, as it's an important electrolyte and part of rehydration is bringing your electrolytes back up to a good strong level. You may benefit more from drinking water and juice between meals, instead of with meals, as liquids during meals can make your stomach feel fuller and may slow digestion a bit.

every food you eat can actually make you gain weight, it depends on your metabolism (basal energy expenditure) and the physical activity you do. Nutrition bars frecuently are made low in fat for relieving some hunger or in case of protein bars it adds an extra protein suplement to your diet. If you want to  gain weight you have to increase the daily calory intake in a balanced diet, overcoming your increased metabolism . Also you  have to discard some wasting diseases, consulting your physician (infections, thyroid disorders, etc)
