For starters increase your dietary intake of good carbs and protein. I like the nytrowhey for hard gainers. Great stuff. Also creatine definately works great\nThe quickest way to put on weight(good weight) is a combination of weight training, supplementation, rest and diet. Everyday make sure you get ample rest 9 hours at least. Join a gym and get start training hard, this will increase your appetite for food. Get down 6 or more meals a day filled with red meat, chicken, vegetables and some carbs. Whether it be potatoes, rice, pasta, don't be scared of the carbs. Use a weight gainer such as Universal Nutrition Muscle Juice, along with creatine and Universal Animal Pak. Consistency as in anything else in life will bring results. You will look and feel great using this method. Remember muscle is heavier than fat, and more visibly appealing, so rather than just eating alone weight train, supplement, diet, and rest

Hey, if you need to put on some healthy weight, you should consider eating 5 times a day of foods that consist of high protein. 5 meals sounds like a lot but you can substitute 2 of them #2 & #4 with a protein shake. I would also go to the nearest nutri-shop and look into purchasing some weight builder shakes. Those combined with working out should make you gain mass and muscle.

Eat cooked egg whites. Any kind. After a few days they will get rid of your appetite and they are a good source of protein. Next start your exercise program. You might want to start walking at least 30 minutes a day and work your way up to more. Consider lifting weights. They will help burn calories and you will build muscle. Keep it up and before you know it you'll look and feel great. Good luck.

It will take you a bit longer than 20 days to gain good weight like lean body tissue (Muscle). Try setting a reallistic goal like 3 to 6 months. \n\n\nFat on the other hand, just go to Burger Whopper and chow but you will not like the type of weight that you gain from that.

There is a healthy way to gain weight.  If you want to gain weight increase you're carb intake.  A favorite of mine is to eat just whole grain bread with a lot of peanut butter on it.  It contains a lot of carbs and protein, and not a lot of fat.  Also you could eat any number of carbs, make sure they are whole grains, like brown rice of whole wheat bread and such.  Don't be concerned with getting fat, but if you work out and haven't increased your calorie intake that could be thinning you out.  Take in like 3000-3500 calories per day if you are trying to gain weight.  Cottage cheese is a good source of protien and good fat.  Tuna fish is loaded with protein and essential fatty acids.  You would do well with red meat like beef that has a lot of protein and fat.  Lean meats that are high in protein are chicken breast and turkey.  Either one will help with lean mass.  Stay away from empty carbs like potato chips or candy because you'll be on here asking how to lose weight in a few months.  All in all thought load up on protein, not fat.  I personally take in one gram or protein per pound of body weight.  It is tough to achieve unless you take some sort of protein supplement which are relatively cheap and 100% safe.  The is no such thing as too much protein.

HOW TO GAIN WEIGHT HEALTHFULLY \n\n1. Eat consistently. Every day, have three hearty meals plus one to three additional snacks. Do NOT skip meals! You'll miss out on important calories that you need to accomplish your goals.\n\n2. Eat larger than normal portions. Instead of having one sandwich for lunch, have two. Eat three potatoes at dinner, instead of only two. Have a taller glass of milk, bigger bowl of cereal, larger piece of fruit. \n\n3. Select higher calorie foods. Read food labels to determine which foods have more calories than an equally enjoyable counterpart. \n\n4. Drink lots of juice and milk. Beverages are a simple way to increase your caloric intake, quench your thirst with calorie.\nHowever, remember that drinking water is important too as it gives you the energy to gain weight.\n\n 5. Do strengthening exercises (weight lifting, push-ups) to stimulate muscular development so that you bulk-up instead of fatten up. Some underweight people are afraid exercise will result in weight loss rather than weight gain. If that is your case, remember that exercise tends to stimulate the appetite; you will want to eat more. (Yes, exercise may temporarily "kill" your appetite right after a hard workout, but within a few hours, you will get hungry.) Exercise also increases thirst; you will easily be able to drink extra juices.\n\n\n6. (extremely important!)  Stay away from bad fat! Even though weight gain is your goal, you do not want to be gaining fat and eating junk. Get rid of the chips and candy. No more fast food, nothing fried. Stick to high protein, low (saturated) fat foods like tuna fish (and other seafood), chicken breast, turkey,  rice, pasta, fruits and vegetables, nuts.\n\nGOOD LUCK\nHaya

How much weight are you talking about. I mean 5 pound 100 pounds. I can promise you that you can lose it quicker then you gained it. It sounds like you are being unrealistic with this 10 day thing.

Believe or not, eat more often.  Try this for 3 weeks.  Cut out soda pop, fruit juices and sports drinks.  Eat a bowl of oatmeal or whole grain cereal with 1% milk for breakfast, an apple or some kind of healthy snack around 10:30, have a salad with low fat dressing, or tuna salad, etc., for lunch, a granola bar for an afternoon snack, and a healthy dinner.  Strive for portions no bigger than your fist, limit you fat calories to less than 30 Grams per day, and walk, lift weights, or something for 30 minutes a day.

Add three cans of Ensure or Boost to your present diet.  \n\nAnd/or, eat five meals a day rather than three.  Or three meals and two substantial snacks.  Exercise.  (Muscle weighs more than fat.)  Pick up some French fries at McDonalds on your way through town to eat while you are driving.\n\nUse whole milk, real butter, and eat plenty or rice, potatoes, bread, and pasta.\n\nI wish I were you!

fruit is my pick during the day..but be sure to eat it on an empty stomach and do not eat anything else for at least an hour..don't overdo it on the fruit..fruit digests quickly...other foods don't so you need to eat it alone..if you eat it with slow digesting foods it will sit in the stomach with them and ferment causing toxins and weight gain..eat fresh or frozen fruit..check a book for the lowest calories.......as for vegies..eat fresh or frozen..carrots are full of sugar..try dipping broccoli or cauliflower..i have much more to share...i lose weight and eat healthy..

Try this healthy eating plan and increase activity. See how this goes!\n\nIf you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - multigrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

You NEED to be 97?  Honey, you NEED to rethink that.  If you're 5'5" you need to gain 5 pounds, actually, maybe 15 pounds.

carbohydrates, carbohydrates and carbohydrates. If you can do some muscle building exercise, u will gain weight, because muscle is lot heavier than fat. AND if you move a little bit (not cardio, because it causes weight loss) u will be hungry even better.\n\nbut: there is an another extreme solution if you already eat a lot...\nTry to eat as less as u can for a week or two. At this period, your body will recognize that there is a calory intake deficit, and will store more energy. If u eat a lot, but cannot gain weight, your metabolism is too fast. If u try to eat only a few for one-two weeks, your system will slow down the metabolism to store fat as energy. After one-two weeks eat a lot again, and your body will stroe a lot more than before because of the slower metabolism.
