Gaining weight is not a mere problem...?

Hi,\n\n     I know how it hurts when people tease you about how thin you look. Beleive me i was in the same category as you, i was very thin that you could count the number of bones in my body. \n\nThe reason for this my friend is very simple, our metabolism rates are very high. And yes as you said eating a lot does not help as well, and yes if we try too much we will end up with a big tummy. \n\nI will tell you what i did, see if ti helps you. First of all no taking up any artificial weight gainers and stuff, because if by any chance you gain weight from them and bloat up it is very hard to get back in shape as normally the supplements is taken without proper knowledge will affect the hormone system.\n\nTake care of what you eat, incorporate foods containing lots of proteins, vitamins and minerals. Don't overeat carbs and fat as they won't help you much because of your metabolism rates. And to know about proteins, vits and minerals you need not be a doc, check the nutrition chart on every pack. \n\nExercise is very important, maybe going to gym should help, but again it will take time before you start to slowly gain weight, also while exercising make sure you give a lot of rest between every exercise you do otherwise you will be over training because your metabolism rate is too fast. So patience is very important, but beleive me, if you gain weight slowly it is not dangerous for you and will be maintained even if you don't exercise for aometime due to commitments.\n\nHope this helps you, if you want any further discussion on this mail me. All the best and don't worry about people teasing you because they are doing a big mistake by under estimating you.

I agree, weight is not as important as fitness and health.  People can have a low weight and look bigger because they have flab, or have a higher weight and look great because it's all muscle.

Definitely, go the route of muscle weighs more than fat.  Gaining weight because you are all muscle is healthier and a heck of a lot more attractive than just being fat and not caring about your health.

If you eat right, and stay physically fit and active then right now your weight shouldn't be an issue.\n\nI've tried to list some of the government nutrition sites that might further help you with your question.

----------------->Theres the healthy way.........\n\nHow 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

That sounds pretty ridiculous. As long as you're not gaining weight this shouldn't be a problem.

No your not, don't take that stuff... is it worth screwing yourself over in the long run... just gain weight the old fashion way... eat eat eat and when you cant eat any more, EAT... eat every chance you can like eight meals a day... they don't even have to be big... and then if you really wanna gain weight you will because you will stick with it!!

i also wish to put on weight its just not fair everything is about fat people wanting to loss weight. it is harder to put on weight than lose it. i have tried weight gainers if taken properly they can work or if you build muscle it can fill you out a bit, eat big meals and eat a lot before you go to bed.

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

Most people who are happily married do tend to gain weight.  It is kind of like the freshmen college weight gain most people experience.

I think being concerned about health is good, but we seem to be obsessed with our weight.  Skinny does not always equal healthy.  This is the lesson we should learn.  It's possible to be a little on the overweight side, but also be healthy.  As long as we have a healthy diet and are exercising regularly, we shouldn't worry about anything else.

Take in more calories than you give out from things like exercise. Basically, eat more than you need to, enough to keep with you even with exercise, and you'll gain weight. If you want a real plan, ask your doctor.
