I would see a doctor first thing.  If you are sexually active be honest with your doctor.  See what your doctor recommends for a diet.  They have diet plans.  Ask your doctor to recommend an exercise ( I would think any cardiovascular, example: bicycling, swimming) If you diet do not stop eating.  Eat a healthy well balanced meal and every meal.  I would drink plenty of water to flush your body and maintain your metabolism.  Your doctor may recommend smaller portions.  Cut out any junk foods.  Eat a a good breakfast, good lunch, and light dinner.  When you sleep your body shuts down so you aren't digesting at a normal rate.  If you need snacks I would recommend fruits or vegetables.

I have been trying to gain weight for like 4 years and I finally am now- do this,\ncount how many calories you eat in a normal day, the next day increase it by 500 or more, do that for the week, and increase it by another 500 the next week. \nDrink boost plus, you can get it at a cvs or walgreens, the vanilla flavor is the best. Drink 3 a day but DONT skip any meals. Drink lots of water and get lots of sleep. \nBut most of all, I think the boost plus' helps most\ngood luck\n\nas for how fast, if you want to gain 20 lbs im guessing like 2 months, healthily

No, you are probably active and have a high metabolism. Try cutting out an activity each day and adding one full meal to your schedule instead. You'll gain weight.

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.

Do what your trainer says. Fast weight loss IS NOT GOOD FOR YOUR BODY, and see a nutritionist too.

Eat high calorie foods like starches.\nDrink protein shakes.

Bets,\n\nA part of the reason why you gained weight is because your metabolism slowed down.  This is typical of college students (going from teens to 20s).\n\nJust bump up your cardio to burn off what you drink.\nLift weights to make your body denser.

Talk to your Dr. and a nutritionist for a specialized meal plan. In the mean time, eliminate fast food, fried food, sweets and candies and instead eat fruits, vegetables, fish and lean meat like turkey. That and some normal exercise like walking, will definitely help shed those pounds. \n\nBest wishes on your endeavors!\n\nDo NOT rush into heavy cardio before talking to your Dr. \nNo offense but at your weight you should have a proper check up first.

That is not a good way to control weight gain, it is abusive to your system. Yes, i think it will, but it is ill-advised. Try diet and exercise.

Change your eating habits and your diet. Cut out all the junk foods, sodas and unhealthy snacks if you eat them. If you have a snack, make it a piece of fruit or yogurt, or jello. Make sure you have something for breakfast always, you could have  a salad with a piece of fruit or yogurt for lunch and then have dinner. Drink lots of water. Trim most of the fat off meats and remove the skin from poultry. Take your time when you eat so that your brain has time to signal when you are full. I'm not joking. If you eat in a hurry you are overeating and by the time you feel full you have actually eaten too much. If you don't walk a lot, go for a one half hour walk 3 times a week. In addition to walking, you can also exercise at home for 20 mins. several times a week, do this on the days you are not walking. The exercise does not have to be strenuous exercises (such as lifting weights), just firming and toning ones. Once you lose the weight you want to, don't go back to your old eating habits. Once you lose the weight you want to, you can modify your walking or exercise but don't give it up completely. If you go back to your old routine and diet because you think you have solved the problem, your weight will most likely return.

FIRST ! calm down. Second, just eat something that you can eat, that has a lot of calories. Don't worry, im flipping skinny too :]. Well, im a girl, but whatever. Just eat something you can fit into your stomach, and don't stuff yourself, eat something with A lot of calories, A lot.  \n\nWeight Gain \n\n1) Count how many calories you eat in a normal day. Don't change anything, just eat like you normally would and count how many calories you consumed. This is an extremely important step, so try to be as exact as possible. Also, weigh yourself. 2) Starting the day after you counted calories, eat 500 calories MORE then you normally do. So, lets pretend that the day you counted calories you counted 2000. For the rest of the week, you would now eat 2500 calories a day. Instead of eating 3 big meals a day or eating all day all the time, spread those calories out over 5-6 smaller meals. Eat one meal every 2 and a half to 3 hours. To get big, you have to eat big! Remember that. 3) Weightlifting! Get in the gym and lift! This is another important step to how to gain weight, so make sure you are doing it correctly. For more information on weightlifting workout routines and splits, read the workout routines and splits section. 4) At the end of that week, weigh yourself. You'll notice your gaining just after one week! Now, don't expect to see a 10lb increase. Gaining anymore then 1 or 2 pounds a week is unhealthy and means your putting on way to much fat. So look for 1 or 2 pound gains at the end of the week. Don't sound like much? You can be gaining 5-8 pounds a month! 5) Heres an important one. At some point, you will stop seeing weight gain. At this point, you will have to eat even more. So, when you stop gaining for at least 2 weeks, it means it is time to start eating an extra 250 calories a day. Every time you see you haven't gained weight for at least 2 weeks, add an extra 250 calories. More tips for how to gain weight (extremely important!) - Stay away from fat! Eventhough weight gain is your goal, you don't want to be gaining fat. Get rid of the chips and candy. No more fast food, nothing fried. Stick to high protein low fat foods like tuna fish (and other seafood), chicken breast, turkey, lean meats, fruits and vegetables etc. (For more information, read the diet and nutrition section. - WATER! Drink water! Drink around a half gallon a day, more if you can. Yes thats alot of water, but its that water that will give you the energy you need to gain that weight! - Sleep! YES! Sleep! The easiest, yet most over looked step. Get atleast 8 hours of sleep a night. Your gonna need it! Now the concern some people have about how to gain weight, is how to do it without putting on extra fat. Let me tell you how, YOU CAN'T! Unless you are using steroids, it is basically impossible to gain weight without putting on a little bit of extra fat. But hey, you want to see some weight gain right? Well then who cares about the little bit of extra fat you might put on while gaining. You will be able to burn that off later on, right now gaining is your main concern, so that is all you need to worry about.

Don't use diet drugs.  Some can have very adverse affects on your heart and other vital organs.  Change your eating habits to a sensible healthy diet with appropriate proportions and EXERCISE.  Everyone wants the easier faster way, but the weight doesn't usually stay off.  You gotta work for it if you want it.

Pass out little debbie cakes to all of them and tell them all to eat something!!!!  Just kidding sweetie.  I actually used to be really really big and recently lost 87 pounds.  I don't really like outside kind of exercises because I feel like everyone is watching me so I dance all the time to my radio at home.  And I dont eat until i am full anymore.  I stop eating when I don't feel hungry anymore.  Plus I drink water constantly all day long.  It helps to flush out your body so you lose weight faster. I hope this helps you sweetie and Good Luck!! (NO SODA!!!! it is really bad on your kidneys and lowers your metabolism)\nBut if u r really only 10 years old...then u shuldn't be worried about your weight right now.  Just enjoy your childhood sweet-heart!  Live Life Happy...that's why God put us here!

Eat smart.\n\nThe way to do it is not eat high calorie foods. You want to add weight, not turn into a slob.\n\nHow old are you? That is not mentioned. If you are still growing, time will catch up with you on that.\n\nContinue to eat in a smart way, just increase the amount you eat (slowly, you don;t want to get a tummy doing it this way)
