Eat a balanced diet. If you cram in too much sugar and carbs you will only make your internal system go crazy and get weaker. You need to maintain a sensible pattern of eating but increase the calorie content. That is the key. Eat your maximum number of calories a day; eat them with foods that also give you protein (to build muscle mass which equals more concentrated weight and bulk); eat with three good meals a day; lift some weights to build mass.

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

Wow.  You don't hear people asking about that a lot.  I'm not sure there's any way to gain weight that could be considered particularly "healthy", but including more carbohydrates & fats in your diet will theoretically do the trick.  It's not necessarily healthy, though, if you're already eating a balanced diet and getting all the nutrients you need.\n\nThere are nutritional supplements at health food stores (like GNC) that are targeted to people who want to gain weight and/or muscle mass.  Some of these aren't good for you, so do your research before you buy a product.\n\nIf you do strength training exercises, this should also increase your weight without harming your health.  Muscle weighs more than fat, so you'll remain relatively lean while bulking up a bit.\n\nTalk to your doctor, though.  His or her advice is very valuable, particularly if you are truly underweight.

Wish I had your metabolism LOL.  I just look at food and gain weight.  Ok well best suggestion is to go to a health food store and talk to someone there they should be able to recommend something or like a vitamin health store is what I meant to say.

This cannot happen in a few days.\n\nExercise to build up your muscles, and talk to a nutritionist (or go online) to get a good regimen that will help you gain some weight.\n\nPeople who are thin or fat can be in good OR poor health - these things don't necessarily correlate to each other.

If you have the time, jogging for about 20mins twice or three time weekly is good enought. If you dont have the time, just running on the spot everyday for 10 mins can also help. Besides that, you also should watch your diet, avoid too much carb foods, eat more fibre rich stuff like beans, veg and fruits and drink lots of water, while remember to cut down on sugar,especially sweet drinks after meals, which is the main culprit to weight gain becos, excess sugar in the body is converted to fat and that means it will make you gain weight. Happy dieting...

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.

Even when you want to gain weight, your calories should come from foods that are good for you.\n\n- Cut out empty calorie foods such as sugary snacks and white flour foods. Breads, pastas and cereals should come from whole grains.\n- Good sources of protein include organic meats, fish, and organic poultry.\n- Drink protein-rich beverages (e.g. milk-based fruit shakes).\n- Have fruit juices between meals.\n- Munch on nuts and seeds, which are high in calories and many other nutrients.\n- Increase the number of meals per day to 5 or 6 small balanced meals.\n\nProtein powders and shakes can be added as meals. Some are flavored and only need added water and some others can blended with water or your choice of juices to improve the taste. It would be a plus to add a small amount of flax seed oil and some psillium powder to add some healthy fiber. \n\nYou may find these sites helpful:\nhttp://www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/Handouts/pdfs/gaining_weight.pdf\nhttp://www.suplimednutrients.com/articles/healthy-weight-gain.php\n\nGood luck...

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.

Ask your doctor to give you a referral to a Dietician.  They will give you a specialized diet plan to help you gain weight the proper way. Make sure you eat 3 good meals a day and 3 good snacks in between.  Junk food will put weight on you but not the kind you need!

I'm trying to gain weight right now too.  I lost a bunch of weight when I had the flu this winter.  I'm muscular and in good shape, just a little thin.  Here's what is working for me:\n\nLots of protein.  Peanut butter, eggs, anything with loads of protein.  You can also try protein shakes, but be sure to get one low in sugar.  Some of them have LOADS of sugar.\n\nLift weights.  I hate lifting weights, so I do pushups and pullups, anything to build muscle.\n\nRun.  Or do anything the works out your cardiovascular system.  If you don't, all of the protein that you are consuming can quickly turn to fat and not muscle.

These are some points, which would help in increasing your weight:\n\nEating: The first important point to increase your weight is to eat well. Eat more than you burn calories. Eating food, which contains more fat is good for people who are thin. Drinking milk, cheese, chicken meat etc are some foods, which contain more fat.\n\nExercise: Most people think that thin people should not exercise, as they could get even thinner. But it is recommended that they exercise so that they feel hungrier and eat more. Taking nutritious food would help the body gain weight. Do not lift heavy weight dumbbells in a gym; instead opt for low weight and do more repetitions.\n\nThere are lots of weight gain supplements available in the market, but they are not recommended. Instead have good amount of protein-enriched foods, fruits and products, which contain more fat. Eating lots of protein and fat, as it is very helpful in increasing your weight. So why wait! Start NOW.

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.
