A lot of people ask me how to gain weight or trick/ recipe to get a substantial weight gain. The truth is that genetic have a lot to do with it, and most people will never get over 500 Lbs. But over the years, of dieting and reading on how the body works, I did learn a thing or two.
Now a disclaimer: You should not gain weight on purpose and it is a hazard to your health. No matter how much effort you put into it, it will most likely lead to a shorter lifespan or health problems.
Now that said let’s get to the juicy part.
2 things are important for weight gain:
How much calories you eat:
This is the simple part, eat a lot and you will see gains. Now by a lot I don’t mean by your standards, more then you usually eat might not be enough.
- For a man, the base calorie intake is around 2100 Cal. a day
- For a woman, the base calorie intake is around 1900 Cal. a day
If you are at your healthy weight and don’t exercise to hard, you should see gains if you constantly get over that threshold.
How much calories you burn:
Now that is the hard part to understand. The quantity of calories you burn everyday vary with your age, lifestyle and overall health. So, to over simplify it, if you are a healthy 18-year-old women that go to the gym everyday you should be able to eat as much as 2300 Cal. a day and not even gain weight. Same thing on the other side, if you are a sedentary 35 y/o men you might see weight gain at 1900 Cal.
Tips to slow down your body system/ digestive system:
- Eat only when you are starving
- Eat just before you sleep
- Wait at least 6 hour to eat when you wake up
Augmenting your stomach capacity is a process, there’s not easy way to do it quickly. Stuffing too hard can make you sick and will be demoralizing and harmful in the long run.
The only way I found is to drink water to the maximum capacity of your stomach and push a little more every time you do it. I can’t say if it works or not to be completely honest, but it’s the way eating contest people do it.
If you want to stay healthy there is some rule you need to follow and they suck! >.<
- And cut trans fats as much as possible
All that good bread, potatoes and pasta will get you sick if you stuff on em and I don’t mean barf sick, I mean diabetes/high blood pressure/cholesterol sick. Of course, you can eat some in your diet but as little as possible would be the best.
- But good fat, coconut oil, avocado, olive oil and all that jazz. That should be the places you get most of your calories.
- Yup a lot of veggies to help digesting all that fat
- Can eat meat, if it’s not between 2 slices of bread.
- Seeds too are a good calorie intake
- Can use some honey to season stuff, but try to still avoid it as much as possible
- Fake sugar is good, somehow it makes you gain more weight, not sure I understand why… maybe I’m wrong.
Now even if it slow down the gaining process try to do some exercise everyday, nothing crazy but just enough to get you out of breath 3 time in a row. It will help you stay in good health.
Maybe I’m doing this all wrong but that’s how I do it, feel free to comment or add to this, I love to learn more everyday
