Weight gain is more than filling up with
high protein drinks or stocking up on high sugary based snacks.
To achieve your ideal body shape consider 2 key elements:
1. Absorption
It's not what you eat, but what you absorb
that counts.
Negative nutrition affects your ability to
absorb nutrients from food. If you are not absorbing to the max then
you won't be getting the maximum benefit from the food you eat which
will slow down your weight gain. Absorption can be affected by many
factors:
(any of these apply to
you?)
Are
you a smoker?
Coffee
drinker?
Drink
alcohol?
Eat
fast food?
Eat
processed food?
Take
prescription medicine?
Many, many more
2. Your energy
balance
You need to regularly take in more
calories than you burn. Set yourself realistic targets, and aim to
gain gradually as part of a balanced diet, rather than simply eating
more fried foods or unhealthy snacks!
A key consideration is your daily energy
usage:
Your metabolic rate affects how much
you use during the day. The rate varies between people slows with
age.
Your daily activity - does your job
involve physical activity? - this will drain the system.
Or do you take part in sport /
exercise? Sports can often make the situation worse as you can be
draining your system each time you play.
Similarly how much energy do you put
in your system? Skip one meal (or have a poor appetite) then you
start with a negative balance.
To gain weight you need to consume more
calories in an easy to take AND easy to absorb form.
Pre-programmed
weight
It takes many years to develop eating
habits. You need to follow a weight gain program for 90 days for the
body to 'forget' the old and 'get used ' to the new. It is very
important to complete a long term program. Otherwise your body, just
like a spring, will unclasp and be back to its old weight.
"Within the first 14 days I was
feeling much better, with energy to spare, in the first 30 days I
increased my weight by half a stone.
After 90 days of taking the products
my weight had increased to 10st 2lbs."
Ideally we would need to find out little more about you so we can put
a tailored program together for you. No appetite? high metabolism?
Skip meals? Burn energy through sport or your job? Eat lots but just
don't absorb it? Low energy?
