Weightgain 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?
