Why this weight gain shake for women works
It is important to realise that a women’s weight gain plan is different to a man’s.
Because for women your natural body shape is very important
The reason is that your body tends to put on weight first in places that come most natural.
Hence if you want to gain weight & get a nice shape then a weight gain plan for women need to reflect this.
Taking the elements in turn:
Element 1 – Extra Calories
Weight Gain shakes are very, very effective
The key advantage of using shakes or smoothies (as opposed to just eating lots) is that:
So you don’t have to worry about calorie counting, changing what you eat, etc.
- The best shakes will contain exactly the right level & type of calories
- That are quickly absorbed into your body
- And are very quick & easy to make.
But don’t drink protein shakes
If you just want to gain weight then you need to use the shakes for extra calories and not for protein.
This is very important because many ‘so called’ weight gain shakes are designed for people who are training in the gym and simply don’t have the right type of ingredients if you just want to fill out and ‘look less thin’.
That is why it’s so important to use the right type of shake that it contains exactly the right type of extra calories to help you gain weight.

Element 2 – Convert these into extra weight
In addition the way your body convert food into extra weight has a major impact on your results.
Generally speaking the healthier your lifestyle (plenty of fresh fruit & veg, water, etc.) the better your absorption rates.
Boosting absorption can often be the fastest way to gain weight – either by changing your lifestyle or adding specialised tablets.
Which is why the shakes we use – in addition to extra calories – are also crammed full of vitamins & minterals.
Element 3 – The right exercise for your Body Shape Type
This is where a weight gain plan for women is different from a man’s one.
If you want to gain weight & also get a great shape then you need to use a plan designed for your natural shape.
There are 3 Body Shapes for Women:
- Upper – When you gain weight it will appear in your Face, neck, chest and waist – but you might still have skinny legs
- Lower – You are at danger of gaining it on hips and thighs and not your upper body i.e. thin arms
- Proportionate – Where you will gain weight all over.
How to get a great shape
The starting point in the weight gain plan for women is to identify your natural shape – which is often based on genetics (i.e. looking at the shape of your mother or grandmother sometimes helps)
If you are not sure then the easy option is to start following a weight gain diet plan – and then add the right type of exercise if and when needed.
