Food Cure Tips:do You Want To Gain Weight?read This by eberejonah(f): 5:35pm On Nov 25, 2013
It's funny to to know that while some are trying to shade the excess weight they have others want to add some weight. Adding weight is not an easy thing. The first thing I know anyone who wants to put on some weight will do is turn to eat lots of fast foods,fried food,cakes,drinks; these food yes will make you add up but you will add at undesired areas like your belly and these type of food also poses a risk to your health. But instead gaining weight in a healthy manner will make you happy, healthy and radiant.

What do you have to do

1.
Proper nutrition
This is the most important aspect of a weight gain program. What you eat-firstly, break down your plate servings, instead of eating 3 large plates of food in a day go for 6 little plates of food and eat frequently-don't let four hours go by without eating something. protein packed food, carbs, calories and healthy fats are to be eaten. Protein helps in building of body mass(muscles), calories add up energy to the body, carbs too help in muscle building
Eggs, chicken breast, sweet potatoes, asparagus are some of the high caloric, protein and carb packed foods.
sources of healthy fat to be eaten with moderation are avocado, olives, almonds,walnuts, oily fish like salmon and mackerel.

2.
Exercise
Exercise stimulates your appetite, doing exercise 4 days in a week for 30- 1hour is essential;If you want to have a nice shapely body, to go along with your body features(pretty/handsome face), you are going to need to work out so you put the weight on in form of muscle and not fat. A combination of aerobic exercise and strength training is needed.
Aerobic exercises also called cardio exercises train the heart, lungs and cardiovascular system to deliver oxygen rapidly and effectively to every part of the body;these exercises include jogging, walking/fast walking, cycling, swimming.
strength training on it's own part makes you stronger, increases your muscular endurance, improves on your balance and coordination and help build upyou self esteem. You can do a search on some strength training exercise you can incorporate in your daily exercise routine.

3.
Drinks
Drink plenty of water like 6-8 glasses in a day it keeps you hydrated, flushes out toxin from your body and blood, if you are opportune d to have a juicer, you can make a combination of different fruit juice(apples/oranges, berry/oranges/banana)instead of taking just one juice beverage for a high calorie intake NOTE;don't go get processed fruit juice, cause they are bad for your health since they have loads of sugar. If you have a juicer, make your drinks.

4.
Sleep
Make sure you have enough sleep, putting up all these activities without enough rest wont only stress you out, it will make you crave for the wrong type of food. Sleep of 7-8 hours is required.

5.
Be Positive
Nothing in life comes easily, especially if you have something in mind to achieve. At the start it will be difficult, you might want to give up or you will give up but keep the end result in mind and be positive toward your change go gradually on yourself. Talk to people whom you know will encourage you and motivate you on your weight gain program and please move away from insults, negativity you may have gotten from people in the past

6.
Set goals
Goals will keep you focused and motivated, you can picture yourself of how you want to become, you then take a pen, and write down what you want to achieve in what length of time. Let your weight gain goals be realistic, if you know you can't do exercise for 30 minutes to 1hour, start with doing exercise for 10-20minutes, and as days go on, you increase your time, this will give you a satisfaction of accomplishment,keep you motivated and happy

Be happy and stay healthy!
