my 'p' is simple

i need to fatten up,  a little perhaps.

i look skinny and i desire to know what foods to eat and the do's/dont towards adding some flesh

i have kick started this project with complan food supplement.

wondering why its a project? tell you why.

got exam leave in the office and was home trying to prepare for my papers when my neighbour's wife junior sister saw me and asked why i didnt go to work. upon telling i was on leave( was abt mentioning for exams) she hastily advised me to make sure i grow a little flesh.

she advised me twice( second time wasnt funny: felt like slapping her)

plus my woman says it all the time.

NB: 'I dont want to hear some people will never grow fat, its their nature' thing. its not my nature to look poorly fed.

if you eat lots of junk foods and carbs and you're still skinny. then you'll have to wait for nature to take it's course.
and. . . it could take years

Me too i need some flesh.
even having a baby am still so slim,in fact some weeks afret i had my baby u wont even know i ever carried one.
i have always hoped and believed that once the kids start coming i will fatten up but am so diasppointed.
My hubby tells me i need a little more flesh,am trying,really trying.no progress yet.

^^^ you should thanking your stars. why would anyone want to carry all those flaps and bulges and happily call it "a sign of good living"

not a sign of good living,no.
just to look healthy.am pretty tall and i just need enof flesh for my weight and height to balance.
even b4 i got married my sistes often tell me i need a lil more flesh to go wt my height.

i'm not talking about greasy junk foods. but there are some snacks that have less saturated fat and high calorie contents eg cakes, doughnuts etc. you should eat more of those. if after months you've not added weight, just accept it as one of those things

Most people who say they are trying to put on weight simply do not eat enough, or consistently enough.
If you ingest enough calories, in a consistent manner, you WILL put on weight, no matter what. Simply ingesting more calories than you expend will ALWAYS lead to weight gain. The amounts will vary from individual to individual.

Here's the math - Calories In > Calories Out = Weight Gain

@ Romeo 4 real: insightful comment. thanks
is calori(ed) foods aint sugar(ed) food?

I nid a list of food that ar high in calorie. I wnt look chubby a bit

@fizzybaba - you can have foods that are made up of complex carbs - Bread, Rice, Pasta, Potatoes, Garri, etc, rather than foods rich in simple sugars - Cakes, Muffins, confectioneries in general, etc.

@ romeo 4 real: thanx for ur concern

my woman will however rain abuses on you(joke) or at the least ask me to discountenance your advice the moment she spots garri on your list.

she says i am not fat cuz i drink loads of garri.

@gbemyte: what u fink?

i advice u to take drug named:mosegor it makes u look naturally fleshy,young and beautiful;but flee from dexacortin if anybody recommends u tht.i just pity u by giving out this cos it somehow horror looking skiny in those outfits

and it is known to cause many side effects such as depression, aggression, anxiety and hallucinations

@curiobling: i dont think i want to add any ounce of flesh at the cost of the above side effects. i just googled your prescription. thanx anywayz

I have never visited this section of nairaland before, but something just lead me hear today. Anyway, i think i have the answer to your question. I am 6ft1, and i used to be really skinny, and then one holiday, back when i was in d university changed that. I am going to try and be brief. My remedy- i was taking a mixture of malt n peak milk, morning n night, eating 3times a day, a little work out, and rest. That was all it took, and when i got back to school, they thought i went to america for the hols. Pl
