Ok thanks but some said I should avoid vegetables if I want to add weight

Vegetables make your bowel movement easy, a great antioxidant that removes all form of oxidative particles from your system.
Constant intake of vegetables will likely make you to lose weight. Take more carbohydrates, fatty foods and proteins, avoid avoid water soluble vitamins like orange etc, you can as well boost your appetite with multivitamin syrup that contains amino acids.

You want to start writing letter to diabetes, high cholesterol, and other illnesses that are more susceptible to obese people?

First kill your low self esteem and increase the weight of your bank account instead.

No one respects the weight of a poor man.

Wrong, maybe there is a another thing u where doing aside the beans, red oil, is natural and the fat content is very minimal, as such if u continue eating beans with plenty oil for one year, u will just be healthy not necessarily getting fat with the aid of beans.

Milk too ain't fattening, skimmed milk ain't, but if it is full cream milk ehen I will agree, so basically it was the full cream milk that made u fat, and not beans

Kindly show me a scientific proof or publication that red oil, beans and milk (not skimmed milk) are not fattening.

Let's start from there.

Cheers.

In addition with whatever you adopt, increase your portions, you can start small and grow over time. Take larger portions of food. You can also add some light gym or maybe some push-ups

There are two major secrets to adding weight

* Slow down your rate of metabolism
* Increase your appetite for food

You can achieve these two goals by

1. Eating calorie dense foods e.g beans, bread, banana, unripe plantain, boiled eggs, liver, meat, sweet potatoes, semolina. Eat this foods in large quantities. Avoid foods that increase your metabolism like garlic, ginger, cucumber, cabbage and alcohol.
2. Taking a bath 30min after having lunch. This can naturally slow down your metabolism. It's so effective, you will end up taking a nap afterwards.
3. Take appetite stimulating drugs like Chi Heptadine (costs less than N500 per pack) or any drug containing cyproheptadine after taking your meal.
4. Lastly, end your day with a heavy snack, be it moimoi, bread and beans or yam and egg.

Share your weight gain testimony after 1month.

Shalom!

cooking, frying or roasting ripe plantain is hazardous to health because a ripe plantain is now a fruit and you don't cook fruits. It is advisable to eat them raw when ripened.

Did u just say eat ripe plantain raw?

Abba !! Oga, how na? How many people do you know who eat ripe plantain raw? ...Like they just go to the market, buy NGN1000 ripe plantain, get home, slice it all, and start eating it raw.

If he decides to do otherwise, how many people have died from cooking, frying or roasting it that you know?

Some of us just try to do every new health crap we read online.

It would have been better if you had said to eat more unripe plantain than ripe plantain.

Well, that's like asking me to learn that the earth is flat or that water is pink. No deal.

If you are of the opinion that beans, red oil and milk are not fattening, then you would have to prove where you got those ideas from because they are contrary to facts.

Like I said, it's backed up by science and it has indeed worked for a lot of folks. So if you are in my mention to refute, I'd be glad to see your claims.

Reduce the rate of ur sexual activities and ur body will full. However, if u have the type of stature that igbo call nwa-mbe (very skimpy person) that's when u are short,small,and slim and God help you and u are ugly too.

I'm trying to loose weight, you're trying to gain. This life no balance.

I smoke Weed so i get hungry all the time and I complement it with junks, cornflakes with enough milk, like 4 fried eggs at a go with thick ass bread, or rich beans filled with crayfish with bread and orange drink.

Do all these and You'll be so fat, you'll hate your body fat in 4 months time.

But if body fat no dey your destiny, don't stress yourself. Even if you eat the whole fatty foods in the world, you'll still be slim like wizkid or snoop dogg.

Baba dm me let me give you drilling tips, u go slim down withing 4 months, u will look so trimmy and smart, plus you will have good stamina and your sexual prowess will tremendously improve, u self go shock with. The result cool

But you see that blog right there? That's just a random opinion or idea of a lad just like you. The internet if full of all sorts. I could Google "Beans is fattening" too and I would find dozens of ideas or write ups on that as well.

That is not definitive.

When I ask for a scientific proof, you do know what a research publication is don't you?

If it's a genetic something, you'll need to combine healthy/heavy protein and fat meals with exercises like pull ups, dips, weights, etc

Loll, it will shock you that beans has more carb ratio to protein, Google is your friend.
So basically beans being high in carb will automatically increase your weight if eaten in excess.

We're in the same age bracket. I use to have weight gaining issues like you too until I developed ulcer lol. I changed my diet and I went from slim to broad chested and fat laps in months.
Follow my diet.
(1) Buy yams. Always have yams at home. Eat yams like you want to use it to kill yourself. Morning and afternoon yam, fried eggs, one boiled egg and three crowns milk. DON'T FRY YOUR YAMS. BOIL THEM ONLY. And when I say eat yams, I mean 7 big pieces per meal.

(2) Take fruits. Apparently Bananas and apples help with blood circulation or something. Bananas in itself actually adds more calories so always have bananas around. Don't let your stomach be empty.

(3) Turkey and Meat. This is expensive but a faster way to gain weight. If you can afford to eat one medium sized turkey/meat every night after having yams in the morning, you'll get fat in a month. Remember DO NOT FRY. BOIL THEM ONLY.

(4) Lastly, just walk down to a pharmacy and ask for haemoglobin with vitamin b12. Get that and use one teaspoon after meals. I think it helps with moving food around the body.

(5) Your job might not permit you to but if you can, EAT EARLY B4 7PM AND SLEEP EARLY B4 10PM.


Did you gym to get that body, or it's just the food you ate?

Well, those are not good enough.
Be more intentional with your diet if you want to put on weight.
Eating beans like 3times in a week might help you.
Unripe plantains pottage, yam pottage with leafy vegetables, for like 2times in a week will be good for you also.
You can include sweet potatoes or ripe plantains to your beans occasionally to make it more filling and delicious.
Eat more of vegetable soups with your swallow meals.

Include other foods like eggs, chicken/turkey, full cream milk, yogurts...

This is exactly what I eat! How can I loose weight Very concerned! I am weighing 85KG, early 30s!

Ok thanks but some said I should avoid vegetables if I want to add weight

Op if you want to lose weight take vegetable soup sparingly. Most people use vegetable to lose weight because it makes people feel full faster and longer. No one denies its nutritional value though.

The best soups to gain weight; Egusi soup with catfish reduce okro,vegetable and ewedu.

The best protein to gain weight: sweetened yoghurt, beef, pork meat,mackerel fish reduce snail, goatmeat,croaker.

The best grain and carbs to gain weight: Rice in any form, poundo or pounded yam, bread, yam, gaari, semo reduce beans ,fufu amala,oatmeal and potatoes they will fill you faster and longer.

Best fruits and nuts to help gain weight: avocado, banana, groundnut, cashewnut reduce grapes,berries they don't have much calories.

Processed foods to help gain weight: pizza, burger, kfc chicken and fries, cakes . Take them sparingly due to sodium and sugar concerns.

Drinks: take peanut butter milkshakes, Google various recipes for milkshakes, take tea and milk beverages,milk, red wine, take soda sparingly because they don't add any healthy value.

Above all how you prepare each meal and the quantity you eat really matters on your journey to weight gain. Also review the rate at which you burn calories because if you burn more calories than you consume you will continue to lose weight. Don't be sedentary but reduce trekking time, gym time etc.

You need about 2000 calories to stay fit each day, so to gain weight you need to add at least 500 to 1000 more daily in order to see appreciable result.

All the above suggestions also works for people trying to lose weight if they are turned upside down.

Are u kidding, beans is protein baba, its grain, and its protein and can never be fattening, u make it fattening when u add things like sweet potatoes which has high calories, but beans alone even assist in weight loss routing, check below

When I was skinny, I use to work out like crazy but I wasn't seeing results and I'm talking 3-4 years ago. If you saw me then with shirt off, you would think I never lifted anything in my entire life.

Fast forward to a year ago. It was when I started eating everything I mentioned, my body then began taking shape even without workout.
