How do I gain weight fast?

Question

i got out of a long term relationship. i knew it was unhealthy and my ex finally left me alone which is great! so during the relationship i was always stressed out which affected my eating habits, i dropped a ton of weight at least 12 pounds and i'm very petite, i have never weighed 100 pounds.

i am scared because if i force my self to eat i sometimes throw up a few hours after eating. i try eating more but get horrible stomatch cramps.

any tips on how i can gain it back quickly? or any tips on what can get my apetite back? keep in mind i have already consulted a doctor and they have no solution besides eating more!

Healthy weight gain or loss should be done over long periods of time. But, if you want to gain weight quickly, eat a lot of protein and work out with weights. Don't worry, you won't get all big and muscular. But what will happen is you'll gain muscle density and put on weight on through lean mass and not fat. You do NOT want to be skinny fat. Eating more food (calories) than your body can use in a day will cause you to weight, but it will all be fat. Why would you want to carry around extra fat?

Lifting weights will not cause 90% or more people, guys included, to become muscle heads over night, or in 3 months. That is a FACT.no arguement. Muscle builds and develops slowly. It may take months for you to visually see the changes and they may be very slight, but it may only take a few weeks for your body to start putting on LEAN muscle weight.

Keep in mind that based on volume, muscle weighs 3 times that of fat. So you could be 110 pounds and be a size zero or 2 and look awesome or you could be 100lbs but be a size 4 and flabby. Don't listen to the scale, listen to how your clothes fit.

I can not stress enough, lifting weights will not make you big unless you want it to. It's not like you walk into the gym, pump some iron for a 30 days and wake up on day 31 and BAM! your this huge walking muscle. The muscle will come on gradually and one day, you'll look in the mirror and say, I like this look. That's the day, your weight training regime becomes one of maintenance using lighter weight and no longer one of weight gain and heavy weights.

Share this information with any trainer. They will all tell you roughly the same thing. About the only argument against this information comes in the form of excuses or irrational fears about bulking up. There are always exceptions to the rules, but for the most part this will hold true for everyone.

If anyone says fast food.i would not listen to that part.Whatever you do, don't gorge yourself on food. Make sure you are eating good healthy food instead of McDonald hamburgers. Gaining weight can be healthy. You should never gain weight "fast", in this world we expect results way too fast and the dead truth of it is it is unhealthy to have anything as fast as we want it when it comes to weight. Take it slow.make sure your eating good stuff.your health is more important.

Im sure there are plenty of websites on the internet or places your friends/families know of that will guide you to the right spot to research/find good diets to gain weight.

Pace yourself also, "i am scared because if I force my self to eat I sometimes throw up a few hours after eating", make sure you go a little bit more each time. Don't take huge leaps or start bad eating habits. Hope I helped a little =\

Okay for starters, don't force yourself to eat. Also don't eat a lot of junk food. I don't know of any healthy ways to gain weight fast, but I do suggest you go at it in a healthy way. Best way to do it is eat three-five meals a day.

For breakfast have cereal, oatmeal, or eggs. With each one make sure you have toast and juice. With the eggs you can add sausage and hash if you like.

For lunch have a couple sandwiches. Be them pband j seafood salad or what ever. Just make sure there is a starch and a protein.

For dinner have a meat (pork, beef, chicken ext.) a starch (bread, noodles, rice) and a vegitable (beans, corn carrots.)

If you go for five meals a day, after breakfast and before lunch have a snack of peanuts, or fruit or something of that sort.

between lunch and dinner have another sandwich or a soup.

And if you want add a fourth or sixth meal (desert) icecream, yogurt, cake or something of the sort.

Keep this up and you'll gain you're healthy body weight.

I had the same problem with trying to gain weight. I'm 5'4 and never use to weigh more than 105. Now I'm at a healthy weight for my age and height. Eating healthy meals at least 3xs a day along with protein shakes or protein bars should do the trick. You should also try to incorporate breads and pastas into your diet. Just try to eat what your craving or eat the foods you know you love. Don't by any means FORCE yourself or try scarfing down fast food. That's WAY unhealthy. And keep in mind if you have a fast metabolism it's going to be a little harder and longer to gain back that weight. Goodluck!

Gaining or losing weight quickly is  a really bad idea I would recommend dealing with the stress and beginning a program of good sleep and exercise and see what happens.
