It is a common phenomenon that we hear that people talk about losing
weight and making special New Year resolutions to ooze out that extra
fatty layer from their waists, but what about those who want to gain
weight and add on a few extra kilos to get that perfect chubby look?
Let
me tell you, if you want to learn the art of gaining weight, you don’t
just have to eat, eat and eat, but eat the right food and yes enough of
them.
Read on to know the best tips to gain weight this season.
Increase calorie intake
Yes, you heard it right. You need
to eat more than your usual calorie intake as this is the simplest way
to gain those extra kilos. Eat a lot of protein rich food like beans,
pulses etcetera. Then, add dairy products like eggs, fish, and meat to
your platter. You can also gorge on starchy food like potato as they
help in gaining weight early. But, remember to add only those many
calories that are required and not too much that it converts into fat.
Another important advice is try to stick to a time routine for consuming
meals and you will see the difference yourself.
Snacking in between meals
It should be kept in mind
especially for a person who wants to gain weight that he/she should
never skip meals. Try eating every 2-3 hours. This will ensure that a
consistent level is maintained and your body gets the necessary
supplements without a break. You can divide your food into say 3 main
meals with 3 in between small meals. One can try a handful of dry
fruits, energy bars, granola, chikki and laddoo for snacks.
Say no to junk food
They
are very tempting and finger licking good, but eating junk is not the
answer to your weight gain query as they contain large amount of
calories, bad fats and off course very little nutrition. So, a burger or
a pizza or finger chips are a strict no as eating too much fast foods
help weight gain through fat, not through healthy lean muscle. Also, as a
healthy advice avoid consuming processed food.
Eat a balanced diet
In
your quest to gain weight, one should remember to eat a balanced diet
and include a variety of nutrients like proteins, starch, vitamins,
minerals etcetera so that the body is not used to eating just certain
foods. Also, while choosing a balanced meal, one should avoid eating
foods that contain bad fats like Dalda, red meat, margarine etcetera as
they are bad for the health of your heart and will only leave you more
worried.
Stay hydrated
Drink plenty of water, milk,
fresh juices and energy drinks to ensure you are properly hydrated. As a
healthy advice drink at least 8-10 glasses of water each day. But,
remember not to drink water before meal and in between the meal as it
may decrease your calorie intake.
