How can I gain weight quickly

About two-thirds of people in the US are either overweight or obese. However, there are also many people with the opposite problem of being too skinny. This is a concern, as being underweight can be just as bad for your health as being obese. Additionally, many people who are not clinically underweight still want to gain some muscle.

What Does Underweight Really Mean?

Being underweight is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) below 18.5. This is estimated to be less than the body mass needed to sustain optimal health. Conversely, over 25 is considered overweight and over 30 is considered obese.

Binging on soda and donuts may help you gain weight, but it can destroy your health at the same time. If you’re underweight, you want to gain a balanced amount of muscle mass and subcutaneous fat rather than a lot of unhealthy belly fat. There are plenty of normal-weight people who get type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and other health problems often associated with obesity.

A mango is 2% fat. Or if you like things a little Picante, try the green sauce. A 2 tablespoon serving is about 10 calories.

You might also tweak your diet by increasing the amount of time that you don’t eat or that you fast. We all fast every 24 hours, it’s called sleeping.

If you skip breakfast, then lunch, then eat your three meals between 4–12 at night, you will be in taking the same amount of calories. Or you could eat between 12 noon and 8 in the evening. Same thing. Either way, you would increase your fasting from 8 hours to about 16 hours. When you do that your body burns fat, builds muscle, etc.

To make this even more effective, work out before you stop your fast. Workout from 4–5. Then if you can wait an hour. Make sure your workout is all body, multi-joint, short, hard, and fast. Warm-up, blast out a 15–20 minute workout, and you are done. You might also check out Tabata workouts, which are the ultimate in short workouts. Warm-up, work out at 100% effort for 20 seconds, rest for ten seconds, and repeat 8 times. A 4-minute workout!

Why does this work out after fasting all day? Because there is a study that shows fasting, followed by working out will cause the body to spike its production of HGH or human growth hormone. It’s like a designer drug made by your own body. And the reason that you wait is to let your body produce and distribute the HGH. As soon as you eat; the HGH production stops.

Intermittent fasting purportedly will also make you lose fat, not lose muscle but actually gain it, it will help your body to rest and clean itself, it will make you more sensitive to insulin and is good for your brain.

So, keep eating the way you are eating, reduce your eating window to 4–8 hours, workout after a day of fasting, and I would venture that you can lose 10–40 pounds, depending on how many you have to lose.
