Before we look at how to put on weight, let us see the reasons as to why you are underweight. Reasons for being Underweight: Many girls starve to achieve a size-zero figure. Weight loss is possible but at the same time, body gets deprived of all the essential nutrients. Symptoms of several diseases like cancer, liver or kidney problems, depression reduce your appetite and related medications may be a reason for your lost appetite. People with any eating disorder syndrome like anorexia or bulimia, become dangerously underweight. Another reason being underweight may be hereditary reasons. Some diet plans that will help you gain weight: Weight gain can be as strenuous and time-consuming. Eating a lot of food throughout the day will not add to your weight. As much as you might believe that burgers and pizzas will give you that extra, you need to remember that it will only to fat. But your aim is to put on weight in an healthy manner, not to add a tyre to your otherwise skinny frame! Focus on eating food but at the right time and the right quantity. 1. Include calories in your diet: You need to take in more than 250 calories daily to add roughly half a kilo to your current weight. Eat foods that are rich in calories like Pulses, cereals, meat, bread, rice, dry fruits and nuts. Avoid fast food or cereal bars. Everything that we eat that we eat has some calorie content to it. So like we eat food with fewer calories to lose weight, we need to eat food that has more calories to gain weight. Add vegetables like french beans, broccoli, Chinese cabbage, carrots, lettuce, spinach, asparagus, pumpkins and eggplants to your diet. They have higher calorie content among the vegetable sources. Add a healthy portion of red meat to your diet too. But keep in mind to not overdo it. The aim is not add weight not cholesterol! You can even add olive oils in generous quantities to your salads. Another way to add calories to your diet is by increasing the consumption of dairy products. I do not mean just ice creams when I say this. Don’t cut back on the fat content in your milk. Do not ask for low fat curds at the store. Make sure you consume a full calorie dairy product. And make it a point to snap up those milk shakes every once in a while! Can there be a more delicious way to put on weight? 2. Increase the number of meals: Have six meals in a day, three big meals and three small. Breakfast, lunch and dinner should be heavy and calorie rich. A heavy dinner adds weight to your body as your metabolism is not as active when you sleep as compared to when you are awake. For breakfast, go for a full bowl of cereal and add toasted bread with butter or a fruit. For snacks, have nuts and dry fruits, fruits and boiled veggies with a dollop of cream or sandwiches with cheese. Any vegetable or fruit or actually anything healthy that has higher calorie content is welcome. Don’t be stingy on the number of times you eat! [ Read: 1000 Calorie Indian Diet Plan ] 3.
