• If you are underweight and want to gain weight, the first step of your journey into recovery is identifying the reason why you are underweight.

Discussions surrounding weight has been common among people who mind about their health and wellbeing. In this regard, some people strive to lose weight. Similarly, others aim for gaining weight.

If you are underweight and want to gain weight, the first step of your journey into recovery is identifying the reason why you are underweight.

Some people lose their weight due to medical conditions, age, or lifestyle habits.

For this reason, it is important to gain your goal weight in a healthy way.

Some of these ways include;

1. Eating  frequently      

According to Mayo Clinic, eating 5 to 6 smaller meals daily can help. This will also require you to identify the times when you are hungry, and also plan times to eat even when you are not hungry.

2. Eat Nutritious Food

In your weight gain journey, don’t just eat any foods. Ensure you eat food that are rich in nutrients and calories. This means that you have to eat more calories than your body burns.

High calorie snacks include smoothies, and protein bars among others.

3. Add Extra Dishes to Your meals

More food means more calorie intake, thereby boosting your weight in the long run.

4. Include Meal Replacement Drinks in Your Diet

These are bevarages designed to substitute a whole meal. Drinks with high calorie and nutrients such as smoothies and shakes can help in your weight gain journey, especially if you are on the move and may fail to find time to eat. This also helps so that you avoid missing out on eating.

5. Avoid Drinking while eating

Drinking a lot of bevarages can give you an illusion of being full, thus preventing you from eating well. Therefore you should avoid drinking before you eat or during meal time.

6. Do a lot of exercise

Exercising frequently helps build up muscles thus can help you gain weight. Moreover, exercising stipulates appetite.

Remember, it’s not just about the numbers on the scale; it’s about nourishing your body and fostering a healthier lifestyle. Embrace this journey with patience and determination, and watch as you transform not just your weight, but your overall well-being.
