How To Increase Weight Easily

Thursday, August 18, 2011

If you are one of those who are perpetually thin throughout your life, you must be wondering why is it that there are so many people who can get fat easily while it is so difficult for you to do so.

On one hand you are desperately trying to gain weight while on the other hand, there are so many people who want to lose it..

Of course you do understand that in order to gain weight healthily, you need to consume more good calories than what your body uses up for energy and at the same time take up weight lifting to put on muscle weight. However, that will mean a lot of effort on your part and yet the progress will be slow. You want to put on weight as quickly and as easily as possible. Whether the methods are healthy or not is not on the uppermost part of your mind.

So with that being the case, here are some easy ways in which you can gain weight by increasing your body fat. I do not advocate this approach as the methods can be rather unhealthy.

    - Sleep Deprivation - By depriving yourself of sleep, you are increasing the stress on your body forcing your body to produce more fat storing hormones such as cortisol. Furthermore, the longer you keep awake, the more time you will have to eat more foods such as late night suppers.

    - Start Snacking - Visit your supermarket and buy boxes and boxes of of your favorite snacks. Factory processed snacks are usually high in fat, sugar and sodium. Sugar and fat will increase your body fat level and sodium can cause water retention making you bloated and become heavier. Furthermore, these snacks usually contain chemicals and preservatives that can also make you gain body fat too.

    - Skip Your Breakfast - Did I surprised you? You see, many overweight folks thought that skipping breakfast can help them lose weight but they are sadly mistaken. This is because your body already has already been without food for several hours when you were sleeping and so, when you skipped your breakfast, you are in effect depriving your body of more food for another few hours and tricking your body to go into a "famine mode" to start storing body fat. Several hours later when you get really hungry, then gorge yourself with as much food as you can to get as many calories as possible.

    - Avoid Eating Vegetables - Vegetables are high in fiber and so when you eat them with a meal, its fibrous content prevents some calories from being absorbed. Furthermore, most vegetables have very few calories, so why not replace the vegetables with foods which are calorie densed?

    - Don't Drink Water - Replace drinking water with sugary beverages such as soft drinks and sodas. Avoid coffee because coffee contains caffeine which is a fat burner.

The reason for drinking sugary beverages is because plain water do not contain any calories and when you drink sweetened drinks instead, you are thus drinking the extra sugar calories and at the same time causing insulin to surge in your bloodstream to help you store even more fat.

By following the above tips, you should start to gain body fat gradually and easily. However, once again I must repeat that to gain weight this way is not very healthy.
