Not too often I bet, but years ago I was one of those people. You don't have to eat high-calorie, fat-filled, sugar loaded snacks and foods to gain weight and quite the opposite you end up doing nothing, but damage to your body in the long run. This doesn't mean you can go to McDonald's and super size your meal each time nor does it mean eating ice-cream, chips, cookies and drinking pop while watching American Idol. Have a midnight snack or eat before I go to bed. First of all, find out how many calories you need. In order to gain weight, you need to increase your calorie intake. I was told I could eat everything and anything I wanted.

Basically, eat more I was promised I would put on the pounds. And of course, I'm sure a poochy belly to boot.

How to Gain Weight Through Healthy Eating In today's society where most people are going on diets, how often do you hear someone say, "I want to gain weight". I was told to put more on my plate and go for seconds, and maybe thirds.

All I can say is thank goodness I didn't listen to that advice Why feed your body junk when you can nourish it with healthy foods.
