gaining weight Options

[demolished]

Dude, i'm really skinny.
How do i gain weight? I tried eating a lot .. and i dont even gain weight. i got tired of it.
My arms are like twigs.
Whenever i go out, i feel very self-conscious about my weight.
I dont look meaty at all, just a piece of twig.
therefore, i wear clothes tha doesnt show any of my body parts.
i dont even wear short clothes anymore.
the first thing that people think is that i'm skinny with chubby cheeks.
and my friends said, " dam steven, you're skinny!"

NONONONO

THREE LARGE MEALS A DAY DOESNT WORK

You're actually supposed to eat little meals ALL day (like 6 MEALS {little ones} all day)

That way its even, i read that in one of my dad's (who works for GNC) magazines

You need to work out too dude.

That's actually the biggest load of crap - I don't care where your dad works.
6 meals a day is unhealthy.

Like I said, I've been put into hospital because of my weight before -
and of all places, if I was in serious need of help, don't you think they would have done that?

Once again, please let me remind you, working out is NOT the answer.


If you're not sure about what you're on about, don't bother posting this advice.
It's crap. FIN DE.

You really have no idea what you're talkin about.

I eat atleast 6 meals a day and at most 8 meals a day. The days I have cardio, I only eat 6 meals. The days I don't have cardio I eat 8 meals.

6-8 meals is the best way to control your diet... or your body size in general. If you want to gain size, you bump up the carb and protein intake (bumpin up calorie intake)

If you want to lose weight, you eat less carbs but keep the protein intake up (droppin down calories)

Your motabolism is a major part of your diet whether if you want to lose weight or want to gain weight.

And if you don't eat alot... and working out is not the answer, then what do you suggest? Starvation? Bulimia? Taking pills? Laxatives? There's no shortcuts that are healthy to control your weight whether you like it or not.

Peace,
