The Gain Weight Diet
Just as some people have trouble with obesity,
others may face the problem
of being underweight. And the underweight
can face low energy.
Sometimes it is because they don't eat
enough, or they may ingest ample
calories, but due to illness, stress or
other metabolism they fail to oxidize food
for necessary energy.
For those people whose weight deficiency
comes from under eating, or illness,
the proper diet can be effective in achieving
normal weight.
Increasing the daily calorie intake is
the first step toward it's cure.
See Evaluate Your Diet~ Then hit BACK

Find your energy requirements to compute
your present calorie intake.
Here you will see how many additional
calories you will need to gain weight.
Also you need to pay attention to the
nutritional value of your diet.
The needs for the underweight are greater
in the area's of protein, vitamins and minerals.
Remember the foods that have empty calories,
such as :
candy, soda, pretzels, potato chips, pastries
may help to gain extra calories,
but they are seriously lacking in good
nutritional values.
A High protein diet is needed to re build
bones,blood and all cells, and to create new
body tissues not just pounds of fat.
Foods rich in fats can really help in
adding energy value to the diet,
however Fat is digested more slowly than
other nutrients, and may prove
so satisfying that the small eater is
not hungry, skips meals, and fails
to consume more potential calories needed.
Too much fat in the diet can cause coronary
problems in the underweight,
just as in the obese. The total fat in
the diet should still be below 35%
of the daily calories. The largest of
these fats should be the unsaturated variety.
Vitamin A and along with the B vitamins,
is said to improve the
appetite, which will encourage you to
eat more.
When planning a menu, consider adding
sauces, salad dressing,
grains, beans, nuts, dried fruits, and
whole-grain breads to round out your meals.
Choose whole milk and fruit juices rather
than water, coffee or tea.
Although meat and cheese are important
foods, they should not be
overemphasized since their high fat content
makes them quickly satisfying
and those who have small appetites may
eliminate other items on the menu.
It is better to have smaller portions
of several items than large quantities of
one food when trying to gain weight.
So in planning a gain-weight diet, you
must pay attention
to the nutritional value of your menu.
