Adding weight and your metabolism.

To add weight is not hard if you use the simple science of weight management. It’s easy for you to add weight if you add in more calories than you consume. In short, the energy you use in your day to day activities should not surpass your food intake. Please note, they are other people out there whose metabolism is very high, meaning that the rate at which they burn calories is much faster than the average. If you are having trouble gaining weight or muscle, that is usually the first sign that you may have a fast metabolism. This may sound good to some, but for people who are underweight, this can lead to some serious health issues.

In an attempt to gain weight, it can result in overeating fattening foods which can lead to other problems. Many people who are trying to gain weight will tend to eat all types of food that are not necessarily good for them. You can slow down a fast metabolism just like you can speed up a slow one. Diet is the most important factor when trying to slow things down. There are foods that metabolize slowly like sugars and processed and fried foods. But those are not the healthiest options.

Sure, if you have a fast metabolism you can indulge in these foods with little risk of weight gain, but ideally, you want to stick with healthier fats, proteins and carbohydrates to provide your body with some much needed weight.
Getting plenty of sleep also has metabolism-slowing effects as it helps to store the fat in your body. When it comes to exercise, avoid anything too strenuous as you will just burn off what you worked so hard to put.

Brown chapattis, Brown rice, lots of carbohydrates and obviously a balanced diet , animal proteins, avocadoes, all kinds of nuts, rice with meat stew, and so many more foods can make you add weight. Having a healthy appetite is essential for weight gain since, professional boxers who do a lot of workout that burn a lot of calories are advised to take even five heavy meals a day. I don’t think any of you would be able to do that, but you could be eating small servings most times of the day.
