    Default How long does it take to gain weight?

    Ok so here is my question. I recently decided that I should gain about ten pounds or so to have a lil more junk in tha trunk, ha! I did a search on here about gaining weight and got lots of helpful tips. But I was wondering about how long would it take to gain that much? I have a very fast metabolism, so I know I gotta work hard at it.

    I think I'm gonna try those ensure drinks with my meals...and just eat more often throughout the day...like snacks and stuff...plus 3 meals a day. My problem is I don't really like eating that much but I guess I have to now.

    Much like losing weight, you aren't going to be putting it on fast if you're putting it on at a rate that's healthy (and easy to stop!). Maybe a pound or two a week at most; if you're doing stuff to put more muscle on your butt, it may be even slower, compared to just trying to put a few pounds of fat on. Either way, best of luck!

    I'm pretty well toned...I think I just need some more fat because I don't want to look too lean. I wanna have a lil more jiggle.

    Take an all inclusive cruise and pig out. You'll gain at least a few pounds in a week. That's what happened to me and I wasn't trying. Ya, the banana milk thing will work and so will a diet rich in simple carbs.

    If you want to gain weight, eat right before you go to bed and make sure you eat Carbs!! That usually will put on weight! You can also get those protein bars at GNC some of those can put weight on you!

    I have the same exact problem, I'm already pretty toned, I just want to add like 10lbs of fat that I lost. The banana milk thing really works. I drink 1 or 2 shakes a day. I put a banana, about a cup and a half of milk in the blender. To really add on calories I put in 2tbs of peanut butter and protein powder from gnc. I don't use skippy or sugary peanut butter, the all natural kind is better. This works for me, especially since I don't usually feel like eating much. I don't want to over do it evryday, since I usually have twos shakes. What I'll do is maybe not put peanut butter in both shakes, I'll alternate with frozen strawberries or some other fruit or ice cream. I swear to god this works! You'll notice a difference in a week...of course eat healthy from all food groups, but just try this on top of whatever you're doing already.

    one word: champagne

    and lots of it. it was the fastest fat-grower i've ever encountered. (and it also helps to indulge your burger and caramel donut cravings next day)

    Eat foods high in calories, but also be careful not to eat foods with high cholesterols or satruated fat. It's all about calories, calories, calories. The Ensure protein shakes will work only if you supplement it with high calorie meal, you can also try the Prolab N-large weight gain supplement. My brother purchased the supplement to help him bulk up, and I started drinking it as a breakfast replacement, and in a month period, I gained so much weight and had to stop cuz people started noticing and makeing comments. I know a lot about weight gainers because I have three brothers and they all struggled with being thin and trying to bulk up for athletics.

    i can never gain and gave up on trying. can't eat more than my body requires, it makes me sick if i force myself. can't stand junk, white flour, starch, processed sugary stuff, meat. consistent drinking can give you a jiggle, but it's so unhealthy....i can't quit working out, because i need to do it for overall sense of well being and balance. if you have a certain body type, you just need to accept it. but i eat walnuts with honey as a snack (high calorie/high protein), use olive oil a lot, fish, it keeps me looking healthy. i tried shakes and some supplements at one time, but it all gave me stomach cramps and just felt wrong.

    peanut butter, creamy style
    2 large ripe bananas, sliced
    1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, divided

    Spread peanut butter on one side of all eight slices of bread.

    Top four slices with 1/2 banana sliced on each.

    Top with remaining bread slices.

    Heat butter 1 tablespoon at a time in large skillet.

    This is a good question. How long DOES weight take to show? If you eat like a pig one day does it immediately show up the next day or does the fat take a few weeks to show?

    I could be totally off, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard somewhere that it takes 3000 extra calories to equal one pound of extra fat and that if you eat even 1000 extra calories one day, it's not gonna do more than add a couple ounces.
