Weight Gain
Question: Weight Gain? My boyfriend is slowly losing weight and we would like help in selecting a weight gain formula from (GNC?). He is 47 and healthy, plus he eats good. There are so many different formulas out there to choose from. Does anyone have names of specific ones with the pros and cons of each type, or any other suggestions of what we could do to help him gain weight? He has a normal exercise level so more excercise will make him more fit, but not necessarily gain weight.
Answer: If he is lifting weights add more weight and cut the reps. Do very heavy squats slowly.
Weight gain formulas are generally a waste of time and money. Just eat more of what he eats now.
Question: Weight gain? I am 18 and weigh 8 stones. Not healthy. Can anyone tell me What is the best way to gain weight. Eating loads of food doesn't help. I probably eat as much as two people. Any tips, advice, help
Answer: Eat a balanced diet. Follow the food pyramid as close as you can, but I would try to eat a 3-4 tablespoons of peanut butter each day. It's a good source of protein and has a good mix of fats that will put some weight on your frame.
Also, get out and exercise. If you are eating plenty, particularly protein, then any type of resistance exercise (weight lifting, calesthenics, etc.) should start to put muscle on you. This will eventually make you start gaining weight.
You say that you eat enough for two people, but I doubt that this is the case. You must balance your diet and refrain from snacking. If you mostly consume junk food, then you should switch to a healthier alternative.
Being healthy is hard work, but it's worth it. Health should be your primary goal, not gaining weight. You may come to the point where you realize that you are just a naturally thin person. That is an okay conclusion to arrive at so long as you are healthy.

Answer: I wouldn't think gaining weight would be a problem. Eat fatty foods. but don't stuff yourself with candy it will make you unhealthy.
Spend a week or two eating macaroni and cheese, lasagna, junk food ect but don't over do it. Youll make yourself sick and fat. Moderation is great thing to have :D

You could eat things like pizza, burgers, french fries, donuts, cake, etc.; but it probably is not a good idea to eat too much of that stuff. Milkshakes have lots of calories and might be better..
Question: How much weight gain is normal during the first 4 months of pregnancy? I am four months pregnant, and go back to the doctor on Feb.6. At my last doctors appointment he told me that I havent gained any weight so far, but my stomach was growing so the baby was gaining all the weight. I was advised to only gain about 20 pounds during my whole pregnancy because with my first pregnany I gained ALOT of weight and I was already a little over weight at the beginning of this pregnancy. I weighed myself at my mothers house and it looks like I have gained 3-5 pounds since January 9. Is this bad considering this is the only weight I have gained so far?!? How to I keep my weight from sky rocketing like it did with my first son?
Answer: normal weight gain during pregnancy is as follows
months 1-3 no gain or up to 4 lbs water retention
months 4-9 .8-1.2 lbs each week
total weight gain not to exceed 35 lbs
the thing I would recommend is keeping a food diary
you only need 300 extra calories a day from now till the end of your pregnancy
most of what you are eating should consist of whole grains, fruits and vegetables. you need small portions of protein (60 grams a day) and small amounts of fat.
you should cut out food that is highly processed (that's anything that comes in a box, bag, or can).
drink water instead of juice, soda, or milk (most people do not drink enough)
you are welcome to contact me if you would like free personalized help with your diet.
Becki jean:
According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans published by the USDA, a pregnant woman needs about 2,300-2,700 calories a day.
the 1800-2000 calories you are recommending is dangerously low unless you ment only during the first trimester when your body requires no additional calories...
Question: What is the average weight gain when you start taking birth control pills? I talked to my doctor today about taking birth control pills since I am getting married soon. She informed me that most women gain weight, but wouldn't say how much. I just lost about 35 lbs and really don't want to gain that back (especially before a wedding). How much weight is normally gained? And do all women gain weight or just some? If I eat healthy and continue to exercise can I lose that weight again, or is it stuck because of hormonal stuff? Thanks!
Answer: I have been taking a birth control method for 8 years now....6 years on the pill and 2 years for the needle, and I have yet to experience any weight gain. My doctor explained that it will increase your appetite but if you choose healthy foods instead of lets say McDonald's then you should be alright.
Hope it helps!
Question: How much weight gain is acceptable during pregnancy? I need to keep my wife walking on egg shells with this issue. I know some women gain weight during pregnancy but i need to minimize this. Can you all tell me how much weight she should be gaining. I will take whatever number you give and subtract five pounds from it, that will be her target weight. If she goes above that i am gone. I don not want her having loose skin, stretchmarks, or saggy breasts when this terrible time is over.
Answer: you dont deserve to be a dad. if you really loved her then you will give her time to lose the weight. if she started out skinny that doesnt mean that she will be fat after she has the baby.
Question: Is appeton weight gain really effective for people who have trouble gaining weight? I am having a hard time to gain weight and i am planning on buying this product. Is it effective?
Answer: Hey man. I really don't think you need any extra supplements or medications, just to gain weight. Get on a solid high-calorie diet, and you'll have no problem putting on the weight. I'd suggest checking out this fitness site that I follow: http://www.swolefitness.com/ - I also put a few other links for you to check out below in the sources area.

Answer: I posted a question about trying NOT to lose anymore weight the other day. I have lost roughly 15 lbs in 6 months. I don't necessarily want to gain, but I definitely don't want...or need...to lose anymore. It was suggested to me to drink Ensure or Slimfast in addition to regular meals. It was also suggested to go see the doctor to rule out Thyroid. You may want to also talk to your family doctor to see what they suggest.

Answer: im 35 weeks and 1 day and I have been having the same thing.
But I have been gaining 10lbs on two weeks and this last time it was 6lbs in 2 weeks.
I have really bad swelling too but like you said they said I had protein in my urine but my blood pressure is fine.

He did tell me that every women is different and we could be retaining a lot of water.
