If you’re skinny and want to gain weight fast, then this 8-step formula will help you. (They’re the exact steps I used to put on 27 pounds of healthy weight in just 4 months).
Having been skinny for most, if not all of your life, it can sometimes feel like the whole world’s against you when you’re trying to gain weight.
Magazines focus all their attention on weight loss, meaning there’s tons of ways to lose weight but not nearly enough on how to gain. Friends and relatives constantly remind or tease you about being too thin (and just tell you to eat more – Er, thanks! As if I hadn’t thought of that already!).
People may even accuse you of having an eating disorder, which is just embarrassing and annoying.
And even though you may eat a lot, your efforts never lead to healthy weight gain. Your high metabolism is just too darn fast and effective.
So where can you go for good info on how to gain weight quickly?
Hardly anyone seems to know. And no one truly understands what it’s like to be skinny unless they’ve been in your shoes already. No one realizes how desperate you are to gain weight – how being thin affects your whole self esteem and confidence – how painfully aware you are of being skinny at all times, and how uncomfortable it makes you feel.
That was my experience for a long time.
And in my search for information on healthy weight gain, and how to gain muscle fast, I hit a lot of dead ends, and wandered down a lot of blind alleys.
However, I eventually reached a turning point and managed to gain weight quickly.
These 8 steps you’re about to learn were the key to my success and transformation. You’ll want to follow these in the order they are presented, and make sure you apply them all.
So here are my 8 steps to gain weight fast if you’re skinny and desperate to put on weight:
8 STEPS TO GAIN WEIGHT FAST:
Step 1: Calculate Your Daily Calorie Needs
You can’t manage what you don’t measure. That’s a fact. So you need to get totally clear upfront how many calories you need to be eating each day to gain weight. Far too often guys tell me that they eat ‘a lot’, but when asked, they don’t really know how many calories they’re consuming or even how many they need to gain muscle mass.
Step 2: Get The Right Foods
The foods you eat are the raw ingredients your body needs to both sustain itself and to put on weight. Plain and simple. So if you eat crap, you’ll get crap results.
So, a good weight gain or muscle gain diet will focus mainly on eating plenty of clean, nutrient-dense whole foods. Examples are lean meat, eggs, wholewheat pasta, wholegrain bread, beans, nuts, fruits and vegetables.
This also means getting rid of the the “temptation foods”, that might taste really good but have little nutritional value and don’t help you gain healthy weight. Examples of foods to chuck out or avoid are ice cream, sodas, frozen desserts.
Step 3: Plan When You’re Going To Eat
Like the old saying goes, “Failing to plan is planning to fail”.
Now that you’re going to be eating more, you’ll want to spread these foods into more than just 3 meals a day. Ideally, that means eating each and every 3 hours. So have a think about when you wake up most days and when you go to bed. Then figure out how many weight gain meals you’re going to fit into your waking day.
Step 4: Arrange Easy Access To Weights
This is pretty straightforward and obvious. But you’d be surprised how many get it wrong and fail as a result. You want to make it as easy as possible for yourself to train to gain weight. And in order to gain weight fast – and to gain healthy weight in the form of muscle – you need to lift weights.
So make sure your gym is either really close to where you work, just round the corner from where you live, or somewhere in-between the two. This makes it easier to train when things get busy, so you don’t come up withe excuses for not working out.
Step 5: Find A Proven Workout Plan
Don’t try and ‘guess’ your way to more weight. Find a weight gain program that has worked for someone else. Then follow it exactly.
Step 6: Lift Weights In A Way That Encourages Muscle Growth
The way you lift weights directly impacts your ability to gain muscle fast. High reps or low reps, heavy or light? Legs first or chest first? Shoulders or back? How long should you spend in the gym?
Again, don’t leave yourself guessing. Follow a workout plan that’s specifically designed for skinny guys.
Step 7: Recover Properly Between Training Sessions
For skinny guys, this typically means giving yourself at least 48 hours rest between training sessions. So, forget about showing up at the gym every day of the week.
Step 8: Stay Focused, Committed and Motivated to Gain Weight
Perhaps more important than all the previous steps is your emotional commitment to a program. You need to find a way to stay committed and totally focused on your goal to gain weight fast. And not let anything get in the way your success. It’s only when you connect one successful week onto another, then another, and another that you will successfully gain weight quickly.
Admittedly, we’ve not been able to go into massive detail about each of these steps just yet. But this should give you a good starting point and outline of the steps you need to follow to gain weight fast.
