Gaining Weight in your Gainesville, Florida Apartment

When most people think of diets, they think of losing weight. But there are plenty of people out there trying to follow a weight gaining diet in an effort to put on size and muscle. Both types of diets can be extremely difficult to follow because they can completely break eating habits that you have practiced for years and years.

Here are some tips you can follow in your Gainesville, Florida apartment to help you attain your desired weight gain:

• Increase your caloric intake – a general formula you can follow is to eat 15 times your body weight in calories, so if you weigh 180 pounds, you should be eating at least 2,700 calories a day
• Keep upping the ante – your body can get used to anything, so once you see the weight gain level off, it’s time to increase your caloric intake to 16, 17, or 18 times your body weight
• Eat a hearty amount of essential nutrients – make sure to work a significant amount of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and more into your diet
• Lift weights – the old saying, “muscle weighs more than fat” is true, so anyone trying to gain weight should try weightlifting at least 2 to 3 times a week, but avoid cardio exercise as this can burn calories needed for weight gain
• Eat before bed – your digestive system isn’t as effective when you’re asleep, so having a big meal before bed time is an effective way to pack on pounds

Just like losing weight, gaining weight requires a lot of determination and discipline. For a more exact and professional weight gain plan, it is recommended that you consult your physician.
