The first thing I would like to share is planning. Similar to weight loss, planning is an extremely important stage that should not just be browsed over. You need to plan so that it is accurate, achievable, fits your daily schedule, and has a dateline. Stick by the plan of trying to gain 1kg a month, but do not be overly disappointed when you do not achieve this in the early stages. This is because at the start there are a lot of variables that you have not gotten your hands all around, but both time and effort will make this easier to achieve. If you are a morning person and do not go to school or work that early, I strongly advise a morning workout between breakfast and work. This way, you will be able to have at least 2 meals before you leave for work which is a good habit to develop since you require 6 meals in total everyday. It also primes your body to be susceptible to nutrients and provide a higher quality of sleep.
The next tip is to consume a high calorie and protein diet. This is done for 2 reasons. Firstly, the complex carbohydrates which you consume will provide the much needed energy for your high metabolism. Striking sugary drinks off the list will adjust your body towards using those complex carbohydrates. The reason why you would want your body to be fueled by these carbohydrates is because it does not spike your blood sugar level, thus easing the stress off your kidneys and liver. I have a secret diet I used for 2 years and that is drinking milk three times a day. This gives me the protein I need as well as calories, which I found hard to achieve on a constant basis at the beginning. Drinking milk also provides the much needed calcium and iron which all ladies need due to the demands of your body.
The next thing to get right is sleep. If you can achieve a complete 8 hours of rest each night, you are definitely on the right track to gain weight. My secret to achieve this is to find a day in the week where you cancel all plans and just focus on sleeping early and waking up whenever your body tells you to. Write down the amount of hours you have slept and try to achieve this every night. One thing to take note though is that you would want to wake up only once, and not force yourself to go back to sleep once you have woken up. This will keep your immune system high, repair your much needed muscles while you sleep, and keep your mind alert while you go about your daily routine.
Lastly, all healthy weight gain regimens would not be possible without the implementation of weight training. I understand that most ladies think that you will become bulky like those bodybuilders but in actuality, you will not unless you are using growth hormones or supplements. Maintain a clean, natural diet and focus on lifting heavier weights with low repetition and you will soon be looking to gain the weight you need
