How to gain weight is as difficult as losing weight. Okay, that might be a slight exaggeration; but we all know someone who is skinny as a stick and does not shy away from food. Most of us are envious that they never put on weight, but they too wish to have a lean well toned, even curvy or muscular look.

deadlifts, presses (bench and overhead), pull-ups, rows, dips, snatches, power cleans, clean and jerks. These engage multiple muscles while triggering your hormonal response systems. How to gain weight: Exercises for beginners A Squat 5x5 Pull-ups 5xFailure (add weight if "Failure" is becoming more than 12 reps) Overhead Press 5x5 B Squat 5x5 Deadlift 1/2/3x5 (your choice; deadlifts can be incredibly taxing, and with exhaustion comes poor form, so be careful; sometimes it's better to do a really heavy load for a single set) Bench Press 5x5 C Squat 5x5 Pull-ups 5xFailure Overhead Press 5x5 Do this sequence every week (maybe Monday, Wednesday, Friday) and steadily increase the weight each session. Once you're making progress, feel free to add in other exercises like dips or more Olympic lifts. How to gain weight: Healthy diet Y ou may take dietary supplement, but you need a balanced diet more.

If you want to gain weight, you need to build an appetite; and while this might be a tad nontraditional, you can rely on wine as a hunger stimulant. A small glass of wine before your evening meal will help you appreciate your food a whole lot more. Also, avoid drinking water before meals and in between meals, you don't want to ruin your appetite. How to gain weight: Eat less If you eat in between meals, cut it out. They say you should eat three large meals or five to six small meals in a day. Eating less is more. Choose food with nutritional calories and increase intake of starchy foods like potatoes. Remember, the more junk food you eat, the more you deprive your body of healthy nutrients. A thin person who gorges on junk food will suffer the same unhealthy consequences as an obese person with poor eating habits. How to gain weight: Indulge the right way

While normally this strategy works perfectly for some, for others it could just lead to visceral fat - a state of being skinny fat.

Besides, sugar-heavy foods deplete your body of whatever little nutrients it might be getting from other foods. How to gain weight: Eat lots and lots of healthy vegetables and meat
