HOW TO GAIN WEIGHT | My Weight Gain Journey (with pics!)

[@nanihime]

I appreciate this video. I'm a skinny girl and I've always been insecure of my legs. I'm literally 102. I'm black, and in the black community it's better to be thicker than skinny. So I ALWAYS get shamed for not having the body. I hope we can be internet friends bc I'd love to talk more about this to you bc I relate so much!! I hate taking body pics bc I look so young. I'm 20 years old!

[@LianaChau]

I got shamed so much too! Societal beauty standards are so freaking brutal. Always down to make new friends, feel free to msg me on Instagram! ❤

sis wow totally resonate with all of this!!

I would eat around 1,500 calories a day. Since my mom is too lazy to cook, a normal day would be about 900-1,000 calories. My daily goal of eating 2,000+ calories is a lot but I'm slowly getting there. I started working out at home, no weights, for the past 4 days now. My goal is to be 125-130lbs. I'm currently 113. I'm 5'6", slim, turning 18 in October, and I've always felt like I have too much bone showing which I don't. I hope my weight gain journey works! 🥺

I used to be nearly 120 and now I’m 106. I’ve lost so much weight within the last two years because of Wellbutrin and it just depresses me looking in the mirror now because i keep getting smaller and smaller. My flat ass is even flatter, size 0 is feeling baggy on my legs and especially my ass now. and my boobs went down a whole fucking cup size. I was a solid 34c now I’m barely a 32b!!!:( they were literally the only thing I was confident with lmao and now I don’t have even boobs either anymore. 😭 the only good thing was that it gave me a flat stomach and cinched my waist to 24in. but still. I’m sick of people telling me I need to eat a burger man

[@isajohn003]

Everytime i try and gain weight it goes to my stomach and not my legs where I want it to go

[@darkengine5931]

High-intensity training like sprint intervals might help with that while still consuming a caloric surplus. You can't do fine-grained spot reduction but I've read a number of papers suggesting that high-intensity physical activity does effectively burn visceral fat in the abdominal cavity, even without a hypocaloric diet (even without being on a calorie deficit). Trunk/abdominal fat tends to be associated with low physical activity and/or poor nutrition. Another thing might be to check your hormones. Hormone imbalances can change the way your body distributes fat and often in a way that leads to more abdominal fat as opposed to places like the thighs and hips.

[@sir7277]

Leg workouts will probably help with that

I'm sorry but I need to correct you 😅 5lbs of muscle and 5lbs of fat still weigh the same. What you're thinking of is that muscle is more dense than fat. Also health care professionals are trained to use BMI in conjunction with other data and it's a very useful tool in a resource limited situation.

[@LianaChau]

Don't apologize! I misspoke haha but yes, dense was the word I was looking for! And good to know about BMI! My main point about that was that on its own, it's not a very good indicator of overall health. :)

for me i gain muscle wayyyy too fast... then again i am a collegiate athlete . like two weeks of lifting i already have sooo much muscle definition.. i need FATTT not muscle lol

[@darkengine5931]

Was it your first two weeks doing those particular lifts/motions? You can usually get very rapid beginner gains early on, especially if you already have the training discipline of a seasoned athlete. I also think with beginner gains, it's possible to gain a good number of pounds of muscle early on, especially in the broad muscles like glutes/lats/hams/quads, even without a caloric surplus and possibly even on a deficit. The muscle gains should start to plateau though at which point a caloric surplus will tend to be needed to maintain reasonable muscle growth, and at that point, the bulking cycles will usually add both fat and muscle if you're training regularly.
