it all depends on if you do activities or not because if you do activities then your not going to gain weight becaude your moveing around alot. but if you don't do sports then your weight will come on you very soon

My older brother clued me into something a long time ago about diet....and thus far,  it's always worked for me.  Just check for three things on the nutrition label of your foods....check the fat, protien,  and carb content..if your protien and carbs are each more grams than your fat grams,  you're good to go.  Now,  we're all different,  and some diets work for some and not for others,  but I can tell you this....I have been many body types over the last 15 or so years,  and no matter what my build had been at any given time,  this one has always worked for me.  Good luck,  hope you get where you want!!

Every day you need to eat at least\n500g vegetables! Drink 2 -2,5 liters water,\neat as much salad and fruit as you like,\n100g low fat meat {e.g. chicken or fish} \nno more than 30g fat (but DO eat 30g otherwise you start craving for it!!!)\nfat is often "hidden" in food like chocolate (cacao-butter) and fat cheeses.\nEat "good" fat like it is in olive-oil and almonds (nuts in general)\nEat 100g sweets per week. But DO allow it to yourself!\nAnd if you keep moving (sports) on a daily basis, you'll be fine with your weight!!

You can try eating 7 times a day in very small portions. Say every 3 hours or so and it shouldn't matter what you eat. This way your body uses everything it needs from what you've eaten. There will be nothing left to turn into body fat as with eating 3 larger meals a day. Drink plenty of water in between. Good luck.

Reduce fat: Fats have more than twice the calories than protein or carbohydrate! Our body converts excess dietary fat to body fat. Therefore you should restrict intake of high fat foods. Learn to avoid fat in healthy diet.\nKeep total fat intake between 20 to 35 percent of calories, with less than 10 percent of calories from saturated fatty acids and rest from sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Keep trans fatty acid consumption as low as possible\nLimit sugar & alcohol: Foods with a lot of added sugar and alcoholic drinks are just empty calories. They provide little nutrients to our body. Alcohol slows down the body’s use of fat for fuel and the fat is likely to be stored in the body (Notice the fatty drinkers).\nDrink at least 8 glasses of water every day. Water is without any calorie, filling and refreshing, and is a natural appetite suppressant.\nEat fresh plenty of natural foods such as vegetables, fruits, & whole grains. These foods are packed with vitamins, minerals and fiber and are low in calories.\nEat a low glycemic index, low fat diet. Avoid white foods such as sugar, refined flour, white bread and white potatoes, and animal products from your diet. These are high Glycemic Index foods causing dramatic fluctuations in blood sugar level.\nEat slowly: You eat more if you eat fast, as it takes about 15 minutes for our brain to get the message from our stomach that we have eaten enough. If we eat too fast, we will eat too much before we even realize we're full!\nInclude a low fat protein-rich food like tofu, beans, eggs, and low fat milk, yogurt or cottage cheese with every meal. These foods give feeling of fullness for longer time.\n\nTips For Improving Your Metabolism\n\nBuild your muscles: Do you Know: 1 pound of fat burns only 2 calories a day while 1 pound of muscle burns 50 calories a day !!! The more muscle you build, the faster your metabolism will be, and the more calories you will burn while at rest. When muscle mass decreases, the metabolic rate also drops.\nDo not skip any meal: Eat 5-6 small meals every day. Starving slows down metabolism. Our body will start conserving calories as fat rather than burning them.

You can't get rid of fat in a particular area of your body.  You have to lose weight all over.  Two pounds a week is realistic.  Cut out salt (this means cutting down on prepared foods--read the labels), eat smaller helpings, eat more veggies, much less starch and no sugar.  Exercise to keep your body's metabolism from dropping into starvation mode.  You have to change eating habits.  Drink milk, but make it skim.  Pile ice in a glass, squeeze lemon or lime juice over it and sip it as it melts, that's your new snack food.  Don't starve yourself, just pick low calorie, filling foods.  And don't skip breakfast.  If you can't live with your eating plan, you won't keep the weight off.  It's going to be like this from now on.  Trim fat off meats and skin off chicken.  You can occasionally enjoy the foods you really like--such as fried chicken--if you cut back on your normal intake of calories and make a habit of it.  Good luck.

Well, I have a bit of the same problem. Like you, I've been lean my whole life. If you feel you are underweight, try going to see a doctor who can check out your thyroid. You may have what I have, hyperthyroid. So we burn off energy faster than the normal person which is why we stay lean. However, to gain weight consists of certain factors. For one, people will tell you to try eating more. Instead, write down what you eat for about a week and then compare it to the food pyramid. Based on what you eat, it will tell you what food to eat more of to gain weight. For me, I realized I needed to eat more carbohydrates. Be careful if people tell you to eat a lot of protein. Everything must be done in moderation. Too much protein can have an effect on female hormonic changes as well as other things not so good. Also, start weight lifting. This will increase muscle as well as weight (What's called BMI; you can look it up online). I hope I've been of some help.

I'm sure there is fat and salt in it, if you're trying to avoid them.  Unless you have it every day, it probably can't make you fat.

you might have to revise your diet plan maybe. keeping your calories too far down will keep your body from losing fat as it is trying to preserve everything you take in. try eating more protein to build your muscle. vary your exercises. your body will get used to a routine quickly. by alternating exercises it always has to work and keep up to speed.

It may not be what you eat but how you eat. You can eat pretty much what you want as long as you use strict portion control.\nAlso, vary your exercise, the body can get used to one type of exercise.\nHave you tried water aerobics? It's really fun plus you have the resistance of water to help you.

You failed to share your height, and present weight.  That makes a difference in the calorie intake, etc. you allow each day. Everyone hits a plateau when dieting...sometimes more than once. Eat high lean protein, very low carbs, (try to keep it around 1200 calories per day) continue your exercises, and usually you'll start losing again.  Also, it's important to get at least 8 hours of good sleep a night. Studies have recently found that lack of sleep can actually cause weight gain!

Look, different people are going to be different sizes.  I'd tell you the same thing that I tell folks who are (or think they are)overweight, but are still healthy.  Trust your body and your appetite.\n\nWork with your mind to clear away the negativity about food, and listen to your body.  It knows what it needs instinctively.  If you're not a big eater, just don't worry about it.  Your body is probably just telling you that it's balanced for your activity level, and that you shouldn't force yourself to eat more than you need.\n\nSome people are more vulnerable to things like diabetes and heart disease than average.  So maybe your body is telling you that at this stage of your life, this is the size you need to be to be healthy.  There may be times when you want to eat more, and times when you want to eat less.  I'll bet you would eat more if your activity level was higher.\n\nHowever, if you notice an imbalance...that your appetite isn't in line with your activity level, and you may start passing out, having skin problems, or other types of malnutrition symptoms, it is your body trying to tell you that something is missing between your appetite signal and what you actually need.\n\nIn that case, you still don't want to force yourself, but you may want to try taking a multivitamin and other supplements to bring things back in line.\n\nThere are also high calorie energy foods that you can eat that will provide what you need without alot of junk.  I don't like much sugar either, so when I was having energy problems but lack of appetite from hypothyroid, I would have a banana with peanut butter, celery with cream cheese, or a packet of those cheese peanut butter crackers.\n\nIf it's the chewing and swallowing that bothers you (I used to have trouble swallowing too), then something liquid like a yoghurt drink or Ovaltine might do the job.\n\nDon't worry about what the jealous have to say about your weight.  You know, even as a fat woman, I sometimes get comments from people because I handle it well and don't let it stop me from doing whatever I want to do.  So just tune the nega-nags out and just live your life.  Your health is your business.

You may of heard this before-healthy food i.e. fruit , veg the right amount of fats and salt and exercise not neccesarily loads of it, even walking every day would do. Try not to eat stuff you know will make you gain weight-when you feel fat after eating something avoid it... common sense

First of all, eating lots and lots does not mean that you will become fat and gain weight. It depends on the mental stature. With hyper-tension, you can never be healthy. You will inhibit disorders with symptoms like gas, acidity, headache, frequent cold(allergy), etc.....\n\nSecondly, eating a lot, in your case, is due to negligency. The human digestive system needs some time to react, to inform your brain that you are satisfied with the food intake, or you are no more hungry, or that was enough. In most of the cases, the muscles of our stomach has to inform the brain that the food intake is optimum(according to space). This can be solved by eating slowly and chewing the food thoroughly(it lets the saliva adequate time to do its job). I am sorry to say that your case is more acute. You even neglect the responses from your tissues and organs, as you are consumed in deep thought.\n\nThe best way is to visit a psychiatrist, or else, try hard to enjoy the ambience where you are havind the food, or think about this mail. It might help.
