No diet is the best diet.\n\nJust eat (larger) healthy meals (5- 6 per day)\n\nDrink water during the day, orange juice or fruit juice with all meals. (helps to absorb iron in meals and vitamin c) drink green tea or coffee or substitute drink with FULL fat milk. (Canned fruit in natural juice is best)\n\nBreakfast; 1 piece of fresh fruit and cereal with full cream fat milk.\n\nMorning tea; 1 piece of fresh or canned fruit or biscuit with full fat cheese, or full fat yogurt. \n\nLunch; 1 sandwich and plate of soup or salad & vegebales with meat or chicken or fish,\n\nAfternoon tea; the same as morning tea.\n\nDinner; meat, or fish or chicken with salad and vegetables and potatoes.\n\nSupper; If you are a poor sleeper or not very over weight. porridge; low fat cereal, yogurt or hot chocolate milk (all of these are relaxing and light on your stomach in the evening) Other wise try to eat your last main meal early (5.30 - 7pm) or only eat supper on days you have been working really hard or missed a meal during the day.\n\nDecrease your daily exercise to walking, or swimming, or bike riding or whatever you like to increase your heart rate for at least 20 minutes straight.\n\nYou are 5'5" or 165 cm tall; as a female anything from 47 to 60 kg or 7 stone - 9 stone or 98 to 116 pounds is normal depending on your body shape. \n\nIf you have small breasts the lighter if large breasts the heavier end would be more normal.\n\nOnly you would know what is right.\n\nIt is more about being healthy and looking good than being a certain weight.\n16 ounces per pound, 14 pounds per stone. or 2.2 pounds per kilo gram.

Obviously, you want to gain muscle. In order to do that, you must train them using heavy resistance. The rule of thumb is, in order to gain weight, you must eat more calories than you burn. I'm willing to wager that you're a tall skinny guy, correct? So your metabolism is probably very fast and you have a hard time gaining weight. I recommend doing barbell curls and/or close-grip chin-ups (palms facing your face). Your goal is to do 3 sets of each exercise, with a weight you can handle for no more than 10 repetitions. If you can do more than 10 repetitions, add more weight. Using barbells or dumbells may be easier for you to use, in the beginning, opposed to body weight exercises like the chin-up. However, you should still try to implement the chin-up. It develops good biceps strength and size as well as good upper back stength and size. The most efficient way to gain weight, is to incorporate the squat, deadlift, and bench press. These are movements refered to as, compound movements. The reason is, they stimulate multiple muscle groups when you perform them. The more muscle you stimulate, the more growth potential you have. So eat a lot of good quality food like: rice, potatoes, green vegetables, fruit, eggs, lean meat, and nuts. Learn to read food labels to know how much energy/calories are in the foods you eat. Start eating about 3000 calories a day for the first week. If you're gaining weight, keep the calories the same until you stop. If you're not gaining weight, add 500 more calories. It's reasonable to add 1-2 lbs/.5kg-1kg per week, of body weight. Good luck!

My friend has this same problem . . . but if you're active and eating right then there's not too much you can do. You could sneak in extra calories with liquids and eat more frequently outside of that you may just have to wait until your metabolism slows down.

OK, first of all, you are not overweight. You are tall and weigh what you are supposed to. What you can do is exercise the areas you are not happy with. If you starve yourself or eat very little, you will only slow down your metabolism and gain a bunch of weight once you start eating normally. Don't play games with your health.

The key here is slow down your metabolism....and the way to do that is to eat less meals during the day but eat bigger meals when you do eat. This way your body has too much food to digest and your body stores the fat longer. Obviously the more unhealthy the meal the better for weight gain...however you don't mention the reason for you wanting to gain weight.\n\nIf it is a medical condition such as your thyroid then nothing will help to rectify your weight but medical help.\n\nAlso there are plenty of products on the market at the moment such as shakes to drink etc which help to build muscle....maybe try one of them, or even drinking beer adds on the pounds!!

that depends on how fast you want to gain and if you want it as fat or muscle.\n\nIf you don't really care how you look and are just after weight gain - eat double the portions you are eating now. Concentrate more on protein and carbohydrates. Fast food is a great weight gainer. As well as chocolates, softdrinks, cakes, pastries, donuts, snackfoods, etc. (you know the food I mean) \n\nIf you want to look fit as you gain weight, I'd suggest a weight training program, coupled with increased food intake, not necessarily double your intake. You'll find that when you exercise your appetite also increases. Just feed that craving and exercise and you'll see the pounds come on.

Even when you want to gain weight, your calories should come from foods that are good for you.\n\n- Cut out empty calorie foods such as sugary snacks and white flour foods. Breads, pastas and cereals should come from whole grains.\n- Good sources of protein include organic meats, fish, and organic poultry.\n- Drink protein-rich beverages (e.g. milk-based fruit shakes).\n- Have fruit juices between meals.\n- Munch on nuts and seeds, which are high in calories and many other nutrients.\n- Increase the number of meals per day to 5 or 6 small balanced meals.\n\nProtein powders and shakes can be added as meals. Some are flavored and only need added water and some others can blended with water or your choice of juices to improve the taste. It would be a plus to add a small amount of flax seed oil and some psillium powder to add some healthy fiber. \n\nYou may find these sites helpful:\nhttp://www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/Handouts/pdfs/gaining_weight.pdf\nhttp://www.suplimednutrients.com/articles/healthy-weight-gain.php\n\nGood luck...

Try these tips to put your metabolism into overdrive\n\nGet pumped\n\nThe body bums calories in its muscle cells, so the more muscle you have, the more calories you'll use up--even at rest. And you shouldn't worry that building more muscle will make you look like Vin Diesel. "We don't have the amount of testosterone guys have to get that big," says Ann Yelmokas McDermott, Ph.D., a nutritionist and research scientist at Tufts University. Cardiovascular exercise will also help you burn fat and build more lean muscle. (For examples of interval-and-strength-training exercises that can increase your metabolism, see the fitness story, "Go for the Burn.")\n\nDon't skip meals\n\nIf you go long periods of time without eating, your body will try to conserve energy by burning fewer calories, says Cynthia Sass, a registered dietician and spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. And skipping meals "sets you up to be overhungry later on," adds Madelyn H. Fernstrom, Ph.D., director of the Weight Management Center at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Instead try to nibble on small meals throughout the day. Nibbling will help keep you full while you're waiting for lunch and dinner, which could stop you from overeating. And in addition to getting all your meals in, avoid extreme diets that call for serious calorie cutting--they can actually reduce your basal metabolic rate (BMR) by up to 30 percent.\n\nDrink plenty of water\n\n"Lack of water can slow the metabolic rate," says John Acquaviva, Ph.D., professor of Health and Human Performance at Roanoke College in Salem, Virginia. "Since water is the body's most important nutrient, the liver will turn its concentration to water retention instead of doing other duties, such as burning fat." Dehydration can also be mistaken for hunger, so if you're thirsty you may end up eating more.\n\nGo for protein\n\nEating protein stimulates the center of the brain, which regulates hunger and fullness, so you feel more satisfied than when you eat carbs, says Fernstrom. And according to Foster, proteins give your metabolic rate a slight boost so you burn more calories eating them.\n\nIncrease your intake of low-fat dairy\n\nA 2002 study that observed Black women found that the higher their calcium intake was, the lower the measure of their body fat. Some researchers believe that high calcium diets--about three servings of low-fat dairy a day--may help suppress a hormone that slows the breakdown of fat cells and instructs them to make even more fat. A 2003 Journal of Nutrition study also found that some of the other nutrients in dairy may help in the reduction of body weight and body fat.\n\nHave breakfast\n\nStudies have shown that people who eat breakfast lose more weight than people who don't. Why? Your body slows down when you sleep and doesn't speed back up again until you put some fuel in it. Eating breakfast may also make you less likely to snack throughout the day. But that doesn't mean you should reach for a plate of bacon and eggs. Choose plenty of fruit and whole grains instead. Fiber is a particularly good breakfast bet because it will leave you feeling full longer.\n\nCut back on alcohol\n\nNot only are alcoholic beverages high in empty calories, but drinking can also lower your inhibitions, Fernstrom says, making it easier to say yes to all those fattening foods you might otherwise take a pass on.

Also, don't get hung up on "typical" breakfast foods.  Try a chicken breast left over from the night before, a piece of wheat toast with peanut butter or a toasted english muffin.  Small snacks every two hours keep the metabolism running higher as well.

If you are trying to gain weight and do it properly go see a nutritionist, or even an employee over at GNC. There are supplements that you can take to help you gain weight. Since it sounds like you have a quick metabolism,  you should eat every 2-3 hours with proteins and carbs. Avoid the sugar, although a bowl of ice cream before bed will surely help you put on some pounds. But try and do it the healthy way.
