Why is your weight not going up?
The most common reason is a small appetite. Many people say they eat a lot, but when a week is written down the daily total comes out below what the body needs. The second reason is eating only three times a day with nothing in between, which keeps the daily total low.
The third is a fast metabolism, which often runs in the family. Those people need a little more food, a little more often. The fourth is a medical cause such as a thyroid problem, diabetes, worms or general weakness. If weight keeps dropping, get checked by a doctor first.
Remember, weight goes up only when the body gets more calories than it needs each day. Around 300 to 500 extra calories a day usually means about 2 to 4 kg in a month. That is why the plan below puts a snack between every meal.
Your daily plan
- 2 eggs (omelette or boiled)
- 2 paratha or 2 roti with butter
- 1 glass of full cream milk
- 5–6 almonds or walnuts
- Banana shake: 1 glass milk + 1 banana + 1 tbsp honey
- Or a handful of dates and nuts
- 2–3 roti or a large plate of rice
- Chicken, meat or daal (a good big serving)
- 1 bowl of yogurt
- Salad: cucumber, tomato, carrot
- 1 sandwich or 1 paratha with tea
- Or peanut butter on 2 slices of bread
- 2 roti
- Vegetables or meat
- 1 bowl of daal or chickpeas
- 1 glass of lassi or milk
- 1 glass of warm milk, with a spoon of honey if you like
Do this
- Three main meals and 2–3 snacks every day. Never skip a meal.
- Protein at every meal: eggs, milk, yogurt, daal, chickpeas, chicken, meat.
- Weight training 3–4 days a week. Without it, the weight you gain is fat, not muscle.
- Drink water between meals rather than with them, or your stomach fills up too early.
- Sleep 7–8 hours. Muscle is built during sleep.
Avoid this
- Gaining weight on junk food alone: burgers and cold drinks add fat, not health.
- Trying to gain more than one kilo a week.
- Tea on an empty stomach, or too much tea and coffee, which kills the appetite.
