Tips to Gain Weight Naturally 

1.    Keeping an eye on your calories

I am not asking you to weigh everything and calculate the calories it has or to always carry a calculator with you. Just calculate your average consumed and burned calories in a day. And just try to eat a bit more than your burned calories. 

Remember, lying on the bed after eating doesn’t make you gain weight, especially when it comes to “...in a healthy way”. That will just turn you into a soft rubber ball.  

According to nutritionists, such activities never help you in gaining weight. Weight gain can be done by absorbing more calories than you burn. And when those calories will start accumulating in your body, you’ll gain weight. 

2.    Get enough sleep.

In this busy world where everyone is running for materialistic desires, one should always have a proper sleep. Not only for a maintained healthy body weight but, also for other medical benefits like the proper function of mind, rest, coping with stress and anxiety, and much more. 

Maintaining a proper sleep cycle can help you to gain weight. Sleeps help your body to perform all the functions properly and process that eaten food in the right manner. 

An adult at least requires 6-8 hours of sleep every day and a power nap at noon can also help. So, next time make sure to get a good and quality sleep for a desired number of hours for gaining some weight.

So, why not we use it here?  No, you don’t have to tell your mind that your gaining weight. But something that you should do is using bigger plates or bowls.  

The simple concept behind this is that the food you were consuming prior will look less in these bigger utensils. And this will trigger your mind to add some more to your plate hence, helps you to eat more than usual. And by applying the first tip, you will be consuming more calories and the burned one would be the same as earlier. Following this simple trick can help you gain weight and observable results can be seen in just a week or even earlier.
