How can I gain weight quickly and easily?

Weight gain can be achieved through an increase of water weight (hydration), fat weight or muscle weight.

To gain weight you’ll need to consume more calories than your burn each day. Resistance exercise will help you gain muscle weight instead of fat weight. 

If you are just starting out, I’d recommend lifting weights three times a week.

Get a trainer to teach you the correct technique from the start.

Based on sound nutrition and a vigorous weight training regime, the maximum amount of muscle you can gain in a month is one kilo.

You’ll need to dial in your calorie intake, provide your body with the right amount of protein and commit to a regular workout regime. 

When it comes to muscle building, progression must be gradual and long term consistency is the key.

Your diet will dictate your results, that’s why I recommend using a nutritionist to help you get started, as the programme you should follow needs to be based on your individual starting point and goals.
