In the environment of almost every person there is such witch a lucky woman who can eat at night without getting fat. Let's get acquainted, I am just such someone's acquaintance. Maybe you too? Let's hug!
The ability to eat and not gain extra pounds is a gift of fate, for which I am very grateful. I can afford everything, as long as my digestive tract does not fail. And he fails sometimes, you know. This was apparently given to me for balance, so that all the sweets in the world did not get to me. Sly ones.
I'll tell you what helps me gain weight. Each kilogram is added with great difficulty. My friend aptly jokes that it is easier for her to lose 5 kg than it is for me to gain one. And I agree with her. And there is.
How to get fat right?
There are advisers who tell you that you need to crack the rolls before going to bed, smear them with peanut butter, but fatter. Go to McDonald's 3 times a week for fries, big burgers and cola. Yeah. Then you have to buy a subscription to a gastroenterologist. Annual, at least, but more often in the end it spills over into life.
Weight gain should be of high quality. Not to harm, but to benefit. Ideally, if you go to a trainer who draws up your workouts and menus and you gain muscle mass instead of fat. Fat, too, if there is a drawback, but good. Strength loads, the right amount and ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, a certain calorie do good deeds.
I have contraindications to power loads, not for one, but for a number of reasons. Yes, and this happens in my any age. Therefore, I have my own approach. I'll tell you first about the scales, then about the products for the set and an important point for gastritics / ulcers. And yet, as it turned out, I didn't eat as much as I thought. Well, let's go in order.
Smart scales
My first supermarket scales that I came across have outlived theirs, and I decided to take smart ones to replace them. Well, what, than I am worse than others! Expensive models are not included in my financial plans, I chose quite budget ones - Noerden MINIMI (you can go to the site by the link).
What a smart scale can do Noerden MINIMI: Find out your mass, BMI, metabolic rate, amount of fat, including visceral, lean body mass, hydration, bone mass and metabolic age. Not a bad kind of entertainment for the whole family - now it will be interesting not only for you to weigh yourself. Maybe the husband will ask for fewer pies? But what if!
They find out all this with the help of biometric sensors; the scales have 4 touch panels on which one has to stand up barefoot. I don't know where you can double-check it all, but it looks fascinating. I know for sure that my BMI and bone density (and therefore mass) are indeed below normal.
I am very glad that my metabolic age is several years younger than the real one, in contrast to the psychological one (where I am already pulling at 70, at least).
Such a smart scale is a fascinating thing, it will be especially interesting for me to observe the dynamics. It is the dynamics that are important in any business. It is also very important for me that they show the weight correctly and there are no big fluctuations, in the end my old scales gave an error of 1.5 kg, for me this is a lot. It's 100-200 grams, just fine.
To analyze body composition, you need to download the free NOERDEN application, each family member can download it to their phone, thus the number of users is not limited. A friend, who is undergoing weight loss preparations for the spring, is now coming to me to weigh in. The main thing is not to lean on her cakes at my place) And we love it. Now I have to eat everything. And they say that there is no female friendship.
Nutrition for weight gain
Meals should be balanced and contain the right amount of calories. Sometimes it seems that you eat a lot, you will count - and there you have accumulated only the daily minimum to maintain vital functions. And that's it! Where does the weight come from? Fats can be useful, they help me in gaining weight - avocados (I love, adore), red fish, nuts, oils with which I dress salads, eggs (in moderation).
Durum pasta is also my faithful assistant. With them, you can cook dozens of variations of delicious dishes.
Since I have gastritis and other problems with the gastrointestinal tract, it is very important NOT to exacerbate it. Undergo FGDS and abdominal ultrasound in time, and several of my other examinations. Otherwise, then the period of exacerbation and recovery with his diets will waste all my kilograms, acquired in a difficult and honest way.
Of course, I allow myself buns and occasional trips to the KFS, I am a living person. But here it is important to keep a balance, not to go to the side of bad fats and carbohydrates, and sometimes indulge. It's definitely more fun to live like that)
If it seems to you that you are eating so much, count the calories. Sometimes this is a misconception. Works the other way around. I just downloaded the application and roughly counted for interest. This is especially important if your food is more dietary due to health problems. In an exacerbation, of course, everything is strictly according to the doctor's recommendations, after that, you can gently increase calories, moving towards a calorie surplus, if there are no contraindications.
Good luck, my dear readers! Love yourself and accept who you are. This is crucial. Let your desire to look your best be sustainable and coupled with love, not hate for your body. Thanks for your likes and attention, subscribe, I'm interested!
