As a matter of fact the only two ways of weight gain are – in muscles and in fat. The heck with weight gain in fat is that fat disperses through out your body regardless to where YOU want it to be. The sad thing is, for women, fat lodges especially on buttock and waist areas.

This leaves us with building muscles as the only solution. Workouts that help build muscles should become a part of your daily routine if you intend to gain weight. That shouldn’t however scare you off doubting that you’ll end up as a “body builder”. No, it won’t make you as huge as Arnie or something! The fact is, women never produce testosterone enough to become really muscular. To top that, since muscles weigh more than fat, a little gain in muscles can work miracles for you – both in terms of weight gain and to accentuate their natural sexy curves!

Make weight training a part of your workouts. To make things easier and faster, cut out the cardio from your workout routine even if most of the magazines recommend them. This is simply because cardio burns more fat and calories. You should, instead, include weights in your workout which helps build muscles. As you do this, you gain weight in the areas you want.

Get some sleep. Another solution to your problem is – sleeping. And we thought it was all about sweating and working hard! As we sleep, our body produces natural growth hormones which helps increase muscle mass and in turn increases weight. So, make sure you get your eight hours “beauty sleep”. Another important thing to take care of is – stress. A stressed out body doesn’t get enough sleep and loses weight.

Eat right. We don’t need to be told that weight gain is accelerated with the increased amount of calorie intake. Thus, to gain weight- indulge. Make sure you get at least 500 to 1000 calories into your body per day. This means, consuming around 2500 – 3000 calories per day, the average being 2000 calories. Divide this into six small meals and concentrate in the protein foods as proteins are the building blocks of muscles.

So add protein powder and shakes in your daily diet and make sure you get around 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight. For example, consume 150 grams of protein per day, if you weigh 150 pounds. The best way of protein intake remains the natural protein rich food items- lean meats, fish, beans and pulses, eggs and milk. However, in the busy lifestyles we have today, it becomes difficult to grab these. So, go for a protein shake at least once a day. These are loaded with proteins and can provide much as 50-60 grams of protein in a shot.
