There are many details to consider when putting a weight gain food plan together that suits you as an individual. You must take into consideration your lifestyle, time constraints, food preferences, family and social obligations, job and/or profession, and last, but not least, what you want to do. Do you want, or need, to lose fat? Do you need to gain weight in general? Do you have a health concern that requires you not eat indiscriminately?
The first realization you must face is that there is no 30-minute quick fix solution. In the beginning you’ll feel like all you’re thinking about is food and what you’re eating and when you’re going to eat it. This is an annoying, but necessary evil. After a short time, it will become a no-brainer and a very natural part of your life. You will be able to “eyeball” different foods and portions without counting and measuring. Take it one meal at a time, one day at a time. Don’t worry if it doesn’t all work out perfectly immediately, and don’t concern yourself if you slip up and eat something that’s not on your “list.”
Although this site and other health sites such as Healthy Fellow will give you a base from which to start and some ideas and recommendations about what to eat and when to eat it, nothing is set in stone. What works spectacularly well for your friend probably won’t work quite as well for you and vice versa. Further, what works for you in the beginning probably won’t produce equally good results as time passes. If you exercise properly and consistently – and I’m assuming you will because you want a better quality of life – you will have a different body a year from now. You will have more muscle and less fat (assuming you need to lose fat). This means you will need to eat more to keep your system running. Muscle requires more calories to maintain. I’ll bet you didn’t think someone was going to give you permission to eat more!
The main thing is not to become discouraged and give up. Mother Nature does not like drastic change of any kind so you must coax her along. It’s the same idea as getting your recalcitrant dog to go outside in the rain when the vixen would prefer to sleep on the couch in front of a warm fire.
