I'm seriously underweight and I'm fed up with comments telling me I am too skinny.

What kind of diet I should follow? I am a girl btw. So not really sure all the guys' diet here can help.

Home Remedies for Underweight
Underweight home remedies and natural cures, Questions and answers

Underweight treatment using Musk Melon
Musk melon is one of the most effective home remedies for thinness. If the melon cure is properly carried out, a rapid gain in weight can usually be achieved. In this mode of treatment, only musk melons are taken three times during the day for forty days or more. In the beginning, only three kilograms of melons are taken daily for three days. Then the quantity is increased by one kilogram daily till it is sufficient to appease the hunger. Only the sweet and fresh fruits of the best variety are used in the treatment.

Underweight treatment using Mango-Milk Cure
The mango-milk cure is also an ideal treatment for thinness. For this mode of treatment, ripe and sweet mangoes should always be selected. They should be taken thrice a day-morning, afternoon, and evening. Two medium sized mangoes should be taken first and then followed by a glass of milk. Mango is rich in sugar but deficient in protein. On the other hand, milk is rich in protein but deficient in sugar. The deficiency of one is made up by the other. Mango thus combines very well with milk and an exclusive mango-milk diet taken for at least one month, will lead to improvement in health and vigour and gain in weight

Underweight treatment using Milk Cure
An exclusive milk diet for rapid gain of weight has been advocated by some nature cure practitioners. At the beginning of this mode of treatment, the patient should fast for three days on warm water and lime juice so as to cleanse the system. Thereafter, he should have a glass of milk every two hours from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on the first day, a glass every hour and half the next day, and a glass every hour the third day. Then the quantity of milk should be gradually increased so as to take a glass every half an hour from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., if such a quantity can be tolerated fairly comfortably

Underweight treatment using Figs
Figs are an excellent remedy for increasing weight in case of thinness. The high percentage of the rapidly assimilable sugar in this fruit make it a strengthening and fattening food. Three dried figs soaked in water should be taken twice daily

Underweight treatment using Raisins
Raisins are a good food for those who wish to gain weight. Thirty grams a day may be taken for this purpose

Underweight treatment using Nutrients
Nutrients which help to keep the nerves relaxed are of utmost importance as nervousness causes all the muscles to become tense, and the energy which goes into the tensing wastefully uses up a great deal of food. Although all vitamins and minerals are required for relaxation, the most important once are vitamin D and B6,calcium, and magnesium. The richest sources of vitamin D are milk, cod-liver oil, and rays of the sun. Calcium is supplied by milk and yoghurt. Magnesium can be obtained from green leafy vegetables such as spinach, parsley, turnip, radish, and beet tops. These vegetables should, preferably, be taken in salad form or should be lightly cooked.

too hard understand,because my english weak.
can make it simply ?
now i trying eat more than normal only.
is this right way to gain weight ?

You need a high protein diet firstly. Early in the morning all the way till before you sleep. You want to pump it up faster, get protein shakes.

Next, you need to work out till your muscles goes to failure. Means, you work out till your muscles cant do it anymore! Work on different muscle groups everyday and you'll see changes in 1 month, and by 3 months, you're almost there!

erm... high protein diet can include too snacks? those snack is high in carb... is tat help for gain weight? isnt overtraining on muscle cant gain weight but also retard the grow rate ( i saw some comment in somewhere but forgot)

You might be right.
May I know if anyone gets
taller by drinking milk and for how long?

1. You want to gain weight in a form of muscles right? So concentrate on protein, but dont forget good fats and carbo. All taken in the proper ratio.
2. Until 21, you have not completed your skeletal growth.. so chill.. you can still exercise, but really go all out after 21
3. Then you need to eat EVEN more to overcome your metabolism!


You should be drinking milk during your childhood, before your bones complete their growth

lol, if thats the case, Lee Priest will be taller than Shaq oniel.

no wonder la i'm not growing.i'm under eat.6 month past nvr put up even 1 kg
