• Eat a burger
• eat more.
• Here's a couple of good tips:Spend no more than an hour on working out at the gym every time. After 45 minutes of activity Cortisol levels rise up in your muscles and lead to muscle breakdown - not a good thing for how to muscle build or for your "how can I gain weight" quest.Don't bother with isolation exercises that only target individual muscles. Instead, focus on major combination exercises like the bench press, deadlift, squat, and back rows, all of which target multiple muscles and lead to the most muscle gain results.There are a lot more in the Source article below.
• You should always eat healthy whether or not you want to gain weight, but to gain weight is quite difficult if you play sport, because (I'm going to substitute "fat" with "large") large people tend to eat more but athletes do to but the difference is they exercise and work off the fat eaten from foods. So an easy way to gain weight is well... be lazy

How to Lose Weight Without Relying on Exercise

The metabolism of the human body is a complex system. Many people are overweight and struggle with endless dieting without success. Part of the problem may lie in a slow metabolism. If your metabolism is very slow there are ways that you can make it become more efficient.Being Female: Men naturally have more muscle than women. Increased muscle mass leads to a metabolism that naturally burns more fat. Women therefore will always tend to have slower metabolisms than men.The right breakfast choices are important. A good choice is a yogurt with some fresh fruit. It's also wiser to eat smaller meals throughout the day. Your digestive system won't be overworked enabling you to have a more efficient metabolism.Here are some of the top rated foods for increasing your metabolic rate; fruits such as apples, berries, avocados and lemons, vegetables such as asparagus, spinach, sweet potatoes and tomatoes, dairy such as cottage cheese and yogurt, proteins such as seafood and grains such as flax and oatmeal. Additional tips: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Six to eight glasses per day is a good rule of thumb.There are many other foods that help boost your metabolism, eating the right foods will give you the energy needed to stay active and drinking lots of water will keep you flushed from the bad toxins in your body, and these types of food will keep you feeling fuller, and by eating small amounts like every 2-3 hours will also keep you full. Good Luck!

• There is an interesting idea of intermittent fasting. It's on a PBS program called "Eat, Fast and Live Longer"... very interesting. He speaks about the monster advantage you get out of fasting (like physical improvement of blood pressure and stuff), but different strategies. One is to fast every other day. You can go on their site and watch the program I'm pretty sure.Also... .if you were to do the Atkins diet and then do intermittent fasting at the same time, I bet you'd see good results.The good thing about Atkins is that it keeps you off the junk food - so you're only eating the highest quality foods.... The upshot of this is that you get a lot less hungry because you're eating foods your body needs not just junk and sugar. THEN... when your appetite is down, it's somewhat easier to fast as well. Intermittent fasting takes two forms - every other day and something like 5-2... five days of normal eating and two days of fasting. And on the PBS program there's some good hard science to back it up.
• Well if you only eat when you're hungry you will probably eat 3-5 meals a day by using this method so they kind of link in together xx

How to Cleanse My Colon and Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:

Hey Eman, Im a personal trainer and there is something many do not know about cardio and that is there is a big difference in cardio vs fat burning. You have to keep your target heartrate in the fat burning zone IF it goes higher you are more or less working out your heart, which is good, but also your burning less fat. The best way to burn fat is lower impact and higher time. Go online and search on yahoo "whats my target heartrate to burn fatfat" You will put in your information (ie gender, height, weight, etc) Get a heart monitor and keep it in that zone. A low impact treadmill workout of 45 min will be much more beneficial than high impact of five minutes. Also, if you are able add weights to workout. Same thing: low impact & higher reps. Also workout upper body one day and lower body the next. Muscles need one day to recover to get maximum efficiency. Your doing great on crunches, abs can be worked out daily. Once you start losing weight, which you will ;), make sure to be aware of the dreaded plateau, which means you are no longer challenging your body enough to burn fat. You will know it when weight loss stops. When this happens, generally in a month or two, recalculate your target heart rate, or THR. Also if you do add weights I would recommend using measurements and the scale because as Im sure you have heard, muscle weighs more than fat. Keep up with all this in a little log book. I hope this helped some, Good Luck Eman :)
