Gaining weight can be done in one of two ways: the healthy way or the unhealthy way. The unhealthy way involves eating massive amounts of fatty foods and getting no exercise. The healthy way is a little bit more difficult. But those wishing to gain weight will thank themselves for it.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Plan out what you're going to do. Don't just jump into your efforts without a plan of action. Give yourself a good plan and an allotted time in order to gain your desired amount of weight.

  2. Step 2

    Improve your diet. Just because you're skinny does not mean you're healthy. You can eat healthy foods that will also help you gain weight. But the weight you gain will turn into weight that your body wants and needs. Adding foods like avocados, oils and nuts to your diet can help you add much-needed calories. These foods are healthy for you, too.

  3. Step 3

    Exercise to gain weight. You want to keep your body strong and healthy, and exercise along with a good diet is a good way to do that. Also, with exercise comes muscle, and muscle does make up weight. If you're looking to gain weight through fat instead of muscle, revamp your exercises so that they're not geared so much toward fat-burning workouts.

  4. Step 4

    Watch your results. This doesn't happen overnight, and it takes a little getting used to. If you're going over the limit you wish to gain, take it easy on your diet and exercise practices. If you're not gaining as quickly as you'd like to, change your eating and exercising habits slightly until you see the results you want. But remember, before you change anything, give it time.

  5. Step 5

    Try some nutritional supplements geared at bulking up. You may wish to try products like glucose or protein tablets to help you enhance your muscles.
