Hi, I'm Rachael Richardson. I'm a licensed nutritionist and registered dietitian with Nutrilution in South Beach, Florida. In this clip we're going to talk about how to eat to gain weight, and in this case we're talking about gaining healthy weight versus the kind of weight gain that also comes along with increased rates of heart disease, and cancer and stroke and different diseases like that. So we really want to focus on our healthy foods, and in particular our healthy fats. And the way....the easiest way that you can gain healthy weight is by adding a little bit more forms of fat to pretty much everything that you eat. So, if you talk about breakfast, instead of just having eggs, if you could add just a little bit of organic, heavy cream to your egg base, as well as perhaps some more olive oil and or organic butter. You can add some cheese, although, you know, you want to make sure that cheese isn't a bad food for you in particular. Other things that you can do are when you're eating pasta, and I recommend brown rice pasta over wheat pasta, to again, in your tomato sauce, more olive oil, more cream. To things like salads and sandwiches, adding avocados, and focusing more on also foods like coconut oil and coconut milk. These are just some easy, simple tips on how you can healthily gain weight. This has been Rachael with Nutrilution in South Beach, Florida.
