I am about 15 pounds underweight. I am 13 years old 4'10'' and 70 pounds. I know that bad, I'm don't have any eating disorders or nothing. I just have a very high metabolism and have a slender body shape (most women in my family on my moms side are bulit like that). I don't want to gain weight fast. I know it takes like a month to gain about 3 pounds or something. But I just want to know are there any diets that can help me gain about 1-3 pounds each month?

Talking to some people about your diet is probably the best. People who can see your build and body type. Contrary to popular belief, eating high calorie foods wont help your diet, it will hurt it, try talking to your parents, your gym or health teacher, your cooking teacher at school, a councler, your doctor, or ask your mom to take you to a nutritionist. Those are some of the easiest ways to get on a good diet plan. And don't worry your weight should slowly go up. Relax, don't fret about it, but also try and get on a plan so that you will have a great body for the rest of your life! Good luck, hope I helped a bit.

Chances are it's just the normal way your body works, but they can make sure there's nothing else going on, and when they find out you're otherwise healthy, they can help you plan meals that will be healthy but will also help you gain weigh. McDonald's, for instance, might help you gain weight, but it's not healthy. Trained specialists will be able to help you find better ways.

Maybe eat McDonalds or Burger king twice a week and youll slowly begin to gain weight. Hope I helped! Merry Christmas! =] [ xlickablex's advice column | Ask xlickablex A Question ]
