So i was looking a picture of me taken recently and it scared me cuz I look skin and bones.
Alex keeps calling me kepeng and small and is always telling to take food with lots of protien but it doesnt seem to be working.
So I googled "How to gain weight fast" and wiki provided me with answers.
Here is what man's amazing creation of Wiki gave me;
Change your eating habits. Aim for three large meals and 2-3 hefty snacks per day. Drink shakes, milk, or juice instead of water, coffee, tea, or diet soda. Focus on the following foods:
- Breads - hearty and dense (whole wheat, oat bran, pumpernickel, rye) are more nutritious than white bread; cut thick slices and spread generously with peanut butter, jam, honey, hummus, or cream cheese.
- Vegetables - look for starchy vegetables (potatoes, peas, corns, carrots, winter squash, beets) versus watery vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, green beans, cucumbers).
- Fruit - choose dense fruit (bananas, pears, apples, pineapple, dried fruit) over watery fruit (oranges, peaches, plums, berries, watermelon).
- Soups - Go for hearty cream soups instead of broth-based soups. If you have trouble with edema or high blood pressure you may want to avoid all store-bought soup.
- Added oils - in cooking, add a generous amount of oil. The healthiest oils are unrefined (extra virgin) oils such as olive, coconut, canola, palm, and of course butter. The less healthy but still acceptable sources of oil are those high in omega-6 fatty acids (pro-inflammatory) such as safflower, sunflower, and peanut oils. The unhealthy oils are those containing trans fat such as shortening, and the antinutrient-rich soybean oil (aka vegetable oil).
- Spreads! - Spreading delicious calorie-rich toppings on toast, crackers, pita, and any other carbohydrate source is an excellent way to increase caloric intake. Some good high-calorie spreads are guacamole, olive oil, cream cheese, hummus, butter, nut butters, sour cream, cheese slices, mayonnaise. Even better is to mix these with shredded meats like chicken or fish.
Time to hit the grocery stores cuz I'm packing up on bread and cheese till I end up like this....
Growing up with Elmo, Cookie Moster, Bert and Ernie, Oscar the grouch, The Count, I admit I am still a kid at heart and still love the Sesame Street gang, especially Elmo.
Who can not love that red, adorable, sunshine of a puppet.
Come with me anyone? =]
