The problem here is you are going to have to eat A LOT of food, maybe 4-6 times as much as you normally would get results like that in such a short amount of time.
Here are some tips on how to increase weight without exercise
👨⚕️Consult a doctor
Health experts suggest that a healthy diet is a key to helping people avoid weight gain, as over-consuming calories from foods like fat and sugar can lead to excess pounds.
In some cases, other conditions may cause rapid or significant weight gain, in which case it’s important to consult a doctor. I
f you aren’t able to lose weight by eating less and exercising more, your doctor might recommend prescription medications or refer you to a specialist who can determine if another health issue is at play.
🖲️Track your calories
In order to lose weight, you need to be in a caloric deficit. And, in order to know whether or not you’re in that caloric deficit, it’s important that you track your calories for at least a week.
With MyFitnessPal or another calorie-tracking app, you can easily enter everything you eat no food is off-limits which will give you an accurate picture of what your intake looks like on a daily basis.
🟢 Replace unhealthy snacks with healthy ones
Too often, people try to lose weight by crash dieting or eliminating foods they love.
For example, when you don’t have time to cook a healthy meal, it can be tempting to just grab a candy bar on your way out of work.
If you have healthier options available (like fruit or granola bars), choose those instead.
This will also help curb cravings and keep you from feeling deprived while you're on your new eating plan.
🫒 Boost your calorie intake
It’s a no-brainer that adding calories to your diet increases your weight. You can do so by eating more of your existing favorite foods or trying out new recipes.
It’s important to note, however, that if you eat too much in an attempt to pack on pounds, you could end up storing those extra calories as fat, not muscle.
🥛 Drink lots of water
Drinking lots of water won’t just hydrate you, it will also help flush out any unwanted toxins in your body.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure especially when you’re trying to gain muscle.
This can be as simple as carrying around a refillable bottle and refilling it every time you get a chance. And always carry water with you for long days or on-the-go eating.
❇️ Try resistance training
If you want to get heavier, but don’t want to hit a barbell or treadmill resistance training may be for you.
Resistance training helps build muscle mass, and more lean muscle tissue is good news for your metabolism.
The more lean muscle you have, the more calories you burn even when at rest.
Resistance training also helps boost bone health, which is especially important as we age.
