I’ve been trying to lose weight for the past 7 months. I did lose about 20 pounds in the first four months just dieting. Right now I am still considered a few pounds overweight, so I do still have weight to lose. I stepped up my exercise regimen two months ago & I now run 20-30 miles a week. I eat around 1200-1500 calories a day, so I’m not starving myself but I’m not overeating either. And I eat mostly healthy things. I do have coffee daily & I drink alcohol on one weekend night per week. This week I ran 32 miles & maintained my diet, & I still gained 5 pounds. I’m not pre-menstrual. How is it possible that I gained weight? I can understand a plateau (which I’ve been on for the past two months, not gaining or losing) but I don’t understand how I can possibly be gaining weight. It’s VERY frustrating. Please help me understand this!

Hello, I am 20 yrs old I weight around 200lbs pounds, is very unhealthy, I am on the Depo-provera the shot so you won’t get pregnant, but the doctor told me that the shot is only for people who weight under 200 ibs, I need to lose the weight as soon as possible. Is the Hollywood miracle diet healthy? , are there any side effects? Plz help me I am very worry about my weight problem.

i LOVE spaghetti…and im also on a 5000 calorie diet cuz i need to gain weight(so this should be good)…i know they say eat whole wheat/grain items for good health instead of white breads/pastas/rice but still in moderation if u are dieting so if i ate LOTS of whole wheat pasta & merinara sauce, would that put some weight on me? would it be healthy? would it just give me a fat stomach(i already look pregnant) or spread evenly?
and why do people say carbs are so bad anyways if they give u energy & keep ur body from using protein(muscle)
so are lots of complex carbs(pasta) healthy for gaining weight?
is there also a way i can gain some weight temporarily?

During my teen years I was bulimic & I stopped recently & I want to start dieting the healthy way without gaining weight. I tried working out & eating super healthy but I am gaining weight. Please help.

I have been eating healthy & 5-6 small meals a day per my nutrionists instructions. I lost 10 lbs at the beginning of my pregnancy & now I have gained 2 back I’m 31 weeks tomorrow. My nutrionist & midwife have not been concerned but I ended up seeing the high risk OB today because I’m “measuring small” & all my babies have been small (5 lbs 2 oz, 6 lbs 4 oz, 7 lbs, & 5 lbs 14 oz) I have a history of miscarriage, low amniotic fluid, & IUGR. The OB really wants me to try to gain 8 pounds in the next few weeks. His suggestion was see my nutrionist & until then eat ice cream! I’m not trying to not gain weight but don’t like the idea of eating a ton of ice cream until I can get in with my nutrionist (in 2 weeks) any suggestions for high calorie good for you foods that I could add to my diet?
Thanks!
Mom to 4 expecting #5 in Oct

I’m looking to gain 5 pounds. I’ve done the ice cream diet before, but what are some healthy foods I can eat that are also high in calories?

I haven’t been on one & I don’t plan too (i can’t eat like that little or just one thing a day >.<), but people always say, "You'll just gain it back after". And I was just wondering even if you eat healthy, will you gain it back?
BTW, what is the exact definition of crash diet? I heard it was extreme calorie restriction but things like eating the same food each & everday also a crash diet. Is that true?

I’m a 15 year old male 5′7″ 128 lbs. i have an athletic type body but I want to gain muscel & look bigger. About how many calories should I have a day & what should I have a lot of (ex: protein, carbs, etc…) I do work out every 2 days or so. I can do about 5 reps of 80lbs. And 20-30 reps of 35 lbs. thank you

I’m taking paroxetine.. if i keep a healthy diet will i still gain weight? I want to lose 15 more lbs, but will it be impossible while taking these, or just harder? =(

I’m six foot two & I weigh 128 pounds. I always thought I ate a normal amount of food each day but I stay very thin. Whats a way I can gain weight without being unhealthy. I’m lactose intolerant so it really seems to limit my diet.

Please give me some ideas on what I should have in my diet. Right now I go to the gym at least three times a week. I do cardio everytime i workout & i’m wondering if thats hurting me from getting stronger & gaining weight. I work my upper body once a week & my lower body also once a week.

I have been gaining a lot of weight lately, & from a diet standpoint I need to know what I’m doing wrong. My personal trainer I had last year told me I needed to eat more frequently throughout the day, but eat smaller portions…and that I should concentrate on proteins & whole grain carbs. Here is what I typically do during the work week.
4 am (start of my work day) – 1 Special K Cereal bar & 1 Peanut Butter Granola Bar.
6 am – Banana
8 am – Snack on plain pork rinds (no carbs)
10 am – 1 string cheese
11 am – Peanut butter & jelly sanwhich on whole grain bread, 1 sugar free pudding, 1 non-fat yogurt, 1 string cheese.
Dinner can vary…sometimes it’s healthy like grilled chicken & peas, but tonight it was Wendy’s out of conveinence.
I was down to 218lbs only a few months ago, & now I’m pushing 240 & I keep going up….I no longer have a trainer, & I’m only working out about twice a week. Besides increasing the exercise…is there something wrong with my diet?

Any dietitians in the house? My little brother asked me to find him a diet plan that will help him to gain weight healthfully. If there are resources that could help please suggest them. Only serious responses please. Thanks!

can someone please help me construct a healthy diet? not like a lose weight diet, but one to get me to eat healthy food.
i eat way too much junk & im wayyyyy too skinny, so i want to be a healthy weight but i want to gain it the HEALTHY way. please help me?

I am fifteen & have been on a strict but healthy diet for the last six months or so. I reached a healthy weight that i was happy with & have managed to maintain it for a few months however, for the last few weeks i have recurrently been binge eating & i can’t seem to control myself- how can i get my health back on track before i gain back all the weight & my binge eating gets even more out of control?

I eat very little as it is & my diet is healthy, yet I still gain weight. It’s enough to cause depression in & of itself. Topamax helped for awhile, but now it’s to the point where the only dosage that will help will also make me so stupid (ie cognitive side effects) that I might as well not get out of bed in the morning.

my daughter needs to gain about 10-12 pounds. she is almost 17, is 5′3″ tall & weighs at most 103. she is very thin & she hates it. she did have a medical problem a few months ago, we have it under control now though. at the peak of her illness she dropped to 89 pounds. so some of the weight has come back, but she has reached a plateau. we have altered her diet, added ensure, more calories & she just cant gain. someone told me about a product called “muscle milk” i guess it helps put on pounds, but i want it to be healthy weight. is this a product anyone has heard of & is it safe?
any help you can offer would be great, the poor thing is moping around crying because she hates what she sees in the mirror. other than that she is model material, has been approached by a couple of agencies.
please help me. & please no ‘take her to mcdonalds’ replies, i want it to be healthy weight, not fatty heart clogging weight.

Some of you are going to be immature enough to make fun of me, but this is a very serious matter. I am wondering if anyone has had or know of anyone with this problem:
I have been gaining weight like crazy. When I first realized this, it was about a year ago…and I had gained about 5 lbs in a couple of weeks. That was shocking to me, but not too tramatic. I decided to excercise a little more, adding 15 more mins to my walking per day, & 15 mins to my cardio 3 times a week. Nothing…as a matter of fact, I gained more weight. My diet never changed for the worse. I did not eat anymore nor did I eat anything unhealthy. BUT, I decided to cut the carbs almost completely & increased cardio by 5 more mins 3 times per week, leaving my walking the same. Still I gained. I thought I was pregnant…(missed my cycle), & wasn’t. I have continued to gain. I have gained a LOT in the last yr, & 35 lbs since Sept in spite of a healthy diet & regular excercise. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? HELP!!
