Gaining weight

[Allyson Wood]

Gaining weight has been a problem for me nowadays, any recommendations on training software or diet apps that could help with my problem?

Hello,
I don't know of such apps because I don't use them, but I have some other suggestions if I may
First of all, have you thought about making a health check-up? If you've been gaining weight rapidly, it might be a result of an ailment, for example something wrong with how your thyroid's functioning.
Second of all, how about consulting a dietician? They will take into account more information than an app could, such as your average physical activity, job, health condition, food preferences and other needs.

If you still prefer to carry on with a home diet, I suggest cutting out artificial foods completely (sweets and salty snacks, as well as soft drinks). It may turn out that this alone will help you lose some weight or at least stop you from gaining it. If you want to go further - as little unhealthy fats and empty carbs as possible, as little coffee/alcohol as possible etc. (rules of an average more-or-less healthy diet). Drink lots of water. If you could add physical exercise, that would be fantastic.
I hope I helped a bit good luck with achieving your goal.
xoxo S

I would strongly suggest that you start tracking your food. You can either do this by getting a notebook and noting down all the food you're eating, along with their calories, or use an app such as MyFitnessPal which can help make things easier. The app allows you to scan barcodes of products. Then all you need to do is fill in a few numbers and dropdown arrows and you're done.

I also agree with Sue in regards to cutting out foods such as sweets etc. Fast food is another to consider, as many contain little nutritional value.

If you're intending to have something sweet, try and replace it with some fruit. It'll still contain sugar but it's naturally occurring and also contains valuable vitamins and minerals that your body needs to keep going.

I would definitely seek help from a dietician as they're able to help prescribe a meal plan or diet that's based around your height, age, current weight etc; or at the very least, provide you with some more nutritional guidance.

Thanks for the tips. I'm gonna try getting a dietician soon.

do not repeat my mistakes, do not become a vegetarian. In general, vegetarianism did not give me any bonuses other than being overweight (in the "best" times it was almost 70).

Protein powders and moderately hard exercise. This way, the weight you gain will be healthy and not just fat.
