Weight Gain Starting out today on a weight gain diet Aug 08 2008
22:28 (UTC)

Hi,

I usually drive to work which is 20 miles away and the work involves sitting on a desk.

I did not always weight less and wanted to change the decline and hence have turned to a diet but my problem is that i have never been on a diet before in life so i am hearing a lot of new terms like " weight increase due to water retention" , burn rate... and i do not understand them. I do try to google them and that is helping too.

I certainly do not want to be a couch potato and put on wait and there by open the door to some other problems.

I set a target of 20 lbs in 2 months as a number to go for but honestly i would not go for it if it is unhealthy.

So please let me know what should be a good enough target.

I have also been advised to get into lifting weight and would start doing it too.

I know this mail may sound as a totally confused person but that is how i feel. I dunno why on earth did i let it dip down to this but i just want to change it and i want to do it right too.

Please advise.

Thanks for all the help and advice

Hi,

I am 5' 8" male and honestly i do not have a clue of how many calories would i have previously. Most of the days it would be a cup of milk (2%) and then a late dinner which would be some chicken and rice. i guess i want to see some changes in atleast 2 months. i am not sure if i would be able to get to my target weight in that much time.

I am also trying to look for things to eat which would be higher in calories.

thanks for the prompt reply
