!±8± How to Gain Weight With A Very Fast Metabolism

For those who are trying to gain weight with a very fast metabolism it can feel very frustrating to feel like no matter how much you eat you still can't gain a single pound. While those who are trying to lose weight would love to be in your position, the reality is that it is equally annoying to feel like you would look better with a few extra pounds of muscle as it is for an overweight person who would like to lose a few pounds of fat. The secret to gaining weight with a very fast metabolism is rather simple. Below I'll reveal to you how to gain weight with a very fast metabolism.

Write Up A Weight Gain Plan

Writing up a weight gain plan is crucial to gaining weight since a plan guides you every step of the way to gain weight. A plan has the power to motivate you in times of hardships such as complacency, laziness, self-doubt and lack of enthusiasm.

Your weight gain plan should outline how much weight you would like to gain, a deadline to gain that weight, what foods to consume as well as how many meals you'll consume per day, what exercises to use and how many days you'll exercise. By writing up your own weight gain plan you'll be a lot more focused on your goal of gaining weight.

Consume Smaller Meals Frequently

The trick to eating more food is to consume smaller meals frequently throughout the day rather than your typical 3 meals per day approach. By consuming smaller meals frequently throughout the day you'll eliminate force feeding yourself, uncomfortable bloating, nauseousness and blood sugar spikes. Focus on consuming high protein, high calorie foods to build muscle.

Use Compound Resistance Exercises

To gain weight you must build muscle by using compound resistance exercises. Compound resistance exercises are exercises which recruit multiple muscle groups. This in turn stimulates a flood of muscle building hormones such as IGF-1, HGH and Testosterone. The best exercises for building muscles include push ups, pull ups, chin ups, parallel bar dips, pistol squats, deadlifts, bench press and barbell squats.

Use Supplements Wisely

For those of you who are using supplements to aid their weight gain make sure to use them according to the instructions on the bottle. Many assume that using a greater dosage equals greater gains however this is a myth as the body can only extract a certain amount of nutrients before eliminating the rest.

One must also remember that supplements are there to supplement instead of replacing your intake of food. Supplements you'll benefit the most from include whey protein, creatine monohydrate and multivitamins. The further along you progress with gaining weight the more you can experiment with other supplements.

Go to Bed Early

This is often the most overlooked aspect of gaining weight as it doesn't involve any effort. The truth is you actually build muscle outside of the gym especially while you're asleep. When your body is at rest it has the best opportunity to repair your muscle tissue thereby making them larger in the process.

While there's still debate as to how much sleep you should be getting I personally feel that around 6 - 8 hours of sleep is adequate. Interestingly the hours you sleep before midnight are higher in quality than the hours after midnight thereby the old adage of "early to bed, early to rise" still holds true.
