For people who are naturally underweight, putting on merely just a few pounds can be a tremendous task. If you are one of them, you will be wondering what to eat or do to increase your weight.

You must have realized by now that there are no magic pills or supplements for you to put on weight quickly. After all, you would have had experimented with those so called weight gain supplements now and then haven't you?

Increasing your weight does not happen overnight and it will require a very firm and dogged commitment from you. However, if you are determined enough to work on it, you will surely be able to put on some handsome muscular weight in due course.

Your focus should be on increasing your muscle weight and not about gaining body fat no matter how desperate you are about putting on a few pounds. This is because as we all know, too much body fat is unhealthy and besides, as you get older, your metabolism will slow down and you may even become obese at a later stage in your life.

So if you are truly serious about increasing your body mass weight, then you must be on a diet rich in healthy calories and protein. Eat these foods regularly and augment it by a regular weight training program to put on muscle mass size. If you don't know how to train with weights to increase your body mass, then hiring a good personal trainer may be a good idea.

When you are training with weight bearing exercises, then you will also need to consume nutritional supplements to feed your muscles in order for them to grow faster and bigger. Protein supplement is a must have in this case.

Basically, you will need to supplement your diet with whey and casein protein. Whey protein is quickly absorbed into your bloodstream and thus is ideal to take them first thing in the morning when you get out of bed, before and just after your weight training and gym workout.

Casein protein is a slow release protein and is released into your bloodstream more slowly and thus is ideal to take it before bed so that it can feed your body throughout the night when you are sleeping.

Remember, they are only supplements and therefore you still must eat good balanced meals rich in all sorts of nutrients, especially protein and good carbohydrates preferably 5 to 6 meals a day.

If you are above 30 years old, you may want to supplement with testosterone enhancers. This is because as we get older, our body's natural production of the muscle building hormone testosterone gets lesser and lesser. This will thus affect your muscle growth.

Please note that I am not asking you to go for hormonal therapy unless you have a medical problem in this area. I am also not suggesting you jab yourself with artificial hormones such as steroids.

There are many natural herbal testosterone releaser supplements which you can purchase from most pharmacies and drugstores without prescription because they are safe. These are not drugs or medicines, but are made from natural herbs to help your body to produce more of your own natural testosterone to adequately help you to gain muscle weight.

If you follow this guide and eat the right food, supplement your diet and workout with weights, will surely pack on pounds of muscles month after month and soon, you will be underweight no more because you will become a handsome beach hunk.
