Trying To Gain Weight But Burning Too Many Calories

Q: I would like help me with my case which seems to be a little weird.Before i had some fat which i got rid of.Was about 12 kgs.After 3 months gym and diet i lost them.Iam thin now but recently i found that whatever i do i continue lose more kgs...I eat 5 meals and i go to gym.I have a good nutrition but even if i go to gym or not,even if i move a lot or not i lose kgs as time passes.How could this be explained?Is it possible my metabolism became so good that burns so much even if iam just sitting?I dont have muscles iam just thin and i eat all the proper foods sleep well and drink lots of water.Any help?

A: You should pat yourself on the back :) Your workout routine and your diet are working so well that your metabolism is through the roof now, as you guessed. It's also possible that the meals you eat are too small and have too few calories in them. In either case the solution is quite simple: eat more! Make the portion sizes bigger and add more good carbs like oatmeal, brown rice, sweet potatoes, fruits and berries, some whole-grain bread. I guarantee you that if you eat enough the weight loss will stop.

In fact, if you're interested in not only stopping the weightloss but would actually like to reverse it and build some muscle, then you should just keep upping the portion sizes and adding good carb-rich foods until you're steadily gaining about 1 kilo per month. That will give you a very good muscle-building diet. If you start gaining faster than 2 kilos/month you should scale the portion sizes back down since such fast weight gain will result in a lot of unwanted new fat.
