Being a healthy weight is just as medically important as not being over or underweight. Living a nutritious life can help with

• Mood

• Blood Sugar Stabilization

• Energy levels

• and more!

Everyone should try to eat a balanced diet so as to include as many nutrients as possible while blood sugar stabilization is essential for energy levels and pancreas health and eating nutrient-packed real food rather than processed shakes, powders or fast food ensures healthy weight gain over fat-based weight gain.

Nutritious Food

Food is essential to the overall health of your body and mind so consuming as varied a diet as possible is your priority mission when looking to maintain weight the proper way. A good method that some nutritionists use is to create fresh weight gain shakes rather than buying harmful pre-prepared or powder proteins that might do more harm than good.

A balanced diet of vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, fiber, fats, and water will ensure healthy weight gain over unhealthy weight gain and to do this you should include as much variety as possible.

Blood Sugar Stabilization

Eat based on how foods make your body feel, keeping in mind that certain foods can spike and dip blood sugar levels because of poor stabilization. This has the effect of making you feel tired, lethargic, depressed, and hungry, causing you to eat more harmful foods than you should and intake more sugar than necessary, and the cycle continues.

In the long term, this can also damage the pancreas and cause type 2 diabetes, for which you could end up on medication for the rest of your life with serious conditions such as organ damage, increased risk of stroke, and damaged nerves. In order to stabilize your blood sugar, you should balance your carb and sugar intake, drink more water, and exercise.

Real Food

It might not be obvious to some, but when you are looking to gain weight properly, you shouldn’t just eat high fat or high carb foods such as pre-prepared meals. These are full of trans fats and harmful sugars that will definitely increase unhealthy fat in your body.

The best way to increase and maintain a healthy lifestyle is to eat real food that has been prepared properly. An excellent and easy tip is simply to learn to cook for yourself. When you do this, you can control exactly what goes into your body. By learning easy and nutritious recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you can confidently and slowly gain a healthy weight.
