I am 17 and a student who lives in india.my problem is that I don't gain weight.well that's not only my problem even my cousins have the same. I feel such an embarassement when I am with ma friends who are of my age I feel so tiny and I can't bare with those sympathetic comments that I hear everyday. When I was young it was okay for me being skinny but getting older and older and still looking the same depressed and of course other's comments about my skinny body nature adds to it. I eat and eat and eat but still I am skinny. Hope I will get some good suggestions from here

Appeton weight gain helps me a lot!
Body building increases your weight and appetite!

Are you a boy or a girl?

How was your father/mother's growth at your age? Did your father used to be skinny in his teen years and started to put on weight as he got older?

Have you seen a doctor? Had your weight, height, blood, urine tests? Could you have worms?

There are lots of 'off the shelf' weight gain supplements available, such as complan etc, have you tried them?

Go through the above check list and if that doesn't work, definitely try weight training and increase your carb intake.

Hope it helps.

If you're looking to put on weight, you need to keep in mind that you want to be consuming more calories than your body is burning per day. Even while being sedentary your body still burns calories, known as resting metabolic rate. Try a weight training routine. Start with lighter weights and higher reps and gradually increase to heavier weights and lower reps. The weight training will give you an appetite in which your body will use the food you eat to build lean muscle.
