Hello dear Please be aware Yes you can go for gym and take weight gaining excercise However i suggest you to please rely upon natural diet like nuts,grams fried,cheese and butter Avoid sugar intake and take plenty of water Hope improvement occurs in 3-4 months You can also consult dietician for confirmation Regards
Yes you should join to gain weight and gym will help with muscle weight instead of fat
Supplements after food is well managed:
Whey protein (1 scoop post-workout) – safe and effective
Creatine monohydrate (3–5g/day) – increases muscle gain
Multivitamin – to support metabolism
Ashwagandha (1 tsp/day) – improves strength, appetite, testosterone
Avoid spicy or fried foods Normal 4-5 kg gain can be achieved in 3 months
Yes, gym workouts focusing on strength training can help you gain healthy weight by building muscle mass. Pair this with a high-calorie, protein-rich diet including nuts, dairy, eggs, and lean meats for better results. Consult a fitness trainer and a nutritionist to create a tailored workout and diet plan.
Meal Frequency: 5–6 meals/day (every 2.5–3 hrs) Key Nutrients: Protein + Carbs + Healthy Fats + Strength Training
Eat calorie-dense foods: peanut butter, whole milk, eggs, paneer Strength train regularly Track your weight every 2 weeks Avoid junk food-only approach — leads to belly fat Don’t skip meals or sleep
