Introduction

Reddit user cyanandwhitesky shares their six-month journey of weight gain progress. Despite struggling to gain much weight, they believe they are getting leaner.

Challenges and Strategies

To achieve weight gain goals, our Reddit user's meals are split into smaller portions throughout the day. Caloric intake is essential to weight gain, but consuming them in one meal causes nausea, a problem many people face. He also shared his battle with morning sickness that lasts throughout the day and interferes with his goals. Other users suggest the user could check-in with a doctor as morning sickness for extended periods could be a thyroid or liver problem.

Commitment and Progress

With commitment, cyanandwhitesky gained 3 pounds throughout six months. While it's a small number, it shows progress in the right direction. Gaining weight while maintaining a lean look can be a slow and daunting process, but it's achievable with determination.

Tips for Gaining Weight

Gaining weight can be a challenging and frustrating process, but the user's journey shows how small changes and dedication can lead to progress. Consistent exercise combined with a calorie-dense diet is crucial to gaining weight. Consuming healthy, high-calorie food like nuts, fatty fish, peanuts, and avocados can increase calorie intake without sacrificing overall health.

Conclusion

Gaining weight is achievable with determination and customized strategies that work for your body. Cyanandwhitesky's progress shows how making small changes to diet and exercise can lead to success, no matter how slow the journey. If you're trying to gain weight while keeping a healthy weight, it's essential to find what works best for you.
