Introduction

For some people, losing weight may be the ultimate goal, but for others, gaining weight can be just as challenging. One Reddit user, who goes by the name [deleted], documented their journey of gaining 16 pounds in as little as two months through good nutrition and exercise.

The Journey to Gaining 16 Pounds

At the start of the journey, [deleted] weighed just 122 pounds, and after two months of hard work and dedication, they saw their weight jump up to 138 pounds – a gain of 16 pounds. This weight gain was achieved by consuming more calories than they burned every day, lifting weights, and sticking to a high-protein diet.

The Importance of Diet

One of the keys to [deleted]'s success was their diet. They made sure to consume more calories than their body burned by eating nutrient-dense foods such as chicken, rice, vegetables, and fruits. They also drank plenty of water and avoided processed foods and sugary drinks. Additionally, they focused on consuming enough protein to help build muscle mass.

The Importance of Exercise

Along with focusing on their diet, [deleted] also started lifting weights and working out regularly. They found that this helped to build muscle mass and keep their body fat percentage in check. The user focused on compound exercises like squats and deadlifts, which work multiple muscle groups at once, and gradually increased their weights as they got stronger.

Conclusion

Gaining weight can be a challenging journey, but with the right mindset, dedication, and knowledge, it is achievable. [Deleted]'s journey shows that with the right combination of diet and exercise, anyone can transform their body and reach their goals. If you're looking to gain weight, why not try some of the methods that worked for [deleted] and see what works for you?
