Introduction

Many people associate weight loss with the journey to their ideal body weight. However, gaining weight can be just as much of a challenge. This Reddit user, whose username has been deleted, has shared his journey of gaining weight on the internet.

Starting point

The Reddit user started his journey weighing in at 170lbs, measuring at 6 feet tall. Over the course of 2 years and 4 months, he gained 6lbs to reach a weight of 176lbs. While this may not seem like a significant change, it is often difficult for naturally thin individuals to gain weight.

Process

The Reddit user mentions that his weight gain was not a result of a strict diet or exercise regimen, but rather a gradual increase in his calorie intake. He admits to not counting calories or tracking macronutrients, but instead ate more than he typically would. He maintained a relatively active lifestyle, which in turn helped him gain muscle mass.

Struggles

In his post, the Reddit user shares that gaining weight was not an easy feat. He mentions struggling to eat more than he was used to, feeling bloated, and experiencing acid reflux. It is important to note that some individuals may experience similar symptoms when increasing their caloric intake.

Conclusion

While gaining weight may seem like an easy task, it can be just as challenging as losing weight. This Reddit user's journey serves as a reminder that everyone's weight journey is unique and may require different approaches. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before making any significant changes to your diet or exercise routine.
