I am totally ignoring most of the advice that I have read or heard about gaining weight and am now gaining quicker and easier.
I am doing lots of exercise, swimming each morning, doing a heavy gym workout most evenings and ride my bicycle each day.
I avoid most processed foods and refined sugar. I do not go to fast food restaurants.
I regularly enjoy munching on fresh crisp crunchy raw green vegetables as a snack, or have them with grilled fish, skinless chicken breast fillet, or kangaroo mince (a game meat which has almost no fat and is available in Australia for $7 per kilogram).
I also have other types of meals for variety and to include more fats or carbohydrates.
I am careful how I combine my foods as I dislike stomach pain, and want to get the most benefit from the foods that I eat. I don’t eat fruit with other foods. Often I start the day with a few pieces of sweet fresh ripe fruit and within an hour I feel hungry and eat something else. I avoid combining meat with starchy vegetables or grains. This is often a challenge as they are normally combined in traditional meals – meat and potato, fish and chips, hamburgers or meat sandwiches.
I feel fit and healthy yet my belly has grown. I have purchased some bigger shorts and trousers as my old ones don’t fit any more. I originally intended to only go to 95 kilograms however I am enjoying gaining weight that I may go beyond the 100 kilograms that I stopped at last time.
