Try These Things
You need to go to a store and get a weight gainer. Lots of protein and creatine really helps you gain weight. My husband takes creatine and I have noticed a difference. If you do not work out on creatine you will add pounds on. For example, if people can lose weight by reducing their calories or carbs, try doubling or tripling them for a weight gain. Eat lots of starches (rice, bread, pastas, etc.) remember always keep what you eat in control, you do not want weight gain to be a bad thing. Hope this could help, good luck.

Sadly i'm in the same situation. I'm 19, 5'1 and 97 pounds and it's so difficult for me to gain rather than to lose. People think i'm anorexic or bulimic :cry: . I've tried doubling the amount of calories I take in by eating fast food 3x a day, because eating normal food 3x a day does nothing. I don't know if it's my metabolism or what, but I feel the same way about how I look. I just feel so disgusting about how skinny I am, and as of yet i've found nothing that helps. I plan to try creatine to see if it helps, because that's about the only other thing I haven't tried. If anyone has any thoughts on how to help, it'd be great to find out.

eh, the creatine didn't work for me. Finally I gave up and started looking at the calories I take in everyday, which is now about 2,500. I eat nothing but fast food for a diet because honestly normal food just doesn't work as well, and though it may be bad on my health i've gained 4 pounds so far.

I realize that this started out to be a old post but go to a herb or nutrition shop and ask about the weight on shake and check with the dr as fast food is not always the best way in the world.
Good luck!
