Here’s How You Can Add Weight Without Being Unhealthy

As a skinny person, I constantly toy with the idea of putting on a few pounds, but the idea of having to consume a lot of unhealthy food just to get my ass to look better in my jeans is always a huge turnoff.

But apparently, there are healthy ways of going about the whole adding weight business and Ayo Elizabeth Olaogun is sharing them in her latest vlog.

In her words: “Adding weight is not often discussed because the number of people struggling to lose weight is often greater than the number of people trying to add weight in most African cities. Besides, there are more health complications associated with being overweight than there are with being on underweight or hanging around the borderline of ideal weight / underweight. Nonetheless, there is a significant number of Africans, who may not necessarily be predisposed genetically to high metabolic rates but yet struggle to add or maintain gained weight. A common major trait among people who go to work and aren’t adding weight, though they can and would love to gain some four to five kilograms, is the reluctancy to take a break from work, which then leads to long extended hours of hunger.”

Watch the video below for tips on gaining weight the healthy way.
