Homemade healthy weight gain smoothie

Homemade healthy weight gain smoothie

This homemade healthy weight gain smoothie has been ready to share for a long time. I mentioned to you a long time ago that I was working on a weight gain smoothie for my husband to help him put on some weight, and it’s finally ready to share.

Me – I only need to look at a cake and I’ve gained 2 pounds, but my husband can eat junk food all night long and weigh less the next day.

The thing about food is, if you eat too much of it, you gain weight and if you don’t eat enough you lose weight. But sometimes it’s not as simple as that. It can be hard to stop overeating and balance your blood sugar levels and it can be equally as hard and frustrating to try and gain weight and not be able to.

With both losing weight and gaining weight there is often a small amount of discomfort. When you are losing weight you have to stop yourself giving in to your cravings and often feel like you could eat a lot more and your stomach can feel quite empty until you get used to eating less. The same is true when you are gaining weight. You have to force yourself beyond your comfort zone. If you feel like you’ve had enough, if you take one more bite and that stretches the stomach so your’e able to eat more next time.

To lose weight, substitute your meal for a meal replacement weight loss smoothie. When you are trying to gain weight you need to be drinking these smoothies in between your meals. So have your food as normal and drink one of these smoothies as a snack at least twice a day.

My husband did this for a week and put on 6 pounds. That was great progress for him as he really struggles to put on weight. Did it last? Unfortunately not because he forgets to eat and gets carried away working. Whatever you make a big enough priority in your life you can achieve. If you want something enough, write down your goals, and how you are going to achieve them and make sure you do something every day so you are working towards them. The re-assess your goals. Did they work? If not, tweak something and try again.

This smoothie will help you gain weight if you drink it in addition to your meals. It just happens to taste gorgeous too!
