Date: May 29, 2008 03:02PM I would like to gain five-ten pounds and am 100% raw. I last week I did a four day fast which made me lose five pounds. I feel great from it but am now under-weight. Before I was at the low end, but still in the healthy range. How can I gain it back? I am naturally pre-disposed to be very thin and already eat plenty of oils, avocados, nuts... Any suggestions?

Date: May 29, 2008 04:34PM Physical exercise or work will help build muscles as well as plenty of sleep. The kind of exercises that build muscles are anaerobic exercises, applying loads to your muscles that exceed their current capacities. Re: Gain Weight on Raw Food...

Date: May 29, 2008 06:03PM I agree with Bryan and the other great posts. Eat larger, less frequent meals. Get in plenty of sprouts or dark greens to get added proteins. Walk regularly and lift weights to pack on muscle (just wanted to second those suggestions).

Date: May 30, 2008 05:24AM Weight lifting to gain weight is prone to injuries and you also need a gymn. It works but it is not the best approach. You need to be your own gymn and there are two books and a website that can assist you in achieving that goal.

Date: May 30, 2008 01:27PM If your naturaly thin then I'm not sure how effective using fitness to "gain weight" would be, if exercise alone put weight on, I'd be obese by now......sure you could eat hard to digest foods all day long and yeah you'll put on on (fat/water) weight because of stressing out your digestive system but then your no better off than you were when you were on cooked foods, I think it all depends on how long you've been 100% raw for, you may still be cleansing/rebuilding because I put on 20lbs when I finished transitioning but it all took time!

Date: May 30, 2008 02:08PM I am naturally thin. I have never looked skinny because I was always super athletic. I was doing weight training at home just using eight pound dumb bells. I need to get back in the routine of it. The results were great. Muscle weight is the type of weight that is best to put on. Re: Gain Weight on Raw Food...
