Why It’s So Hard to Gain Weight, Explained
Unpumped healthy weight gain is not simply about the number you see on the scale but rather adding lean muscle mass and enhanced life force. Just eating more food, without trying to understand why one is underweight in the first place, is often unsuccessful. The more problematic barriers are often biological:- Lowered Appetite: If you are suffering from stress, tension or undergoing any specific illness then your appetite for food can be significantly reduced and thus the body isn’t likely to get its requirement of calories hungry to grow.
- Poor Nutrient Assimilation: You may even eat all the right foods but if they are not being digested properly and you an unable to assimilate their nutrients into your body, it won’t matter. This is a widely recognized but commonly ignored impediment.
- High Basal Metabolism: If you have a very high basal metabolic rate, this just means you need to fine-tune your diet so that you are consuming the surplus needed for muscle growth.
