Question:
How to gain weight without having to eat more?
I work in the internet security field and I have a problem that I

hunger and also learned to ignore the stomache growling.
I eat breakfast sometimes and dinner nothing in between my weight
never went over 145 Lbs I am 6"1 I work out every chance I get I
have a well toned body but I got nothing but bone and muscle I
personally dont mind it but my family my girlfriend does I've been
made fun of for being skinny all my life My metabolism is extremely
powerfull I can seriously manage to wipe out 2000 calories in a few
hours... I'm looking for way's to gain weight quick please include all
methods legal or not ethical or not and please include side effects I
also want info about HGH and what dosage and what I need to start.
Answer:
Let me begin by reassuring you that you are not so thin that your health
is at risk. Based on the figures you provided, I calculate that your
Body Mass Index (BMI) is 19.1, or just this side of underweight. If your
BMI were 18.5 or less, you would be considered underweight and medical
intervention might be warranted. As it is, however, you are merely on
the thin side but not hazardously so, since you still fall inside the
range considered to be normal. The following webpage has a BMI chart
that lets you determine this for yourself.

You say that you are interested in learning in all possible methods of
weight gain. I'm afraid there are few pharmaceutical remedies, since
much more research is directed at speeding up the metabolism than at
slowing it down. There are a number of drugs, some very effective but
also very dangerous to the heart and nervous system, that speed up the
metabolism so that it burns calories faster. I know of none that are
expressly designed to slow it down.
I will discuss human growth hormone at the end of my answer, but let me
point out for the time being that the most common method of achieving
weight gain is to raise the calorie count in one's diet. This doesn't
necessarily mean eating more, mind you. It means that whenever you do have
a meal, you should select foods that are high in fat and protein. You
should emphasize meat, butter, potatoes, vegetable oil, sauces, nuts,
and dairy products in your diet, without cutting out fresh fruit and
vegetables.
But the very best advice on gaining weight belongs to a former era,
when social prejudice favored the ample girth as a sign of privilege. In
centuries past, when living standards were lower in every stratum of
society, poverty meant insufficient food intake and therefore a trim
waistline. Only the wealthy could afford to be plump. Today, it is the
lowest classes who consume the fattiest foods and therefore weigh the
most, while the rich and educated are concerned with keeping off weight
at all costs. So the greatest experts on weight gain belong to the past.
It so happens that I have on my shelf a slim volume dating to 1935,
the height of the Depression, authored by a famous fitness guru of
the day named Artie McGovern. McGovern had among his clients numerous
celebrities and sports figures such as Jack Dempsey and Babe Ruth,
none of them especially thin but all of them strong and healthy. The
title of this book is The Secret of Keeping Fit. Much of it is devoted
to calisthenics and muscular strengthening. Then there is one chapter,
occupying ten of the 200 pages in this book, entitled "Building Up the
Body". Since that is exactly where your interest lies, and since the
copyright on The Secret of Keeping Fit elapsed in 1963, I shall reproduce
this chapter here in its entirety. I think you will agree that it offers
brisk and appealing advice on the problem of gaining weight.
