How to gain weight

MmmMmmGood

Hello all. I’ve been vegan for the past year and am now trying to switch over to being “raw” but I also want to gain about 5-10 lbs. Is it possible? If so, what do you recommend I eat on a day-to-day basis in order to put on the pounds without doing it in an unhealthy way. (i.e. eating a lot of coconut. it’s really high in saturated fat)

The way that always seemed to work for me was to do 30-60 minutes of resistance training with weights and/or intensive calisthenics like these: http://www.sandowplus.co.uk/Competition/Burns/l… followed by a high-protein, low-”white carb” meal 45-60 minutes later.

That was in my extreme meat-eating days, though. On a vegan raw diet, I imagine foods like nuts and leafy greens are going to be more likely candidates for consumption. I’m new to this myself and am currently just trying to get my consumption under control so I haven’t tried “performance-oriented” eating yet.

If you’re concerned about “bulking up” too much, you might choose the calisthenics instead of the weights.
