It is often seen that many lean and thin people face the problem with their looks. so, here are the Ayurvedic tips taken from Charaka samhita to improve your looks by putting weight on healthily.
What happens if some one is very lean and maintains size zero for a long time?

How to put on weight quickly ?
Acharya Charaka (one of the ancient scholar of Ayurveda, who lived approximately five thousand years ago in India) says -
If one has lost weight very rapidly in recent times, then putting on weight can be achieved in a short period of time.
But if some one has lost weight over a long period of time, then, putting on weight will also take time.
So, in general, putting on weight should be ideally a gradual process.
- Diet to put on weight :
- Regular intake of meat soup, milk, ghee, curds and dairy products, sweets etc.
- Ayurvedic Home remedy to put on weight: A smash fruit mixture prepared with Dates, dry grapes, Indian gooseberry (Amla), pomegranate. A little sugar can be added to improve taste.
- This fruit salad kind of juice can be taken two times a day up to one month to achieve effective weight gain.
- Use Soy bean in diet. request your parents to include soy bean in food
- Take white part of egg white – three per day. Do not eat the inner yellow part. it is rich in cholesterol.
- Take meat soup – at least once or twice a weak.
- Exercise / jogging / sport – at least half an hour a day.
- Fruit / Fruit juice – minimum 4 times a week.
- Any non veg food of your choice at least twice a week.
- Fruit salad / Vegetable salad. once in two days.
Modern outlook to put on weight:

Drinking more water is not a reliable technique to gain weight.
Age is not a criterion to determine weight. Height is the criterion. Read here – http://www.rush.edu/rumc/page-1108048103230.html
Thank you Dr.
i have one doubt abt eggs. actually which part of the egg is protein rich, the white part or the yellow. can egg white increases phlegm in the body.
? eating icecreams have a chance to cause phlegm.??
pls do reply to me.
White part of egg is protein. It does not increase of kapha to a considerable extent. Yellow part contains cholesterol and it increases kapha.
Eating ice creams has a chance of increase of phlegm. Yes.
Thank you for this post, Dr. I have been reading a lot about this topic over the last two days and a few things still remain unclear. Some sites say eat more bananas and milk, others say supplement with ashwaghanda, but to not say how much and what drink to pair the supplement with. Also, how does one in the US know what brand of supplement to trust? There are too many choices.
I have been keeping track of my calories using livestrong.com and have regained 10lbs, but am struggling to pick up an additional ten. I’m 5’3″, 100lbs. I’m not looking for a quick fix, but would like to put it on by the end of the year. Do you think that ashwaghanda can truly help when mixed with weight training?
Ashwagandha helps in terms of improving muscle power, and body strength. It is a very good anti oxidant. It improves the strength of internal organs. Hence, it improves stamina and boosts your exercise power.
Banana etc are high in nutritive value and hence are good to put on weight. Hope it is clear.
i really need to be fat as fast as possible.. im now
looking skeletal-like man!!
Please see an Ayurvedic doctor for complete analysis and advice.
“If one has lost weight very rapidly in recent times, then putting on weight can be achieved in a short period of time.
But if some one has lost weight over a long period of time, then, putting on weight will also take time.”, WOW Words of wisdom indeed.
But I don’t agree with this ‘egg yolk not being healthy because of cholesterol’. I think it is one of the many modern medical myths. I think refined oil, refined sugar, sunflower oil do more damage to the body than egg yolk. Cold pressed Teel oil, mustard oil, groundnut oil, olive oil, Jaggery instead of sugar seems to be a better health choice .
Also various Indian pulses & Millets seems to be a better choice than Soybean.
*All these are not my personal opinions but health advices of people who have done study on these topics*
Also eating eggs with Table Salt maybe a reason why eggs have become bad for health. Eating eggs with raw salt maybe a better option. Raw Salt is much more healthy than table salt.
Regarding Soy, it is traditionally eaten in tofu or fermented form in china. So tofu maybe more healthy than eating boiled soybean.
is nutrigain help us to become fat ?
Yes, as per the claims of manufacturer.
Thirsting for more in this area…
