No, stuffing my face with junk food is not the answer. 😄
How do I know if I’m too thin?
There’s a way to assess my thickness: the Body Mass Index. However, it’s hard to get your bearings because everyone has different criteria.
Personally, I prefer to use Devine formula.
If I’m under the calculated ideal body weight : yes, I am underweight.
Causes of skinniness
Generally, there is a combination of the following causes:
- Under-nutrition.
- Emotional causes.
- Muscular weakness.
- Digestive disorders.
- Illness.
- Heredity.
- Certain medications.
Why regain weight?
A body that’s too thin is a sign of dysfunction.
To regain weight, it’s not advisable to continue eating when my body is no longer hungry. It’s better to resolve the causes of my lack of appetite.
The same applies if I eat a lot and don’t gain weight: my body is dysfunctional, and I can restore harmony.
The aim is not to have a belly, but a well-proportioned body.
Natural remedies
How can I gain weight?
Emotions
If I eat my fill, then I can turn to emotional causes.
My body is trying to send me a message through thinness: I have traumas that are disrupting my metabolism.
Over 90% of physical symptoms are due to emotional wounds.
I’m discovering how to deal with my emotions.
When I explored the causes of my skinniness, I discovered a memory on my father’s side: a fear of being thin going back 4 generations. And it’s true that several members of my father’s family are slim. I accepted the emotion, and was able to start putting weight back on.
Foods
Once the emotional causes have been resolved, if I want to put on weight I need a :
- Healthy.
- Balanced.
- Natural.
My body knows exactly what foods it needs, and I can use my intuition to find out which ones.
Certain foods promote healthy weight gain:
- Eggs.
- Olive and sunflower oils.
- Coconut.
- Fenugreek.
- Nuts.
- Green banana flour.
- Starches.
- Wholegrain cereals.
- Noni.
- Collagen.
- Omega-3.
- Whey protein.
Une fois les causes émotionnelles solutionnées, si je veux grossir j’ai besoin d’une alimentation :
- Saine.
- Équilibrée.
- Naturelle.
Digestion
Difficult digestion can be the cause of thinness.
If my digestive system does not absorb nutrients properly, then there are probably other emotional causes.
I can start a colon detox to regain efficient digestion.
Sport
Human beings are designed for regular physical activity.
A thin body is not optimized to cope with life’s difficulties.
Strength training can help me get back into shape, because my health depends on my physical strength.
Conclusion

If it does not, there are still emotional wounds.
