If you show a person who has been skinny their entire life at weight gain trick that is going to actually help them put on a few pounds, you will have yourself a friend for life! People who have gone through life being called names because of how skinny they are, would love nothing more than to put on about 20 pounds of muscle. You would be surprised at just how much verbal abuse a person that is really thin takes throughout the course of a day. The sad part it is, there is something that they could do about it, but most never understand what it is.

If you think this that the abuse skinny people take is "overrated", just ask someone who has been told not to take their shirt off because the bird might get away. Sounds funny when you read it, but imagine being told that in front of a group of girls when you're at the beach. Not so funny to that person is it. These are the things skinny people deal with all the time.

One of the common misconceptions is that in order to gain any weight you need to eat more than you are now. If it were only that simple, thousands of people with high metabolisms around the world would be yelling at the top of their lungs with excitement. Truth is it's not that easy at all. Yes, eating the correct foods will help you pack on pounds, but just eating more is not going to get you anywhere.

Another misconception is the fact that you can follow any workout routine you want and that will help you gain the weight you are looking for. Wrong! If you are someone who has a problem gaining weight, the thought of following a routine by some muscle head looks like the right thing to do. After all, look how big they are right? The problem with that is they have never been skinny like you and don't know what exercises you need to be doing to achieve the goals you want.

These are two of the main issues when people who are skinny begin to try and gain weight. The most important one, and the one overlooked the most is following a program that is designed for hard gainers. Following a program that was created by someone who was actually once skinny like you is your best chance for success.

Here's the thing, you don't have to continue to be skinny! You can end the name calling and build confidence in the way you look just by doing what someone in your shoes has already done.
