How to gain weight without fear of getting diabetes?
Posted on | January 25, 2010 |
I am underweight and wish to gain adequate mass. But the most common suggestion is to increase calorie intake. Question is how increased calories cannot cause diabetes or does it? We all know that taking more calories than what is needed by the body can cause diabetes in the long run. Please let me know how I can gain weight without the risk of progressing to diabetes.

Diabetes, Will only occur if the body consumes far too much carbohydrates and high sugar foods, that the Insulin becomes immune to the glucose or sugar meaning it wont work and convert the glucose into energy this happens when for long periods of time high sugar foods are consumed and not a short term issue.
I suspect it is the Media that has raised this concern with you, if you are "underweight" im sure this will not be a concern to you as long as you plan to put on weight with a varied yet healthy diet and do not binge out on individual food groups.
Also check with a doctor or GP for the best way to put on weight.
Good Luck

You can only get diabetes if your eating foods that greatly affect your insulin levels.
If you eat high protein, high fat, low carbs and no refined sugars then you won’t have any problem.

Exercise regularly for healthy weight gain. Some thin people think that exercise is not good for them. This is not true, it keeps the metabolism high. Remember that eating alone is not sufficient. You don’t want to gain fat but lean mass, so exercise is important.
Resistance training exercises will help to increase your muscle mass, which in turn will increase your metabolism. Learn to distinguish between weight gaining exercises and weight loss exercises.
Note that if you do not get enough amino acids during exercise, the existing muscle may break down. Amino acids come from protein rich foods.
