How to Gain Weight for Perfect Curves

Many women worry about losing weight, but being underweight can also be a concern for those who think they need to fill out their curves. There are exercise and nutrition steps you can take to naturally bulk up and add inches around your hips and bust to give you that hourglass figure many women want. Focusing on weight training to sculpt your muscle and not become overweight while eating protein-heavy and good-fat foods will set you on the right track.

Instructions

• 1

  Eat a diet that is full of protein, which encourages muscle mass to grow and will create lean bulk that is attractive and firm. Proteins like chicken, eggs and lean steak will stick to your bones but remain part of a nutritious diet.

• 2

  Add good fats to your diet to increase your calorie intake without adding dangerous bad calories that contain high levels of cholesterol and trans fat. Good fats include cheese, olive oil, nuts, peanut butter and avocados.

• 3

  Build your exercise routine around weight training, which increases muscle mass and can add inches to your frame. Activities such as cardio and aerobics are more inclined to decrease your weight, but curl lifts, push-ups and weight presses can help you gain weight quicker.

• 4

  Take a protein booster or muscle milk drink after a workout to make sure the enzymes promote muscle-building during your cooling-off period of exercise, when protein growth potential is at its highest.
