How to Stimulate Hunger for Muscle Growth

Put on pounds you've lost or desire to add to your frame through daily maintenance of your body and keeping yourself busy doing things you love. Living a more active lifestyle and being more social can go a long way in stimulating hunger. Purposely stimulate your hunger by exercising daily. Contrary to popular belief, exercise promotes hunger, and when done properly helps with weight gain.

Instructions

• 1

  Find or make friends who like to eat. Let them select the restaurant, and go out to eat a few times a week. Finicky eaters have a hard time by themselves, but in a social context will eat just due to influence. Notice how the smells and sounds influence your hunger reflex.

• 2

  Exercise moderately three times a week. Work around your personality type and what keeps you motivated. Plan on hiking, working out in the gym, swimming, taking a martial arts class, doing Pilates, or whatever strikes you as interesting and engaging.

• 3

  Include lifting weights up to three times a week to build muscle. Focus on volume, not repetition. Breaking down the muscle should stimulate your stomach to crave protein to build it back up.

• 4

  Take a yoga class to stimulate all your glands and organs and get your body into proper alignment. Look into a Bikram yoga class in your area, which is particularly good for body balance and, in turn, stimulating proper hunger.

• 5

  Keep protein snacks on you, and eat often. Eating smaller meals stimulates the stomach and gets it used to receiving food.
