What is a healthy way to gain weight?

What is the best way to become a vegetarian and also gain 15 pounds of healthy weight in about 3-4 months at the same time?

• I want to be healthier and also look healthier. I'm currently 5'6 and 95 lbs. I don't have a lot of muscle and my diet includes mostly sugar and carbs. What is the best way to improve all these things while also becoming vegetarian, and gaining some healthy weight within a reasonable timeframe?

• Answer:

  How old are you? I think it's great that you are looking to remove the sugar and carbohydrates from your diet. Eating a clean diet and removing processed foods will certainly help you with your first goal of being healthier. Eating as a vegetarian has many options for you to ingest healthy micro and macro nutrients, vegetables, brown rice, beans and legumes, flax seed oil are all healthy natural foods. If you are looking to gain muscle, consuming more calories and adding resistance training 3-5 times per week will assist you in building muscle. This sounds like it will be a big change for you so try to focus more on sticking to it for a year. Quick changes with timeframes of 3-4 months typically end in failure. Keep going and realize you will have ups and downs but in the end, you will be much happier once it becomes a habit and second nature.
