I need to put on weight
Since moving to a new part of the country, birmingham :( , & taking on a very stressful job I have lost 2 stone in 24 months.
I was not exactly big before. I want to put on some weight, but just eating loads is not really an option. Do all those weight gain products you see in health food shops / sports shops actually work?
Appart from eating masses of crap has anyone got any ideas of how I can put weight on (without having a massive heart attack when I'm 40!) Thanks.

When he felt more comfortable about his weight and appearance, he began swimming which did wonders for his muscle tone. Unfortunately, the whole process took a few years, but he looks a lot better and his confidence has soared.
While it's all well and good to treat the symptoms - how about treating the cause?
If your job is too stressing, then maybe that's where you need to concentrate your efforts - either by counselling or getting a new job altogether..... although I know that sometimes it's just not that simple!
Apart from that weight training is a better option as other replies have mentioned!
Good Luck - I hope that it goes well for you... :-)
