Why am I slim?

Most probably your body type is Ectomorph; the Ectomorph body is genetically inherited body type which is known by having relatively less muscles than other body types.

How to gain weight?

The best way to change your body shape in case you are an Ectomorph is to work out. Over eating won't help you much. Don’t waste your time. Whatever the quantities you eat your weight will slightly increase because your metabolic rate is fast compared to other body types,and so all the food will get burned.

Gym and the Ectomorph

Of course you may have already tried the gym but got no significant results. That's because the Ectomorph body type needs a special type of training in order to have a faster effect. Follow those guidelines to properly deal with your body type:

• The First thing you should do if you are an Ectomorph is to be patient. Don’t compare your progress with another friend of a different body type because simply if your friend is a Mesomorph his/her muscles may grow four times faster than yours even with less effort. Be patient and know that we are not all the same. Each body have got its own way and speed of building up muscles
• Although eating alone won't help much. Eating much and training will give good results. If you started going to the gym, eat as much as you can. Your metabolic rate is already very fast because you are an Ectomorph, which means you burn food very fast. If you worked out without eating enough you will be burning your muscles
• Don’t exercise too much; maximum two hours at the same day and maximum three times a week. Doing something else may bring in reverse effect
• Use resistance training (lift heavy weights and make few repetition); heavy weights and fewer repetitions make muscles grow while light weights and lots of repetitions burns the fats
• Don’t make many exercises on the same day. You can focus on exercises which strains more than one muscle group together. For instance, the bench press strains triceps and part of the shoulders.
• Your metabolism is already very fast so avoid burning much more food. Don’t do unnecessary activities and eliminate all unnecessary movement. In my book The ultimate guide to weight loss i advised the readers to move around allot and to park their cars a bit further, so make sure you don't follow these weight loss tips
