Boost Your Appetite for Muscle Growth: Proven Strategies

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.
