Weekly Tips by Zonya, America’s Nutrition Leader

Need to gain weight? Do it the healthy way.

Yes . . . believe it or not, some people have just as big of a challenge in keeping weight on or gaining weight as the rest of us have in trying take it off and keep it off. There are a variety of healthy ways to gain weight; however, I have two tactics that I continually suggest when asked this question, and it works EVERY TIME.

1. Drink 100% juice all throughout the day, and


2. Snack on nuts (all kinds) all throughout the day.

Do both of these in addition to the healthy meals and snacks you’re already eating and I guarantee that you will gain weight every time.

Conversely, for the rest of us who DON’T want to gain weight, we need to go easy on the nuts (I only allow myself one handful a day) and drink just 4 ounces of juice each day. In fact, I enjoy my juice 2 ounces at a time, diluted in lots of ice and water for two great tasting “fruit water” drinks throughout the day.
