edited November 2024 in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
I want to gain healthy weight, but I want to gain weight in my butt, thighs, breasts, & hips. I want to look more feminine & curvy & I just don't feel beautiful anymore. Have you done or tried anything that helped you to gain in these areas? I don't want to gain a bunch of belly fat

    You can't dictate where you gain (or lose) weight from. Genetics does that.

    The best you can do for your goal is to lift heavy using a program like StrongCurves and eat in a slight deficit, maybe 100-250 calories over maintenance.

    Gaining fat in those areas will be due to genetics, unfortunately you can't pick and choose where it goes.

    If you want to look more curvy, adding mass/muscle to the glutes, thighs, back (lats in particular) can help give you more of an hourglass shape (however, again, genetics will dictate how much you can do)

    My advice:

    -Eat in a calorie surplus (250 cals over maintenance per day to gain 0.5lb per week) Any more than this and you will be more likely to gain fat
    -Follow a progressive lifting program (I would recommend Strong Curves, fantastic program with focus on glutes in particular but will help build your body overall)
    -Have patience.
