edited February 2016 in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
I have been on and off ultram (tramadol) for years now mainly because of my backpain. The thing is, I hate the drug and I wish to stop taking it altogether. But over the years, I have noticed that I lost a lot of weight. I have been eating 3-4 meals per day and I can't help but think my weight loss is due to the painkillers. How can I change my lifestyle to gain weight? I want to gain at least 1lbs per week! Thanks :)

    Adding in calorie dense foods to supliment your caloric intake will help with weight gain as will having snacks. Take a look here (under then calorie rich foods recommended for weight gain, select meal portions for eating more calories areas ) and see if you can incorporate anything anywhere good luck :smile: . https://www.healthaliciousness.com/articles/highest-calorie-foods.php#weightgain

    Eating foods with high caloric density is your best bet, as well as sweet treats if you want;

    Peanut butter, avocado, ice cream, steak etc.

    I thought that painkillers slowed down your metabolism, and would potentially make you gain rather than lose weight? I don't know much about tramadol though. Are you sure this is the cause? If not, there could be other underlying health issues contributing to your weight loss. Maybe you should see a Dr

    Gallon of milk a day (GOMAD). Make sure to drink whole milk.
