145. how to gain weight for skinny girls

If you’re scared of eating more, frustrated that fat loss keeps stalling, or feel triggered every time the scale goes up, this episode will change how you see your body and your goals.

This episode is for you if you’re:

- Trying to look toned but keep running back to calorie deficits

- Afraid of weight gain, eating more, or coming out of fat loss

- Lifting weights but still not seeing definition or shape

- Triggered by clothes fitting tighter or small scale fluctuations

- Stuck in the cycle of dieting, restricting, then starting over

In this episode, I break down why I’m intentionally gaining weight right now and how building muscle first is the fastest way to look leaner, stronger, and more toned long term - without calorie counting, punishment cardio, or extremes.

I’ll show you:

- Why fat loss alone doesn’t create a “toned” look

- The difference between getting smaller vs changing your body composition

- How strength training, progressive overload, and eating enough actually reshape your body

- Why cardio and HIIT don’t fix body composition when muscle is missing

- What I’m eating during a muscle-building phase (realistic, balanced, no restriction)

- How to navigate body image triggers when eating more or gaining weight

This is a real look at:

- Building muscle as a woman

- Body recomposition vs constant dieting

- Healing your relationship with food and exercise

- Letting go of all-or-nothing fat loss thinking
