They don't approve or want to help with the process cause of the cost and the card worried about my health but I want this and I want to gain up to 50lbs before December if possible
To convince your parents, approach the topic calmly and respectfully, showing that you are thinking about your health. Explain that you plan to do it in a controlled way, with proper and consistent nutrition, and that your goal is not just to gain weight but also to maintain a healthy body. You could suggest involving a nutritionist or doctor to ensure the process is safe. If they see that you are planning carefully and have knowledge and readiness, they will be much more open. Additionally, show them that gaining weight is very important to you emotionally and that it’s a life goal that brings you happiness.
Also, gaining about 50 pounds in three months is almost impossible in a healthy way. To gain that much weight in a short time, you would need to consume enormous calorie surpluses every day, which could lead to serious health problems (like strain on the heart, liver, pancreas, diabetes, high cholesterol, digestive issues, etc.).
In reality, healthy weight gain is about 1-2 ibs per week, which means in three months you could gain roughly 13–26 ibs in a healthy way. If you want to gain as much as possible relatively safely, you should focus on couple things:
Eat more calories than you burn, mainly from calorie-dense foods like avocado, nuts, peanut butter, pasta, rice, whole breads, and healthy oils.
Protein: Important for building muscle, not just fat – eggs, milk, cheese, meat, legumes.
Frequent meals: Eat every 2–3 hours, including healthy snacks.
Calorie-rich drinks: Shakes with milk, protein, fruits, peanut butter.
Light strength training: So that the added weight includes muscle, not just fat.
In conclusion, you can realistically and relatively safely gain 13–26 ibs by December. Trying to gain 50 ibs in such a short period is unsafe and harmful to your health. you might gain 50 ibs from 6 to 12 months, which is more realistic.
GOOD LUCK!
