help with nutrition

Hi, ive recently started become worried about my weight as I believe I am quite underweight. I eat a largely meat based diet, and eat regularly but I never seem to gain any weight, which I believe must be down to a fast metabolism.

Could anyone help me with suggestion on things to eat that can help me gain wight?

Thanks a lot for your help

If you are eating well balanced meals following the food guide, I wouldn't worry about weight,.

Weight training will definitely add weight.

As you get older I promise you WILL gain weight!!  (Then you will be wishing for the good old days.)

<a href="http://www.getnutri.com/Vitex.html">Vitex</a> is also known as Chaste Tree Berry, <ahref="http://www.getnutri.com/Vitex.html">Vitex</a> agnus-castus or monk's pepper. It is a fruity herb plant that grows in Mediterranean countries and central Asia. Vitex is a natural remedy that aids women with problems in infertility, premenstrual syndrome, menstrual difficulties, acne, fibrocystic breast disease and heavy menstruation.
<a href="http://www.getnutri.com/Vitex.html">Vitex</a> helps to lengthen luteal phase defects and helps to lower high prolactin levels, both of which causes infertility. However, <a href="http://www.getnutri.com/Vitex.html">Vitex</a> does not contain hormones - its benefits stem from its actions upon the pituitary gland - specifically upon the production of lutenizing hormone. This helps to increase the production of progesterone - thus helping to regulate the menstrual cycle. It also aids in decreasing prolactin levels. A breastfeeding mom, for example, would produce a high level of prolactin, thus the natural birth control effect. But in decreasing the prolactin levels - it may enable a woman to finally become pregnant.
I've heard it said both ways about when and how much vitex should be taken. Some say to take it from menstruation to ovulation - stopping once ovulation has been established and then continuing again if menstruation should occur. Others have said it is safe to take all month long - stopping if pregnancy should occur. On this argument - the effects vitex has on a woman's hormones can benefit her throughout her entire cycle. Also, it may be a smart practice to discontinue any supplements during menstruation, to allow the body to completely cleanse itself. I would suggest reading the bottle and asking a health professional about the dosage and time to take vitex.
<a href="http://www.getnutri.com/Vitex.html">Vitex</a> is not a fast acting herb and may take several months to build up in your system. I have read that when using vitex to treat infertility you can take it up to 12 to 18 months - or until pregnancy occurs. Should pregnancy not occur in that time span, seek the advice of a health care professional for the next steps in achieving pregnancy. Another note of caution - you cannot take vitex while taking the fertility drug Clomid - or any drug like Clomid. It seems that <a href="http://www.getnutri.com/Vitex.html">Vitex</a> and Clomid counter act each other.
