Tips for Getting Fat
There are buckets of advice out there for those looking to lose weight—but what if your goal is the exact opposite?
We live in an age of constant weight-loss messaging. But what if you’re trying to pack on pounds instead? Is there a gain-weight diet that actually works?
“Putting on weight and getting properly fat can be a serious challenge for some,” says nutritionist Gunnar Roede to Smalltown Magazine. “The key is patience—and, of course, eating. A lot.”
Smalltown Magazine sat down with Roede, who also runs the local food club Grandend—which, he explains, is named after “the fat end of a stick.” Unlike his mother, who is famously associated with slimming programs, Roede now runs fattening courses in Smalltown.
“You could say it’s a great business model,” Roede grins. “Mom slims them down, I bulk them back up.”
“But seriously,” says Roede, reaching into a bag of sea salt chips, “getting fat takes discipline. You’ve got to eat more calories than you burn—consistently. And you have to eat even when you’re not hungry. Also, quit exercising. That’s the real enemy.”
Any specific advice for Smalltown Magazine readers as the swim season approaches?
“Absolutely,” says Roede. “Potato chips.”
“Potato chips?” we ask, unsure if he’s joking.
“Yes,” nods Roede while munching contentedly. “Chips for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Add snacks, late-night meals, and ideally a bag before you even get out of bed.”
“Just chips?” we ask again.
“Why not?” shrugs Roede. “They’re delicious—especially the sea salt kind.”
