Please make sure you don't have a thyroid problem. Then be disciplined about your eating habits. Don't "forget" to eat. btdt

Thyroid cancer is actually a common problem among Asian women.

Great advice. That is how you build bulk.

You are asian. There's nothing you can do about it except marry a non-asian and not inflict it on your kids.

Start eating healthy foods like sugar, rice, potato etc..... And eat enough food you want to eat. It helps you to gain weight. You can also take supplements, but I personally not in favor to use supplements to gain weight.

Sugar makes you crash, I wouldn't call that healthy food .

No. No you wont look "all muscley and gross". What are you 12 years old or something? Look at how many gyms are filled with skinny men who are working their butts off but they never end up looking all "musclely" as you say.

Eat a LOT of good, clean, healthy foods, and do whole body workouts. Do you have a gym membership or access to weights? If not I can give you a ton of body weight exercises that you can do to help you gain weight, get healthy and look better.

This is a myth.

You can only ADVISE someone if you know their complete medical history. All genetics ARE NOT created equal.

On another note, a guy with low testosterone can get strong but will have a hard time gaining muscle mass. Everything that your saying is one reason why I NEVER listen to "experts". There is no size fits all. People have no idea what they're talking about.

This my friends is 12 weeks of diet perfection, this is zero cheating, 3000 calories a day of clean fuel (yes, 3000!!!), and believe it or not ZERO cardio. This was 6 days a week of lifting weights for 1 hour a day and living a very clean diet lifestyle. This is extreme....8% body fat should not be anyone female's goal (unless you want to be on stage) but it does show that with the proper fuel and lots of very heavy lifting our bodies can do amazing things. Cardio rocks for endorphins, for your heart health, for weight loss, but its my very strong opinion that we need to weight train to achieve the lean muscle mass we are all seeking. Ladies especially, don't be intimidated by the weight room. Get in there and get it done....your body will thank you!
That is one of the most unattractive female bodies I've ever seen. If I even began to look like that I'd probably shoot myself!
