Are you still too thin, even after trying hard not to diet? You might be ignoring some of the triggers that make you want to eat fattening foods.

Here are some tips for you to gain weight fast. They are based on the latest research:

- Don't eat any protein! Especially avoid fish and eggs, which have too much protein and will just slow down your digestion.

- Don't eat any fiber! Tasteless fiber also slows down digestion and prevents exciting spikes in your blood sugar. Force yourself to eat only spongy white stuff: white rice, biscuits, white bread, and pasta alla gumma.

- Don't be tempted to up the flavor of your food up with anything either, such as spices or olive oil; that will only make you feel full sooner.

- Serve your meals in huge platters right at the table, not the stove. Put it on huge plates, too. If you use small plates, the portions look larger. It wouldn't be nice to fool your brain into thinking you're eating more than you really are.

- Stay up late, and don't sleep in. Getting enough sleep won't make you crave calories. An easy rule of thumb to remember is five hours of sleep a night yields five more pounds of weight.

- Don't mix high- and low-calorie foods. If you're going to eat potato chips, have them with Cheez Whiz instead of dipping them in yogurt along with celery, zucchini, or carrot sticks. They obviously don't go together!

My tips were taken from an article I read about an interview of Susan B. Roberts, PhD, a senior scientist and professor of nutrition and psychiatry at Tufts University. But they should still work.
