Hi, To increase your Weight gain you should have Hiegh Protien Diet.
If you want to gain weight, you should follow a healthy lifestyle by taking healthy food, doing exercise, and many more things.

Some people take soda to increase weight, no doubt soda may help you to gain weight, but it can destroy your health at the same time.
