It may be tempting to start eating high fat meats to gain weight, but eating high-fat protein may lead to other problems, such as high cholesterol. Lean proteins are the best choice for healthy weight gain, so opt for lean proteins instead. Good sources of lean protein include:  Skinless turkey or chicken breast Lean beef Pork loin Light tuna (packed in water) Tofu or tempeh Beans Some fruits and vegetables are higher in fat and calories than others. By choosing higher calorie options, you will have a better chance of gaining weight. When it comes to fruits and vegetables, go for bananas, pineapples, raisins, other dried fruits, peas, corn, potatoes, and squashes. Carbohydrates are a great source of calories, but some choices have higher calories than others. Steer clear of “light” breads and cereals to avoid low-calorie choices. When choosing bread, look for healthy higher calorie breads like 100% whole wheat bread. Other good options include:  Whole grain cereals Granola Bran muffins Whole wheat bagels Whole wheat pasta Brown rice When you're grilling vegetables, meats, or other foods, use a healthy cooking oil to add some fat and calories. Opt for olive, grapeseed, or canola oils over vegetable oil. Olive, grapeseed, and canola oils are higher in calories and also contain more nutrients your body needs to put on weight in a healthy fashion. Try drizzling olive oil over a salad, use canola oil to grease a pan, or replace butter with canola oil in cookie recipes. Coconut milk is a great source of lactose-free fat and calories, so incorporating it into your diet may help you to gain some weight as well. Coconut milk is a good source of healthy fat as well as other nutrients and it is quite versatile, so you can use it in a variety of recipes.  Try making a coconut milk based curry, replace dairy milk with coconut milk in a soup recipe, or add a spoonful of coconut milk to your morning coffee. Coconut milk in it's looser, liquid form is a direct substitute for cow's milk. Coconut milk in it's more solid form (such as, in a can) is a perfect substitute for whipped cream or creamer. Nuts are a great, nutrient-dense snack that are also high in calories. Macadamia nuts, pecans, pine nuts, brazil nuts, and walnuts have the highest calorie count while chestnuts, cashews, and peanuts are on the lower end of the spectrum.  Try munching on a handful of nuts as a snack or incorporate nuts into other recipes. For example, you could throw some cashews into a stir-fry, blend walnuts into a pesto sauce, or add chopped almonds to a batch of chocolate chip cookies. Spread nut butter on bread or try some with fruit. Adding nut butters, like peanut butter and cashew butter, to a slice of whole wheat toast can be a great way to increase calories while getting in a healthy snack.Try spreading a tablespoon of almond butter on toast or dip apple slices in some peanut butter. Hummus is a highly recommended spread for healthy weight gain as it contains chickpeas, which are high in calories, as well as healthy fats, and nutrients. Hummus is a great source of fiber as well. Try spread some hummus on a slice of bread, using it as a dip for veggies, or adding a scoop of hummus to a salad. Avocados are high in fat and rich in nutrients, so eating avocado is a great way to add some calories into your diet if you are lactose intolerant. Avocados are best known as the main ingredient in guacamole, but they have a mild flavor, so you can use them in lots of different ways. Try spreading guacamole on a sandwich, toss some avocado slices into your salad, or throw ¼ of an avocado into a fruit smoothie to add some fat and calories without changing the flavor. You should avoid using added sugar to gain weight as too much sugar can increase your risk for a variety of medical issues. However, adding honey to snacks and drinks may help you gain weight safely. Some research shows honey helps with malnutrition and it also has strong antibacterial properties. If you have diabetes you may want to avoid honey. While honey does not have the same effect on blood sugar as table sugar, some studies indicate it can affect blood sugar levels.

Summary: Choose lean proteins for healthy weight gain. Choose higher calorie fruits and vegetables. Eat dense breads and cereals. Cook with oil. Use coconut milk. Snack on nuts. Incorporate hummus into your diet. Indulge in some avocado. Drizzle some honey on your food.


Fill a bowl with lukewarm water and add a few drops of liquid soap into it. Stir the solution enough so that the soap and water combine but not so much that it begins to foam. Use a mild liquid soap, such as hand soap or dish soap. Avoid harsh detergents as they can damage the amber. Microfiber or flannel work best. Dip the cloth into the bowl and wring it out so that there is no dripping water left. You want the cloth to be damp, not wet. Wipe the jewelry again immediately afterward with a dry cloth to dry it. If you are cleaning more than one piece of jewelry, clean and dry each piece separately. Do not leave the amber to dry by itself, or you risk it turning cloudy. This not only removes grease marks, but also helps polish the amber. Apply a small amount of oil to your hands, and then rub the oil over the amber. Wipe it away immediately afterwards with a soft, dry cloth. If you do not have olive oil, you can use almond oil instead.

Summary: Prepare a bowl of soapy water. Find a soft, clean cloth. Wipe the cloth over the amber jewelry to remove any dirt. Polish your amber with some olive oil.


Most cat bites occur when cats feel that they have to defend themselves. If you have pet cats, teach your children to understand your cats' body language. A cat that is scared may:  Hiss Growl Lay his ears flat against his head Become pilo erect, in which the fur stands up, making the cat look bigger than usual Frequent situations in which a cat may become aggressive include:  When she is cornered If her tail is pulled If she is held when she is struggling to get away If she is startled or hurt During rough play. Instead of allowing your cat to wrestle with your hands or feet, drag a string and let the cat chase that instead. Strays often live in cities or towns, but they may not be used to close contact with humans. Don’t try to pet them or pick them up.  Don't feed stray or feral cats in areas where they will come into contact with children. Cats that are not used to people may react unpredictably.

Summary: Learn how to recognize when cats are feeling threatened. Be gentle to cats. Avoid interacting with stray cats.


You may need multiple coats to achieve a glossy coat. Use spray paint in a ventilated area in clothes that you don't mind ruining. Let the box dry completely before bringing the box indoors. Apply the glue directly to the cardboard then attach the craft foam. Applying hot glue directly to foam may burn/warp your craft foam pieces.   Cut and stretch the stockings across the inside of the mouth and hot glue into place. Make sure you can see out of the mouth.
Summary: Paint all the craft foam parts. Paint the box. Hot glue all craft foam parts and the battery cover to the box. Use a ruler to draw on the outline of the face with a marker and paint the teeth and tongue. Paste BMO's name onto each side of the box with the O's covering your arm holes. Line the inside of the mouth with black stockings.
