Get help: How anemic? What is your weight and have you lost or just always low? First step to answering how to gain weight is to find out why you are not. Is it psychiatric or is there a medical reason (thyroid, malabsorbtion, cancer, infection, others) start by visiting a good general doctor for an exam and blood tests.
