Would gaining weight give you the same symptoms as a pregnancy you think you are pregnant have all the symptoms but got a negative result could you just be getting fat?

Are you still getting your period? Gaining weight can make you
more tired. It wont make your breast tender unless its alot of
weight at once. Like 25 pounds or more in a few weeks. You do not
get sick from gaining weight. You dont get swollen ankles from
gaining weight, those come after gaining weight. Go to the doctor
and take the pregnancy test there because its more accurate than
the store one. If your not pregnant they can evaluate the weight
gain. It could be something else like thyroid.
Asked in Dieting and Weight Loss, Exercise
If you are gaining weight but losing fat is that ok?

Yes. If you are working out and gaining muscle tone, then it is
reasonable that you may gain a little weight (a few pounds) or not
lose as much weight as you normally would have if you were just
losing "fat" weight. It is good that you are losing fat! In
addition, you may be putting on some water weight as your body
adjusts. This will go away completely within a few weeks or so. If
this is not the case, and you are losing "fat" but still gaining
weight, you may want to see a nutritionist or doctor to find out
why that would be happening. Absent of that, there is nothing wrong
with gaining a few pounds of muscle as you lose fat.
Asked in Dieting and Weight Loss
How do you lose weight when you are not hungry?

Eating is the cause of gaining weight, so when people aren't
hungry and don't eat, they naturally lose weight due to the fact
that they are not putting any weight into their body. In fact, if
they are still having bowel movements and are urinating, along with
burning calories, they are expending more weight than they are
putting in.

How do I gain weight to donate blood?

A good place to start gaining healthy weight would be a calorie
calculator. Using a calorie calculator, you will be able to
accurately determine how much you should be eating on a regular
basis to gain weight and still stay healthy to give blood. Foods
that are nutrient dense such as carrots, tomatoes, spinach, apples,
oatmeal, salmon and whole grain pastas are an excellent way to gain
weight. However, gaining weight to donate blood is not recommended
by physicians. Most physicians will recommend that you eat healthy
and ensure that you have a stable weight before trying to donate
blood.
