The Raging Bull 2

You want to box in the heavyweight category, but you’re 3 kilos short. You mention this to your friend while relaxing in the bar, and he replies that you’ll get the above kilograms in no time. Your friend likes riddles so he tells you the one below.
How could a boxer gain weight naturally by eating the least food?

What is the timeline we're looking at? How long does the heavyweight boxer wannabe have until he must weigh in?

The riddle isn’t directly connected to the introduction.

hmmm..... I think there are forms of meditation that stops your body from using energy and therefore conserving all the food you eat.
Or maybe the opposite of liposuction. Don't know if you can fight after that though

That would not be natural though...
How about eating food with a drop of plutonium?

Drink salted water. The salt will make you retain the water. For three kilo's, three liters will suffice

Dennis got a right answer there and DONT eat that much. if you eat you use 55% more energy then when you dont.
so if you want to lose weight you need to eat. Want to gain weight? eat nothin for 2 days. and drink lots and LOTS

What does one regard as food? One could place things on their body or inside their body which wouldn't be eating, no?

Don't exercise, don't do any strenuous activities. Or rather, do not engage in any activity aside from eating and sleeping.
Actually, with the right exercise, you can add to your body weight. Stay away from the calory burning exercises, such as jogging and running. Instead, concentrate on muscle building modules, push ups, sit ups, stomach crunches, work with weights. It'll convert your loose fat into muscles, leaving 'empty' spaces for additional fats/carbs to be absorbed from food.

He can eat pellets of lead. That doesn't count as food. He has to eat them just before the match, because they will be discarded quickly.
Not sure about risks poisoning. Don't try that at home.
Or he can go for surgery and become a woman.

Nope, but two riddlers are sort of on the right track. I won’t say which for now.

There’s no limit here. Take as much time as you want, as long as it isn’t 10 years. No need to overdo it.
Perhaps it sounds a bit silly, but the riddle stands, as it isn’t connected to the introduction.
