Weight Gain 101

[abear]

I've changed my mind - I'm not going to try this diet. I don't have the time or the means, and besides - doctors already know that the reason I can't gain is not because of the amount I eat. It's because of a lack of trypsin in my pancreas. Thanks for all your help anyway. Seems like a lot of people want to help but not too many people need it.


I also disgree with part of the diet. One gallon of water every day is not healthy. My uncle was told by his nutritionist to do that and he became very sick as a result, almost passing into a coma. I heard that half a gallon was the recommended dose. And don't forget that many fruits and vegetables are over seventy percent water. It seems like what you've set up is a standard for everyone, or what you consider it, abear. It will not help me to gain weight though - it will only make me sick.

I went to a particular nutritionist once. I hated her. She basically said "Alright, you need to be eating two pieces of toast with butter, scrambled eggs bacon and pancakes, for breakfast." I didn't even hear her say about lunch and supper - I was to shocked. Some mornings I can barely choke down half a piece of bread. People just do NOT understand. And they try to help when they don't even know what it's like. People are not the same. Your diet would eventually kill me, because part of the reason I am skinny is because my mother was. I have a slight frame. It's genetic. AND I have a pancreatic disorder. I get sick when I eat too much. I already eat as much as I can. No way can I do better than that.

I'm sorry if I sound frustrated. If I sound frustrated it's because I am.

Great, i hope you eventually find something to help you out. I wish you the best of luck!!!!

and about the one gallon of water daily: remember, just because one person may have had a bad experience does not mean that everyone will.

Don't forget to mention that if you want to gain muscle, you need to be getting your protien in. this means atleast shooting for 150-200+ grams per day minimun. You can find that in steak, tuna, chicken, dairy, etc.

Also, b-12 increases your appetite so you can eat more.

Also, don't forget to workout the legs. If you do, your upper body will grow faster.



It also should be noted that no matter how great your training is, you won't grow unless you eat correctly either.

the other way around in reverse is true, also

i love quoting looney tunes cartoons.

Hello,

I am currently working on gaining weight myself. I'm 'almost' 140 lbs now -
up from about 130.... I've always been slim (skinny) - with no definition
in my chest or shoulders - that's changing

(btw - male - 40)

A few sites I would recommend you check out

musclegaintips
I almost bought this - I did subscribe to the emails (free) - and learned
quite a bit from them.

how-to-gain-weight
good info - nothing to sell...

brinkzone

Another I 'almost purchased' -
musclebuildingnutrition

This is what I ended up purchasing - mainly as a 'double purpose plan' that
my wife could use to lose, and I could to gain - results - she isn't
motivated to try - me? - I'm gaining ---

burnthefat (deleted directory)

however - I gained most of this info (FREE) - after I purchased the above
ebook - however - BOTH are a bit sparse on an 'exact' roadmap to go on (so
I've been using the info - and designing my own) - it's working

fitren
in the library on this site is (some of) the exact info I use:
fitren (deleted directory)

I've been 'at it' for about a month. Slow - but it's happening.

I understand you have a pancreatic disorder. I know nothing about that - or
if these ideas will work - but - why not take a look - if it's different
than what you've seen - hopefully it will work


abear and Rising suns are right on target (there is a formula on site for
calculating the amount of protein) - tuna - chicken - dairy (cottage cheese
and yogurt) - protein powder - eggs....

I know - this is 2 months later - but I just found the site --- looking for
recipe - menu ideas - that's the biggest hurdle I have.....

Best of luck!
TM
