Gomad
 

Some of you cunts have seen me and know I'm a skinny guy. We're not talking anorexic, but it's slowly improving. I've been going to the gym at least 2/3 times a week lifting and doing alot of compound exercises. However the current issue I have is I'm not gaining weight quick enough due to my fast metabolism.

I weigh around 65kg and want to get another 10 kilos. What I wanted to ask you guys is: Has anyone tried it? Is drinking a gallon (4 litres) of milk a day worth it?(I'm also thinking starting a 1/2 a gallon as a gallon is alot).

What does a typical day's meals currently look like for you at the mo?

Well today I ate
3 croissants

Cornish pasty
Steak
2 medium jacket potatoes

Lasagne

7 glasses(250ml) of water
7 glasses(250ml) of milk

Every day is different I usually have around 90-110 grams of protein.

fuck it i typed a great long reply and it timed out or something! I'll sit down on monday and knock it out when i've got a bit more time :)

Have you tried having 2-3 protein shakes per day mixed with milk and not water?

it depends on what u want to do. If you are skinny. just eat ANYTHING.

because you are naturally prone to fat burning provided its not trans fats just cram as much food in ur face as you can and train hard.

red milk is really bad coz its full of sugar.

make it blue!

OK

I was going to re-type a great long thing about what's wrong with your diet, but you didn't ask for that so I'll stfu with my food opinions xD

I am curious why you want fast gains though? People who want that usually go for steroids, not that I think that's a good idea. I mean you are a sensible guy it seems from your posts, why not take your time, accept reality, and slowly build a body that you can sustain permanently?

I was awaiting your post, if you get the time go ahead and rewrite it.

I gain weight pretty slowly in fact I've been working out for about 2 months now probably missing all together 2/2.5 weeks sessions due to being away from my gym due to injury(like now(sprained wrist playing football)) or job interviews away from home.

I was on 10 stone when I started and it hasn't moved at all even though I am looking slightly bigger.

Due to not having a choice of meals every day GOMAD is sort of like a supplement to me, to reach the nutrients I need.

On top of that, from what I've read it increases strength and weight faster than normal.

OK

So a few things spring to mind. None of them fast fixes I'm afraid.

First thing is that you want to give your digestion a tune up so that it optimally absorbs energy and transports it to the cells. No point half of what you eat not getting to where you want it getting to. This means a bit of a detox wouldn't hurt as a starting place. Do some googling but basically what you want to do is drink nothing but water and a lot of it, eat a lot of green veg and salad, and keep the meats and in particular fats, organic. Nuts and organic butter are fine. Things that go gloopy like chia seeds can be good too, binds to the nasties that live in the gut and helps the body shit em out.

I'd do that for at least 2 weeks, preferably 4. Lower your training load a lot during this time as your body will have work on it's plate processing the toxins out anyway. FYI you may feel shite during this.

The next thing you want to do is increase the nutritional density of what you are eating so you get more bang for your buck. Organic is good. Grains are bad, some people even call grains anti nutrients because they slow the absorption of some minerals in the gut (including magnesium I think, which is important). Grains means bread/pastries/cereal/pasta/rice…etc. The other trouble with grains, well I could go on forever, but basically they are nutritionally barren, fuck digestion up in a lot of people, and cause blood sugar drama.

On the Gomad thing, thing is you can't do it for long or you'll fuck your gut up. It's nature's way of forcing us to get a varied diet. You may well end up giving yourself a long term sensitivity to dairy. Moreover if it's not sustainable you'll only lose any gains you get so what's the point? Besides milk is full of sugar, lactose itself is a sugar.

To gain weight while improving body composition I'd eat per the detox diet above, but just a SHIT LOAD of it. Each plate say a third animal, two thirds plants. 3 or 4 plates a day. Handful of nuts every now and again. Maybe switch each plate up to half and half, the ratios are an individual thing.

I think most people would suggest a high quality protein shake after your workout and a lot of fish oil tabs throughout the day high in EPA/DHA but neither of those are my bag personally.

The other thing I would suggest is plenty of sleep, especially the hours before midnight if you can, it aids with repair of what you are breaking down in the gym.

That's bout it really. If I think of anything else I'll edit later.
