- Load up on simple carbs
The fastest weight gainer out there are simple sugars. Simple sugars put your insulin production in overdrive. Insulin, being one of the most anabolic hormones known to man.
Starchy carbs also help promote weight gain. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and most types of rice with every meal will ensure a lot of the weight you ingest will stick to you.
I personally also found that increasing starchy carbs/simple sugars also spiked my appetite. The sugar crashes will constantly cause the body to re uptake leptin, and freely allow ghrelin to run rampant.
- Schedule meals
If you got class, bring food in tupperware. Whatever situation you’re in, you must program and prepare your next day and meticulously schedule when your feed time is.
If you must wake up earlier and sleep later to eat more, so be it.
- Eat until you’re almost TOO full
Granted, this is not possible in the beginning because you will ALWAYS be full if you’re doing this properly. But as you progress, eat enough to full your belly pop out, but enough space for a large sundae. Use this to look forward to your next meal. Gradually, your eating times remain, but the portions increase.
- Eat salty.
Salt not only retains water in your system, but also nutrients.
It also makes your food taste better.
- Use condiments.
A steak is easier to down with some Peter Luger sauce on it, no? French fries with ketchup, meat loaf with gravy, baked potato with butter, etc.
- Drink liquids, only after completing meals.
Feel free to take a small sip so you don’t choke, but save the big chug for after the meal. You may drink as much as you want after the meal.
- Rest after meals.
Take a nap. Give your body time to process the food. Plus you should be too full to move anyway. This is a tip I’ve learned from sumo wrestlers… and common knowledge that is overlooked.
- Take steroids.
I personally never have, but there are knowledgeable people out there who can point you in the right direction.
- Train hard, but rest a lot.
In between sets that is.
- Use mountain dew or pepsi for your shakes.
This is a tip I stole from watching Jay Cutler on some show.
And just drink more full sugar soda. Weight will pack on.
- Variety
It’s easier to eat some red meat with some taters on the side. Even better, add some potato chips, extra butter, fritos, and grape soda with your steak. Sauce it up.
*disclaimer
Everything you see here, except for the gear, I have used myself to gain an exorbitant amount of weight in the past. However, none of these are things I would recommend for anyone trying to be healthy. Proceed with discretion.
