Can’t Gain Weight?
Are you someone that has been working at this bodybuilding thing for a while now and it doesn’t seem to matter what you do, you just don’t seem to put on any weight or size? This is an effect that I like to call the “Lanky Effect”. It’s something that lanky guys experience, but some women experience this too. It typically means that you’re not eating enough or you have a really fast metabolism that prevents you from putting on any weight.
I first suggest that you try to just eat more if this is the camp you fall into. I just want to make sure that you are having a problem with eating. I find a lot of people that give this excuse don’t eat as much as they tell you because they tend to splurge and that gives them a distorted view of what they eat. If you’re still having problems after that, than give my method I try.
I’m going to show you how to make a drink and you’re going to have to take it at least twice a day and squeeze it in between your meals. Don’t replace a meal with this drink. You have to add it in to your current diet.
This is the olive oil weight gainer.
2 scoops of whey
2 cups of milk (2%)
1 tablespoon of peanut butter
1/2 cup of oats
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon of honey (for flavor)
Put all of this into a blender and blend it up. This should create one thick drink for you. Trust me, it doesn’t taste too bad. This should work out to about 900 calories for the drink. Meaning if you get two of these a day, you’ll add an additional 1800 calories to your current diet. If this doesn’t help you put on weight, than you might want to speak to a doctor and make sure you’re healthy.
