Hog Diet?!? I need to fatten up...

I have been on both sides of the weight problem, and both sides have the same basic rules baring a medical issue. If you eat more calories than you burn you gain weight and if you burn more than you eat you lose weight.

Exercise will add muscle but only if you eat more food or start using supplements. To eat more you might consider seeing if you can at least cut back on the smoking before meal times as it kills you appetite (as do hot drinks like coffee). And it would be best to stop for a lot of reasons.:)

And as someone said just get on a balanced diet and get on at least three scheduled meals a day.

When I was losing too much weight it was because I was training 20 hours a week. The only thing that worked for me was to eat four meals a day plus hi carb protein drinks.

Now that I can train only 4 to 6 hours I’m just… well a hopeless cause.:mad: :thumbdn:
 
Appreciate all the advice so far. I'll get to the grocery store some day. Looks like I'll be getting up early tomorrow and going for a jog and some exercise. I may try the burpee's (?) since I don't have access to weights right now nor do I have the funds for a gym membership at this time. I'll get something rigged up.

People like me are the reason why bath mats were invented :D So you don't fall down when you run around in the shower. :thumbup: Tell your wife I say hi and please ask her to get a single sister than can cook :D Infi helps too lol

Cardio might not be that great, it takes the lbs off.

If you take in more calories than you can burn, Cardio is fine and you will still be going in the right direction. If your body burns whatever you feed it, too much cardio might make you go backward.

I would start with 50-50 strength training and cardio, then cut back the cardio a bit and see what happens.

HogWash is right of course...but without cardio, you probably won't be able to get hungry. Also, weight changes -- especially sudden or large ones -- are hard on the body. Cardio improves your fitness overall and helps you resist all sorts of stress.

I'd hate to see our younger brother pack on lots of useless blubber -- what KAAK needs is some good, solid, lean muscle.
 
I just had a funny thought.... what a place to get fitness advice.

Is anyone here actually fit? I know I'm not anymore.

OH... Amy-0 :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Oh, Lord no!

Five years ago -- sure!! Now? No way!!

All I have are memories...:o

Of course, since KAAK is asking us HOW TO GAIN WEIGHT -- well, where better???
 
I figure you guys know where are the good calories are ;) After all, I would never have learned about Fogo's had I not come here :thumbup:

Besides that, I see all the grillin' pics you guys post (Especially Skunk) :cool:
 
Well minus the steroids you can do what AhhNald did... Load up a backpack and do leg lunges around the hills.. I'm sure ( well WE know ) you have enough INFI to do that for the weight. Great multi muscle exercise. Given that, relax on the CC's and join the gym when you can; probably what you don't want to hear but if you can at least get to know some guys in the gym it'll help you keep motivated.

All he asked about was gaining weight, we are experts from what I have seen. :)
 
It's not what you eat, it's what you metabolize that's going to determine hypertrophic gain.

Start eating 5 or 6 small, solid meals throughout the day, gradually phase out the smoking and learn to derive that pleasure from eating (cleanly) and start applying some high-quality physical stress to your body. It's an adaptive-response mechanism. It grows toward the light. :)
 
One reason to concentrate on the leg aspect part training is that TOOOO many people only concentrate on the upper body, which is way funny if you ever get a chance to see a local body building show. Constant amateur mistake.

Besides the upper body has to carry the weight if you're going to load the legs.
Remember don't be over zealous, nothing like that lactic acid build up pain the next day.
 
You basically need to start eating!! 5-8 small- medium meals a day, lots of milk, eggs, tuna, meat, chicken and more milk. Also heaps of carbs, rice, potatoes, pasta and plenty of fresh fruit and veg. Combine this with some basic weight training and you will grow.

I don't see the point in just getting fat, so weight training would be just as important. Go for compound movements like squats, bench, deadlifts, bentover rows and military press, train 3-5 days a week and use a variety of rep ranges.

Good Luck.

Maybe your smoking the wrong thing...no,no,no I'm kidding

Don't smoke or drink the coffee and you should eat more.

3 meals a day and a snack or two should do it.

BTW- your weight would have been close to normal 1000, 100 or even 50 years ago. I'm sure it is more healthy to be your weight than mine and most others in this country. That is if you stop smoking and start eating better.
 
Hey LittlePrick, you kettlebell any?.Swear by them..Precision nutrition..will give you all the tools you need to put on quality muscle google it ,great recipes for different meals and protein shakes...pricey but you wont need anything else.....for real. the Dr.Squat 20 rep squat protocol is an excellent way to pack on the beef...ya gotta find the right gym for that one..cuz you are gonna freakin scream and maybe hurl eventually....yer local chain is gonna frown on that...I recomend you put on size and become fit at the same time...rossboxing.com .Both of the the books there are EXCELLENT! gotta remember though about 70 percent of putting on quality weight is what you put in your face....drive on ,bro
 
Blend in a little bacon grease with your bedtime protein shake!:D Good luck with the weight gain, though. Lifting heavy focusing on chest, back, and legs at first will pack on the pounds quickly if you eat right. Don't just get fat. Build some muscle. The caffeine and nicotine might be drying you out, too.
 
That Bastid KAAK actually got me to go run tonight for the first time in about a year.

Man this is going to hurt tomorrow. :grumpy: :grumpy: ;)


(It is no longer thought that lactic acid causes soreness.)
