Hey guys,

I wanna know if anyone of you actually tried GOMAD or is still on GOMAD? I'm on my first week, great so far - gained 2kg and going to increase my milk intake gradually. Problem is, milk is not exactly cheap haha - so does anyone know of suppliers or wholesale for that matter?

Another thing, going by the rule of 1-1.5g protein per pound of bodyweight, how much is necessary for the tissue recovery n muscle growth? I heard its at least 1.. then what happens to the excess protein if we take more than 1.5g? Cuz my protein intake everyday is 140g, I'm 60kg atm. GOMAD currently is at 1L per day which is 30g protein per day, if its at 2L itll be 60g, and I still continue to eat the same amount, meaning my protein intake will increase by 30g per week, does it enhance growth or something? Cuz I've heard stories about enormous growth within a month via GOMAD.

Pardon me for overanalysing and calculating. I'm still eating as much as I can tho, just wanted to clear the air about this.

Nope, u dont grow more than wat ur body needed.
diff ppl have diff muscle growth rate and of coz same goes as muscle recovery. so, its hard to say. some ppl can recover their muscles in 48 hours, but some need longer time.
all of this very hard to say.
i guess best way is to maintain 1-1.5g per lbs body weight.
and do ur workout well, rest well.
then, i think naturally the growth will be visible after sometime.

I was thinking the same too, diff bodies react differently. I'm thinking of slowly increasing 250ml or 500ml per week until I can find a supplier who I can get full cream milk at rm 3-3.5 per Litre (LOL IMPOSSIBLE I KNOW)

JonYeap: thanks bro! for me now just keeping a consistent diet and increasing weights consistently!

u will have risk hypercalcemia,
hehe, i think u hsould balance your dite, according to daily requirement

I think its possible if u get in cartons. =.=
haha... try finding suppliers that can do big bulks.
maybe u can bulk with some of ur frens or lowyat members

hmmm... true.. too much of anything isnt good.. but I'm thinking its one of the quickest way to gain weight if paired with strength training, I hope to stop when I reach my target goal of 75-80kg.. see how first.. thinking of the cheapest alternative haha

try eggs as well.

Milk isn't top on a bodybuilder's list of proper bulking food. All it'll do is get you fat in the long term. Do it in moderation.

what is the proper bulking food? im interested to know

Chicken
Beef
Fish
Cheese

+++ eggs
- cheese

cheese will make u fat. =.=
hahaha

What about low fat cheese?

Gomad will definately make my stomach go mad. Tried to gulp down 1pack of HL in 3hours and the rest of the day i m having bloated stomach and feel and it feels like cramping, for all sudden i feel like a girl. =.=

this lasted til before i sleep. Crazy stuff. Lactose intolerance's enemy.

i love milk
wudnt take my whey without them (although this is not strictly exercised)
tapi no more than 1l per day and i take skim only

i think i am lactose intolerant. too bad. . i hate being one. thats why i am skinny like hell.

cottage cheese will do for its casein and lowest fat =)

take lactase pills.

i still havent got the clear picture bout lactase pills. is it taken to reduce the effect of lactose intolerant?

Yea..for GOMAD..U need to spend a lot on Milk..Havent fully committed to 1L per day..too exp for me to be honest..

GUYS! I feel like the dumbest(is this even a word?) person on earth!
I wanted to try GOMAD with powdered milk.. So what I did was, putting ice inside the thermos flask and fill in with milk..

I totally forgot about it and went out the next day. Is the thermos safe to use now? I heard that ur not suppose to put ice cubes inside, moreover.. BAD milk.

I still can't get over the smell now... I thought it was cheese!
=( =( =(

errr... not sure bro

Ouch, worst thing to happen ever. Rotten milk is </3

1litre HL milk daily coz it has the highest protein 52g per litre..for a month...ended up i lose out on meals coz i felt too bloated to even eat other stuff...

Ok this milk craze is kinda overrated.

i agree!

if you want...
drink your milk after your meals..not before meals..
thats why la bloated..how to eat...

=( !!

Personally, I don't care about the flask. but it's my mom's "beloved" so I feel kinda bad
-sigh-

high protein, low fat VS low protein, high fat.

which 1 will be more suitable for GOMAD?

GOMAD, carbs is pretty high thou.

Preferably high fat + protein

nuts good for you bro

and raisins...

Adding some yoghurt to your milk everytime u drink helps reduce bloating or at least take some yoghurt in the morning. Simplest solution would be to get some enzyme pills from the pharmacy. It reduces the gas a lot.

hmm will try it out....

Been drinking around 2 liters of milk a day for 2-3 weeks now. Gained around 4-5kg. Taking things slow.

Nice. Is fat gain apparent?

Not really. But I'm jogging 10km everyday. Preparation for a marathon. Haha.

Is it okay to GOMAD with powdered milk? Powdered milk easier to store (I'm living in a hostel with no fridge)

1 Gallon=4 liters. Maybe for mat salleh, drinking 4 liters of milk a day is ok but for tiny asians.....

gomad isnt a diet u can do for long, lets say your 175 cm. when you hit around 75kg u shouldn do gomad already. its kinda like to help u gain weight until you are at the weight of 1kg per every cm after 100cm of your height. i used powdered milk for awhile, but i prefer UHT milk. you can store UHT but UHT is more expensive than powdered.

read the nutritional value of wtv milk you're buying. make sure it should be at least 30g of protein and about 125-150kcal per litre. oh and full cream over low fat, unless u got a huge belly.

im trying to not rely so much on gomad now. while it got me the gains i wanted (though not completely, and not alot), its important to know u wont b chugging down so much milk once you hit your desired weight. that way u don really noe how to increase your daily calorie intake due to the milk dependancy. learning to take more oats and eggs to hit my calories daily now.

drink -30 min b4 eat = bloated
drink -30 min after eat = bloated

honestly, 1 galllon is not much lah. 4L...1 hour take only 220mL/H wut (18 hours/day). spread it n drink little by little.

those who did gomad, u not drinking anything else huh? too much calcium taken, i hope would not suffer batu karang or kidney failure later on. even with 1L/day urine also smell milk

where did u buy milk?

erm. like i said. gomad isnt a diet to stick with forever. u can probably hit your target weight in 1 year or less if u REALLY stick to proper training and nutrition.

cheapest milk i noe so far for UHTs are those that go for 3.50 on huge promotion at huge supermarkets - tesco those kind. or 3.99 on normal promos.

It's hard to get batu karang or kidney failure from just drinking milk la.

kobe8byrant: word of concern oni. calcium + other rejected chemicals. btw, i read that drinking milk doesn't increase chance of getting kidney stone, inversely, it reduce them. wonder how true it is.

cheezzzz: brand? 3.5 quite cheap. did u buy dozens?

This post has been edited by Invince_Z: May 4 2010, 10:47 PM

dutch lady.when they have promo liddat they limit 2 L per person. so call ur entire family help u buy like 2 dozens hahaha. cuz can keep for 1 yr + ma UHT

This post has been edited by cheezzzz: May 4 2010, 10:47 PM

bleh, 2 dozen not enuff lah. can tahan for 6 days oni. plus others sure want their share too. bring entire village/taman better.

so..it's random brand lah.

ahhaha. im lookin for milk wholesalers too, well used to. why not try milk powder if u plan to do long term? or just do LOMAD first.. see hows the gains.. then decide from there.. i went LOMAD for a month, now trying to eat more eggs, oats and meat

wholesaler...i think at my place got lah. those at jabatan haiwan/veterinar. they collect milk from farmers. can ask them.

are u serious? leme noe if u got any news on this will ya?

Where are you located?

cheezzzz: sure gone there 2 years back. if i got any chance to go there, i'll drop here some news. bu it ain't a promise. dont get ur hope too high plus...u in kl, i'm at kt

Majinity: kuala terengganu. i guess, im too far from cheezzzz. u not sure. probably far too.

Will try this out. Have been drinking about 1000 calories / 50 g protein of milk for four days now to supplement my diet. Plan to go for it for about a month (a gallon a day seems a little too unrealistic for me to achieve). The gas is bad! lol.

Far also, I'm in Shah Alam.

buy powder lah..much more cheaper...but u have to drink it warm...or else it will be very puke triggering...

as for my experience, i gomad for 3 weeks, then 3 cups of milk per day till now (4th month)...gomad-ing for more than a month is crazy...i shit like nobody's business thx to the lactose intolerance

Lol at the people here who GOMAD but forget the most BASIC principle in bb'ing. If it doesn't work for you, don't do it.

Hey guys,

My friend told me that there's a brand of milk powder called 'Ensure' which is lactose free. Apparently its sold at major supermarkets. I'm gonna look for it.

So far pretty satisfied with the results. Gained 0.7 kg in one week by +1000 calories a day. Though I only plan to continue for a month, and would then reduce my milk intake by half (3 glasses).

I remember doing this thing once. Where I did 3litres on the first day.
Didn't take it slow. My shit was white and watery lol.

But after that, I got used to it. But now.. cbf doing this :\

Tried GOMAD and I went mad..

Heh... I got this:-
