What Appeton Weight Gain provide is calorie in liquid form, which is the MAIN reason why most underweight people are underweight. They consume less calorie than their body burn hence reason why they are skinny.
For the Appeton Weight Gain (or other similar weight gain product) to work, they need to make sure that Calorie Consume > Calorie Burn by Body.
What you can suggest to your cousin is a fix meal plan for a week.
Put him for a 2000kcal diet plan consist of 5 meals a day. 3 solid meals (1600kcal) + 1 times Appeton Weight gain (400kcal). If he unable to gain weight or losing a lot of weight, bump the calorie intake to 2300kcal. Rinse and repeat until you get desire result.
Appeton Weight Gain is not a magic powder, nor I recommend people to consume it but understanding how small is the appetite for skinny people, it's understandable.
I'm consuming Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass and I've been gymming at the same time for the last 1 month. I have lost the fat around my belly (58kg pre-gym) and have gained some muscles and pecs, but recently I seem to be plateauing (still 58~59kg) in terms of weight.
I still intend to gain at least another 5-10 kgs, should I stop going to the gym and still continue to consume the weight gainer? But that would mean my muscles atrophy.
The thing is, in order to gain bigger muscles, I need to be constantly upping the weights that I lift. So seems to me both my intentions (gain mass & gain muscles) are in conflict with each other
