i'm a guy..dunno wat to do..

Have you tried. . . eating more and weight training?

Food + more food + exercise + genetics + time = growth.

how old are u?

the faster way that i know and proven, eat 6 times per day, and make sure you eat rice 1 and half hour before you exercise. Do the deadlift, squat, bench press, pull-up and bent-over row. I gurantee your weight will shoot up in 1 month time or else you do it in the inappropriate way.

How's fasting affecting your gains bro?

I didnt eat that cottage cheese, taste terrible ...I have not went to the gym since fasting month started...and I have been checking my weight throughout the fasting month....so far, not much difference, Maybe 1 kg less. I'm still kind off like around 60-62kg like before...depends on when I weight myself...cuz sometimes got food inside stomach...thats why heavier, I usually weight myself after I crap or during the evening...that extra 1kg i had before also, maybe because I have more water in my body during normal days. About 2 weeks + a few days left before fasting ends, then I can get back to my workouts

welcome to da club bro.....
hahaha...
lets gain weights together


Chow.

Do like eXtreme makeover, full of fatty food on the table

i also got this kind of problem
i notice that even i eat 6 meal a day (when in PLKN)
my appearance is almost same...

it juz like my stomach "grow" only (from 27 to 29)
but when see my hand... you wont believe i hv 29 inches waist...

my BMI also abit...... not ideal...
even i eat more also useless...
although i eat many vege, less meat
but my fren also eat like that!!!
why he didnt hv this kind of problem??

u shud becareful what u eat to increase weight. what u want is muscle mass and not fats right? don't go eat 6 meals a day with all the cheese etc and not work out. end of the day, u'll gain too much body fat which is not good, nobody wants too much fats. all u need to do is head to the nearest gym, go pump some iron, and make sure u consume 1gm of protein for every pound of body weight u have. so 46kg x 2.2 = 101 pounds. take 101 pounds of protein a day, together with weight training. u'll gain muscle mass. and not fat. therefore, u'll have a pumped up body along with a good BMI. ur calorie intake has to increase also as u work out more. the bigger the muscle, the more calorie u need to maintain it. in short, get a good dose of calorie and protein intake, and workout hard.

i doubt u'll be able to get 101 grams of protein a day just from normal food intake, so u might wanna invest in supplements like ON whey proteins and Muscle Tech's Cell Tech creatine. they might be costly though.

wtf??
101 pounds??

but anyway, thx...
maybe i take less iron for my body...
but anyway, got other way to take protein exclude meat??

opps.....typo error....i means 101 gram of protein. 1 gram of protein for every pound of body weight. so ur 101 pounds(46kg) right? so take 101 grams of protein lor. ermmm....u can take tau fu, eggs, soy milk, etc etc. if u take supplements then its whey protein lor, filtered proteins.

u can read up more on whey proteins at the above link

I think genes also partly responsible
my neighbour eat less than me, mostly same kinds of food
but he's taller & heavier

you maybe right...becoz my brother also like that...
but my sister is "terbalik"...

u eat six times a day. U muz eat less in order to lower ur metabolism rate. It is ok to eat six meals but make sure it is oily or full of calories lorr.

Who are you calling stupid?

When you call someone stupid, be sure to implicate them by name or their post via quotes, its misleading when you miss those points.

eh... ur point is very arguable.

is possible to check for level of growth hormone in hospital? low level of growth hormone may be due to thyroid problem or insufficient in certain nutrient.

i mean stupid not pointing to any1, i say stupid juz simply say onli. Sooryyy to be offensive.better edit that post later

Eat less to lower metabolism?? at least from wat i know, it is true. our body is made to survive. when u eat less, the body will use less energy as wat happens when u are having starvation. U GUYS MIGHT NOTICE too when we eat too much we will feel hot. then energy in the food is used in a higher rate-higher meta rate

This post has been edited by simyan: Oct 12 2006, 05:07 PM

Maybe can be checked by the pathology lab in any hospital gua but i dunno. Growth hormone promotes height increse, size increase, and etc

Hmm... My height and my weight ard 50-52kg. So wat is my BMI?

BMI is counted by......
(ur weight in kg) / ((ur height in Meter)^2)
like that also dunno??
i assume that you are 51kg

then ur BMI will be
51 / (1.69^2) = 17.85
it is less than 18.5
it mean that you are underweight...this thread may help you...

This post has been edited by tan_pang: Oct 12 2006, 10:47 PM

I don't get that, I just feel bloated when over eating, could it be that you just feel hot because you're eating hot/warm foods which increase your body temp?
Also, i would think having a higher metabolic rate would be an advantage whether you're looking to cut or bulk, no?

Eat,eat,eat then until vomit then continue eating,eating,eating,eating..Heard from my friends..Dunno true and not..

What kind of advice is that? If you vomit the food you ate, what's the point?

I think wat he meant is eat until u cant eat anymore. It's not like really eat till u vomit and eat again...

http://www.t-nation.com/readTopic.do?id=459839

someone posted this some time back .......

i hope the owner of this thread don mind, i use his thread to ask question, as my question may be the same topic..

ok, here goes my question:

i never do workout before. also never go to gym..
so, i need help from expertise here...
if i wanna gain my weight, what kind of discipline shud i do when i workout..
if u guys don mind, plz share with me details of the disciline
e.g : name of the equipment?, for how long?

TQ.

eating McDonald everyday will increase ur weight i guess

I thought this is the Health & Fitness forum, not the Binge & Fatness forum....

Ooopss... den take protein shake... a lot of dem..

take lots of carbs lor... thats all i know...

what is carb actually?
from where we can get carb?

Tq.

rice, noodles, bread...

carb is carbohydrate larr. Take oily food so u will get fatter haha. Logically lerr u think urself.

Carbs u take if not used will be converted into glicogens by our liver, excessive carbs will then be converted to fat tissues and stored in adipose. The layer under your skin

this thread didnt hv any contribution anymore??
i hv eat so much, but also like that

PS: yesterday watch "Guess Guess Guess" in 8tv, see many girl that very thin. They thin like that, but can eat many!!!
so, now i should eat less??
last time when i having fever and lose my appetite...after recover, i notice that i become thinner...

u eat so much?? but what did u eat??

we hav similar threads b4....
thats y not many ppl replying here anymore....
try dig urself few pages back


p/s: oh ya im underweight also~
Chow.

usually i eat vege most
coz my father is vegeterian
and i will follow soon after 21 (maybe)

about weights tranning......
soli, be honest... i dun do it...

how much do u eat?

5-7 times a day?

edit:- typo

This post has been edited by nezzy: Oct 16 2006, 09:01 PM

no 5-7 times la
but very easy to get hungry
and eat more than my fren...

that could still be too little

honestly, if u read the link posted by nezzy, then ur question has been answered perfectly.
most likely u have higher metabolism than others, so u need to commit more effort to gain weight.

1) Maybe you're not getting enough protein?

2) Do some weights or some sort of resistance training like swimming, uphill runs/jogs or maybe even rock climbing.

I can so identify with all the crap i eat, even though i do eat a lot. Too lazy to calculate calories too, which i bet is the case with most of us . Not really looking to gain weight for now, since i'm pretty happy with the 58kg i'm at. Probably will go for it in a year or two, when i need the extra mass for capo

vegetarians....i hav no idea loh how since im carnivor....ahahahah...
i hate vegies~~ luv meat ^^

weights training did help to increase weights and at the same time giv some tone to ur body~~
i dunno lah if u want to gain weights no matter whether it is FAT @ muscle~
but i prefer the 2nd one

Chow.

i eat 2 times of my usual amount when i started body building. around 5-6 meals. 4 of them rice+meat. breakfast i eat eggs and oats and tuna and drink milk.

do some work out. definitely will help u eat more

jones007,
what kind of workout shud we (underweight) ppl do?
advice plz...

i totally zero knowledge in this...
appreciate it a lot.

TQ.

i wanna ask:

is this practise/workout ok and suitable for newbie
>> http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/wotw52.htm

*hehe.. self answered question... LOL..

thx for many people advice!!!

if i juz eat vege and do excercise
will it help??

now i think it is better to do indoor excercise
coz the haze problem...

those are for serious workout people.. u can join some gym and do some normal weight lifting first.. squats and deadlife isn't for starters.. u hurt ur self.. u might get crippled for life.

i suggest the basic ones 1st. bench press, leg press, lateral raise, bicep curl bla bla.. i don remember the names check out the net la..

or ask darklight hte pro

If you eat rice, vegies, fruits and take protein supplements you can gain weight that way.

It's important to plan out your diet and workout routine plan.

What?????? Squats, deadlift and bench press ARE the BASICS!! Lateral raises are iso's.

Everything has a potential to get you crippled for life, even bicep curls. Where'd you get your facts from? I suggest you please edit your post so that people don't get completely wrong advice.

Increase weight??

My weight shooted up from 60 to 64kg, in less than 2 months

I think it is bcause I drink milk (protein) b4 I sleep almost everyday. U can try it.

This is my case too..eat a lot, stomach grows, else did not. I do workout but my achievements aren't that positive..

i drink it every morning...
but same...

i discover that my problem is...the place where it grow are not in hand, it go to my stomach...
need to do more sit-up liao!!!

I drink in the morning & the night. I think the night one is more important to gain weight . Yes, it give me stomach also.

juz for stomach??
i better drink it when at morning......

thx for ur opinion...

same here got belly now
but luckily chest got bigger too
i'll start doing a bit of cardio once my exams end

i mean if u dont have good muscle back up and without correct posture and some one supervising u. u can easily hurt ur self. my uncle is a Consultant Orthopaedic and a trauma surgeon. he have patients who broke their spine during heavy deadlife/squats workout. i'm not saying its bad but it requires some one to supervise u and the correct posture.

Bah Kut Teh, Fried Kuey Teow with extra keropok-babi and supper is all you will ever need.

Are you trying to get him killed?

Usually the idea is to gain healthy weight not to become fat. Common sense.

You must be a very unhealthy guy in such way that pointing ppl eating high cholesterol, fat as well as salty food. This kind of foods you mentioned above not only have a high chance of getting hypertension but also heart attack if persistently eating. If you are not helping, pls stay away from ppl's threat as well as paying high respect to those giving extra hand and treat starter himself.


You may try Appeton weigh gain (milk powder), it's quite effective in putting on weigh but you have to do exercises everyday in order to keep the muscle firm. I think you can see the effects in two weeks time.

Beware of the eating habit, gaining weigh must be in a healthy way instead of of jus eating oily food, it will cos you gaing fat only. Try to eat protein food.

even i want to gain weight
i wont going to do that!!!

it will kill me!!!!!!

My Chest also bcome firmer & bigger, maybe due to the milk. I do lift very light dumbells, but nothing spefically for chest musclenot even push up. But, my stomach increased by at least 0.5"...

Anyway, to gain weight. Milk is the best la, for me at least.

But, I have admit, I delibaretly lose weight/diet for quite a long time. Then, after a while, people called me skinny. Then, I try to gain back some weight. Yes,the weight gaining is just eating & eating rice, but the weight gain stopped at 60 kg & it can not move up.

However, after I just drink milk for 2 months, I gain 4 kg (60==> 64 kg)!! I also take multiminerals & God liver Oil, not sure whetner these supplements contribute to weight gain??

Tonnes of Milk = Appenton weight gain.

ps. Lactorese sensitive person should avoid cow milk.

Not all weight gain on the stomach la, my milk is not low fat one.
So, maybe u can try low fat milk.

Since u r very heath concious, I have to just let u know that there is tonnes of articles that claim milk is bad & millions of articles (mostly Milk manufacturing co) that said it is good!!

Decide ur own!!

i just eat and workout
gained a bit of fat around the belly coz i wasnt watching what i ate
cheat meals a bit too often

Chill my reply was just a joke. I really dont expect him to do it unless he is a no-brainer. I guess LYP.net forumers are really feeling the stress, suddenly, the thread turns so unfriendly.

I didn mean to express myself so unfriendly to u, as long as no more spamming ppl's threat then it's ok.

i think to gain weight just do weights exercise and eat more carbs and protien, and just take supper..and u will be on ur way

eating supper is gaining fat... Balance ur three meals everyday by taking protein foods (eg. eggs, meats, veggies....)

How abt taking protein shakes to increase ur weight?

What is protein shakes?

those food take by bodybuilders

to gain weight u have to eat frequently, 3 meals are just not enough

btw, you can eat supper, but take only light food. For me, I drink a glass of milk.

Drinking a glass of milk is not considered a supper, is it? I think onli solid food can be taken into account.

please take note that, this is a serious talk thread
people in here really need the way to gain weight.
how if someone spam urban legend in here, and other people follow it??
do you mean steroid??
that can build muscle??
but girl take that can have male characteristic...
and i dun think it is safe for male too
coz it will damage the brain...
crab??
i didnt eat crab, and i wont eat it juz becoz the "protein" inside it
i prefer milk...
crab have high asid laktik, which is their "shit"
thats why crab is not good to eat, coz it will make your kidney work harder than usual...

This post has been edited by tan_pang: Oct 19 2006, 02:18 PM

1st of all its not steroids loh.....
it is whey protein.....
google urself for it...

2ndly it is not crab but carbs

soli, coz i get the wrong word

want to ask about the metabolism rate
how we know that it is high or low??

if you sweat easily, it means your metabolism is high.

im not that kind of person...
juz the rate of sweating can let us know our metabolism rate??
got other??

>_> its not just the rate of sweating, its your pulse rate, and how many heartbeats per second (the lower the higher metabolism)

wah this word "metabolism", I think have to go back bio study lar long time nvr touch.. Well, if not mistaken as normal healthy guy should increase the rate of metabolism If you want to lose weight quickly and permanently. If you have any doubt about this and believe it has more to do some miraculous diet then just think about those thousands of super lean bodybuilders who have developed an incredibly fast metabolic rate. Some of these guys try hard to actually GAIN weight and often need to eat huge quantities of food to overcome the rapid metabolism!

The trouble for dieters is many fad diets on the market actually cause the metabolism rate to slow down, and a lowered metabolism is very often the reason weight loss progress grinds to a sudden halt. As weight loss slows a dieter may reduce food intake further, but this still has no affect on progress because the net loss of protein continues to lower the metabolism and the body once again adapts to the low calorie intake. Also attempting exercise in order to increase the metabolism at this stage may actually make it worse.

For me I think if you are the one who can easily gain weigh, you should belong to low rate metabolic (storing energy type), try to imagine there are several animals can hibernate during winter time without eating any food (eg. tortoise, snake....), the purpose is to store energy by lowering the rate of metabolic in order to pass the long period of winter time. In contrary, high metabolic can burn calories easily after taking a lot of high energy food...

Correct me if I have mistake mentioned above...

it's all in the mind. if the mind is not trained to take extra food, you wont gain weight. if you are a heavy smoker and eat less food, you tend not to gain weight as well. so basically, if you can trained your mind like a Hobbit, then chances of gaining weight is higher. eg.1st breakfast, 2nd breakfast, 3rd breakfast, etc. there is also somthing to consider... metabolism, if its high then you may need to eat double your normal intake if not triple to counter. but worry not, metabolism decreases when you aged. if you're young in age, enjoy those wonderful metabolism!! coz once you're in fat category, with the workload of this secular world, there's no time for exercises as well lor.

uhh ohh... another method proven method.. stay home alot, eat while watching TV, play computer games while drinking milk., sleep late, be lazy. within weeks, im sure can see improvement lor.

gaining weight by being lazy, eating junk foods, kinda passive living.

pls suggest healthy ways to gain weight....

there is healthy ways to gain weight?? so far those who gain weight eats abnormally and live abnormally or just grow older while eating the same amount of food and let natural aging with reduced metabolism takes its course.

those who gain healthy, pls share too. :>

I do NOT sweat easily. And my metabolism is super high.

usually thats an indicator for high mets. Depends on person tho.
