I'm 19 years old, 188cm, 56kg. I win! =D

Now, time for me to pore over everything in this thread...this is going to take a while.

haha... depends on your personal preference I'd say. I'll say what I always say to clients/friends, if you're 100% determined to go after your goal, and it is of utmost importance to you, taste of a post-workout shake etc, should never be an issue.

That being said, I've taken this shake before a couple years ago, it's perfectly fine and after a while you get used to it anyway. It's all about the end result, not your tastebuds.

I "prescribe" this shake to people who have issues downing 3K+ or 4K calories per day. So, if adding in 1K extra cals with just drinking something is dependant on taste, maybe gaining the weight isn't as important to the individual

Sorry if I sound like I'm rambling, basically all comes down to what you want now... and what you want/value most

Hey guys, I'm 18 and currently waiting for my SPM result. I have problem in gaining weight too! I'm only 34 kg and about 5 feet >.< (I'm a girl actually) Any gaining weight tips? I think I have fast metabolism rate so that's why I'm having a hard time gaining weight.

How lot is a lot? Can you tell me? Is 3 packs of Maggi Asam Laksa for late night supper is a lot to you?

Haha. Sometimes, late night bing. I know it's damn unhealthy but what to do. Haha

can increase my weight n body?of coz not muscle. can ah?

of coz muscle.. but i just only play badminton and drink protein. so what do u think will increase?

Nope, I would eat my daily meals on time in large portions.
To give an example, I could kill 3 Big Macs set for lunch and then continue eating junk food immediately after the meal.
Best part of all, I ain't even close to average weight... 

And if you bother to google, ginger actually acts as appetite suppressant!

And you asking me to google?!   

recommend me a good mass gainer. im 177cm 63 kg. in 2011 im 58kg hahaha

my friend recommend me iron armour hard mass.

he gained 8 kg in 5 weeks with that product.
he said he will sell me RM200 FOR 6.8kg. maybe i will give a try. he ask me to weight in first before try and tell the result to him.

i used to try herbalife before quite expensive but the effect is not that bad, i gained around 2kg in 1 month + extra energy during morning

thanks for the tips 
i used to tried all above except the olive oil

but i stop doing that  around 6 months ago

so using that mass can really improve my weight? my metabolism quite high. eat banyak mana pun still sama. maybe diff person diff body system


yes 1200 kal per serving? did u recommend me that. i think that mass is easy since its is 1 for all. no need to buy other food separately. 

i use severals product b4 including herbalife. some of them like protein etc etc. i can see some improvement but now i want to try mass/true hass/hard mass

So underweight people should drink mass gainers? If that mass gainers doesn't exist in this world, what would they take? You are giving excuses because you are lazy to make proper changes. What you have in mind is that 'I am an ectomorph, I am an ectomorph' and repeat that each day for few years and suddenly you found out that mass gainers are the answer for your underweight problem.

You are underweight because you under-eat and if you can gain weight by chugging a 1200kcal mass gainers each day, it means that you can also gain the weight by eating a good solid meal. You are just finding excuses and the easiest way and supplements companies are taking advantages on that and to top in more, they put crap in those supplements.

You don't believe me? A forumer here was an ectomorph who weights 43kg and he have what I would say the best body in this forum and he never takes a sip on mass gainers. What's the different between you and him? Refer to top both paragraph.

keyword. You need to eat a lot everytime to gain weight/

That's a good idea but a much better idea would be for every hardgainer to actually spend some of his/her precious time to read the stickies which apparently they don't. So, a one liner reply like mine would be relatively good enough compared to the time they spend reading the sticky 

Nope. Utterly bullshit. Unless you can give us proof that:
1. You've calculated your Daily Calorie Intake correctly.
2. You've consumed adequate food to grow by creating calorie surplus.

yet you still won't grow, I'll trust you. But before that, it's bs.

So the first thing I wanna ask is, is it possible to gain muscles without taking protein shakes?

- I know protein shake has got a lot of debate going on, but the general idea is that once you stop working, the fats sink in once you stop working out. So I'd like to know if there's a way to gain muscles without resorting to protein weights because I did indeed gain 2kg when I first took protein shake, and then stopped after awhile. Which brings me to my next question..

What are good sources of Protein? Usually the good source of protein I know are so damn expensive and I can't be eating protein daily because my financial means don't allow it or that I do not always have protein foods at my home daily. Either that or sometimes I go to places where I can't get protein easily (like dining in a place that does not serve salmon dishes).

I am a green tea drinker, will that affect weight gains as well?
