  1. 6"2 205 lbs, hey!

    To try to instill some rationality to the thread, I'll point out that the OP's question did NOT say, "I have no trouble consuming lots of food. What are the best and healthiest things to eat?" No, instead he said that he can hardly force himself to eat to maintenance level, much less the...

  2. 6"2 205 lbs, hey!

    So are you agreeing that it is ultimately the amount of calories that makes people fat? Or no? And yes, fruits vary a lot according to their GI; e.g., grapes are much higher than plums. (Meanwhile, whole wheat bread is about the same GI as white bread.) But even considering that a high GI means...

  3. 6"2 205 lbs, hey!

    Well you just switched from saying peanut butter to special low-sugar peanut butter. But no matter. Now, maybe somebody can answer the following: if sugar automatically makes a person fat, then why weren't the Kitavans fat? They ate lots of fruit. Yet their pictures show them as being very lean...

    You think that peanut butter doesn't have any added sugar in it? Go look at a label.

  5. 6"2 205 lbs, hey!

    Soda and cream and whey would be even better. Though I myself haven't had a soda for years.

  6. 6"2 205 lbs, hey!

    So you think that when people can't force themselves to eat any more, then forcing themselves to eat more will magically increase their appetite? Do you really think that the OP posted here without ever having already tried to force himself to eat more? One problem that hard gainers have with...

  7. 6"2 205 lbs, hey!

    Hey, I see the group genius has spoken. So when the OP has said effectively that he can't force himself to eat enough to gain, your reply is that he should force himself. That's just brilliant. Your avatar suits you.

  8. 6"2 205 lbs, hey!

    A. No, you're the one who was making an irrelevant comparison by bringing up the number of calories per gram of carbohydrate - which has nothing to do with the caloric density of food. pointing out that chicken has water etc is when you are realizing the right track. But now you're shifting your...

  9. 6"2 205 lbs, hey!

    I said "high caloric density foods". Comparing calories per gram is entirely irrelevant. Compare 100g of sugar (387 cal) to 100g of chicken breast (114 cal). That's density by weight. Compare a stomach full of cherry pie filling to a stomach full of bread. That's density going by volume. It's...

  10. Mass gainer with loads of calories but no or very little cholesterol .

    Take niacin to try to boost your HDL and compensate for your elevated LDL. If your shake contains lots of saturated fat, then that can contribute to raised LDL (makes your liver produce more even if the shake contains no cholesterol). Alcohol also can raise HDL, but maybe that's not a good...

  11. Seminar: Add 1" To Your Upper Arms In A Single Workout

    I didn't try it, but I'd heard about various incarnations through the years. Initial gains in circumference have to be fluid - there is no way that large amounts of actual muscle or any other tissue on arms can be built that fast. But swelling can easily be that fast. Consequently, nutrition on...

  12. 6"2 205 lbs, hey!

    You can with high caloric density foods, mainly fat and sugar. When you are gaining too much too fast, you'll be putting on fat instead of muscle. The only way to know for sure is to try and see what happens. Bulking is not much related to eating the foods that are typically described as the...

  13. Feedback on Poliquin's article: Top 10 Carb Intake Rules For Optimal Body Composition

    He doesn't know what he's talking about. Sugar actually has a lower GI (around 55) than bread (around 70). Table sugar (sucrose) is medium GI. Does he think that white grapes are lower than purple grapes? Does he think that purple grapes and purple prunes are the same GI? and He doesn't know...

  14. Seminar: Add 1" To Your Upper Arms In A Single Workout

    This would have had more credibility if someone had bothered to take a camcorder to this moneymaking expedition. Also, did you, Rob, verify any of these measurements personally after the first two weeks?
