Hummer, do you want to get fat or get muscle? What you are doing now will only lead to getting fat - unhealthy, heart-damaging, life-shortening fat.

If you want to get muscle, it's a slow process. Firstly you need to up your protein intake to around 1.5g per pound of body weight, then up your calories to around 500 over your BMR (if you google BMR there are a few calculators you can use - it's dependent on fitness level, age, weight, height, etc.) Even with all this, you're very unlikely to see more than 2Ib. of lean mass added per month, although beginners might see a sudden surge to start off with.

If you keep your food intake clean, such as lean meat and fish, plenty of vegetables, and low GI carb sources such as brown rice and brown pasta, you'll be a lot more likely to put on muscle with little increase in body fat.

Most importantly, get down the gym. Get your diet right, then lift heavy weights, lots of times. If you're fairly new, I'd recommend a total-body workout, 3 days a week. These consist of around 6 exercises, all compound movements, so they build more muscles than simple isolation movements. I've been using one from a guy called Chad Waterbury for a month or so now, and I'm very happy with my progress so far. If you want me to send you a copy, I can email it over.

In regards to supplements, I'd recommend a low-carb protein shake for after your workouts and as a snack during the day if you find it difficult to eat at regular intervals (every 2-3 hours).

Have a look on the discussion boards at www.menshealth.co.uk for some interesting and helpful articles.

Hummer, I have the same problem! Here's what I did before:

1. Eat every 3 hrs of high protein foods, or at least 6 meals/day. I also eat 1 hour before exercise and immediately within 30 minutes after exercise.

I also take protein shake (Mega Mass 4000), 1 serving a day.

2. Eat at least 1 gram of protein for every pound of your body weight (example: if body weight is 100lbs eat at least 100 grams of protein per meal).

3. Free weights exercises: i did dumbbell exercises Mon-Wed-Thurs. Taebo on Saturdays or sundays

My target weight gain: 1lb/week.

Also do keep in mind that diet (high protein), exercise, and REST plays a vital role if you want to gain weight. These 3 works hand in hand in achieving your goal.

Good luck.

Not sure on vitamins, but they normally have some weight gain powders that you can mix with water before working out - they are supposed to help build lean muscle. I've never had the problem of having to gain weight, but know a number of people that swear by Cyto Gainer or True-Mass if you can find them in Doha. If nothing else you can probably order them from GNC.

if u can find Tien's nutrition tablets. u need some for ur digesting system. they have good herbal capsules.

By Kickin• 23 Jun 2008 17:32

Most GNCs have a number of weight gain products to help you bulk up. I would suggest you keep working out as the muscle weights more than fat.

Stop SMOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stop drinking coffee!

Add healthy calories to breakfast with an extra slice of whole-grain toast and peanut butter.

Mid-morning and afternoon snacks should be nutritious, not junk.

Trail mixes contain healthy nuts, dried fruits and can add healthy calories to your diet.

Don't add calories to your meals by choosing unhealthy fried foods such as french fries, chicken nuggets and fish sticks.

Choose healthy foods such as baked potatoes, baked chicken and fish, just make your portions a bit bigger.

Keep your meals balanced.

One meal should have a healthy protein source such as fish, low fat meat, chicken or legumes plus two or three servings of vegetables.

Green vegetables add lots of vitamins and phytonutrients while starchy potatoes and corn add extra calories.

Drink healthy beverages such as milk and fruit juices to add calories. Don't choose sugary sodas, which only add calories and no nutrition.

Try pharamcies or health food shops, I think theres powder shakes that can help with weight gain...

I wouldnt recommend you eat lots of junk despite gaining weight its not very healthy and can cause other problems..

Seems like you have a very over active metablolism, half your luck..

I am talking about devious and harmful creatures vampires ready to bite, suck, and kill the emotional and psychological wellbeing of their victims.

By Dracula• 23 Jun 2008 14:46

Emotional Vampires may lurk in your office, in your family, and in your circle of friends; perhaps they even share your bed.

Chances are, you know all too many of them.

Bright, talented, and charismatic, they win your trust, your confidence, and your affection--then drain you of your emotional energy.

Take heart as you walk through the darkness, it doesn't have to be that way--the more you know about vampires, the less power they have over you
