GOMAD – To Gain Weight
What is GOMAD? Well, it stands for a Gallon Of Milk A Day. It’s a diet that has been around for a while. The GOMAD diet is one method to gain weight quick. The point is to drink a gallon of whole milk each and everyday to gain weight. Do I recommend trying GOMAD? I do recommend it for some people but certainly not all.
If you are extremely underweight and have a strong desire to put on a lot of weight fast without concern of adding body fat then GOMAD may be a good idea for you. You will gain weight if you do GOMAD properly however a fair amount of that weight will be fat.
If you are looking to gain weight but want to minimize how much fat you put on this is probably not the diet for you. You will want to stick with the diet I outline in my ebook.
How do you do GOMAD properly? Well as I said above you need to drink a gallon of whole milk everyday. This isn’t something that will work if you don’t do it consistently. You may not be able to do this the very first day you start the diet so I would recomend starting with a half gallon the first day, 3/4 of a gallon the second and a full gallon the 3 third and remaining days. It does need to be whole milk because of the saturated fat that whole milk has. This will help in increasing testosterone levels which in turn will help you gain muscle. It also has more calories than other milk which is one of the main points of GOMAD.
The other key is to be sure to continue eating when you’re on this diet. The milk needs to be in addition to your normal foods not a replacement of those foods. Eating a regular amount of food plus drinking a gallon of whole milk gives you the added calories and protein required to gain weight.
If you do try this diet I strongly recomend that you also use a product called Lactaid to take along with all that milk. Lactaid allows you to digest dairy products easier and therefore reduces the bloating, gas or cramping that might otherwise come with drinking all that milk.
I also recommend trying this diet for 2 weeks then taking a week off. During your week off assess your progress and decide whether or not you want to continue for another 1-2 weeks. If you do this diet for more than two weeks you may start to have excesive fat gain and start to experience stomach aches.
I will be sure to provide more details about this diet as well as my own personal results in my ebook (available in February 2012)
