[dcfc2007]

Im a wirey person 180cm and 75kg which is a good bmi 22 ( iirc ) but im thin in appearance.

i have been using the protein shakes back home in Ireland but they are working but they are quite costly and progress is slow, ill be off to pattaya in the next few weeks and im just wondering is there any weight gain products available in the pharmacies or at supermarkets?

thanks for the help in advance, dc.

If only I had your problem

Try eating a whole pig.

I have a spare 10kg I could give you

[HalfSquat]

Are you working out as well as eating the protein?

I used to be skinny but lifting weights filled me out.

[robblok]

Try to workout with it and you could try to blend oats with milk .. that goes in easy if you drink it and is a lot of calories.

180 cm tall and 75 Kg sounds about right to me, I'm the same height and was down to 61 Kg when I weighed myself 5 days ago !

Probably due to the Hepatitis A, Bronchitis & Delhi Belly I'm getting over.

Because of the Hep A I'm doing it without dairy products, alcohol, red meats and fatty foods.

So think pasta, potatoes, rice and good breads, plus fruit, vegetables, chicken, fish and seafood etc.

Cheers & Good Luck

[transam]

You are in the right place chum, loads of Guiness, it works.

[dcfc2007]

thanks for all the replies, im not self conscious but hey who doesnt want the perfect 'beach body'.

as of monday im starting a strict diet regime and combining it with weight gainers and a workout plan setting a 3 month target weight of 85 kilos with a good build, we will see how it goes.

[chickenslegs]

McDonald's breakfast

KFC lunch

BK dinner

Heineken supper

Works for me

[Richb2004v2]

Protien shakes and the like are expensive in Thailand. Bring your own.

However, I wouldn't be worrying about what you look like when you go to Pattaya. If you have fully functioning limbs, your own hair, your own teeth and you don't look like one of the cast of 'Dads Army' you will be ahead of the majority there.

10 kg muscle.. in 3 months.. even with steriods that will be real hard. Set goals you can reach.

[bifftastic]

have a look in the supermarket, in my local one they have bread, biscuits, potatoes, chocolate, and beer. That should help, works for me and chips, and more beer.
And beer.
Have I mentioned beer?

He didn't say muscle, did he?

BTW, just make sure you employ a bilingual gardener. If anything, I'm confident it will make you look like Mr.Fantastic.

Did I mention that it is cheaper also? (Without the gardener, that is)

[slapout]

Those 'Instant breakfast' packs made by Carnation, mix with milk and icecream in blender. This is a high protein/calorie mix which is much less expensive than the high protein packets sold for weight/muscle gain. Two or three of these along with normal diet each day and you will see weight increase gradually, if you will excerise along the way.

[Forethat]

Seriously, here's what I would do if I was the OP:
1. I would refrain from trying to gain weight by adding fat.
2. Dont eat massive amounts of food three times per day, eat a little less many times each day, preferrably 6-7 times / day or even more.
3. You will want to eat large amounts of protein. Note that this is not going to do you any good unless you actually go to the gym and excercise. And dont just go there and pull a couple of cables, you need to FOCUS.
4. Even though your level of metabolism is unknown, I suggest you go down to they gym and FOCUS when you excercise. The higher the metabolism the better your body will correspond to the increased supply of energy and protein.
5, And here's the magic trick: get hold of a good creatine and start adding it to your protein shakes as a supplement.
The real kicker in the above is the creatine. The creatine will help your body retain water, this is called a volumizer. Remember that you will get no volume effect unless you go to the gym and get some real pump. But trust me, if you have three months and dedicate, you will be able to transform your body. It will not be all muscle, but you will look good and you will feel good. But whatever you do, stay away from food that will only help you gain fat. And go to the gym, go to the gym and go to the gym again. And again. And trust me, the creatine will add that extra volume you're looking for.


Good Luck Mate!
