Omfg Weight Emergency

[SexinEar]

I have no idea whats wrong with me. I recelentely got really sick for 2 days with vomiting etc and I dropped 5 POUNDS. Over the days after I was sick I dropped even more weight. I went from about 118lbs to 111lbs right now. I once had a goal of getting to 140lbs but I can't even stay at fu<king 118lbs. I lost everything, weight, muscle, everything. I need to get on track PRONTO like as if my life depended on it.

Problems:

1. I got no appetite
2. I need a good bulking plan
3. I need results now, bc I'M EVEN SKINNIER THEN BEFORE
4. I can't gain weight for my life

with that said, i need a plan and i need a way to get an appetite
thanks X 1000000

Appetite? You don't need an appetite, you need to eat.

 

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Stop getting sick. Eat nutritious foods that will boost your immune system. Also, don't rush it. The body can process so much food at one time, you don't want to get sick again.

Want an appetite workout! Want to add muscle workout! How:??? Go to the gym, what exercises? these:

Squats
Deadlifts
Chest
Shoulder Press
Barbell Rows
Pullups/Chins

Focas on these, try to do each one at least once a week in workouts like so:

1- Chest and Shoulder Press
2- Chins and Barbells Rows
3- Deadlift and squats

These are all compound exercises working mulitple muscles at once, the more fibres that you work out in one exercise the more growth hormone is released at night, provided of coarse you work out right adding muscle will be no prob.

Work with proper from and intensity doing 3 work sets of each, i.e. for chest you might do 1 warm up with 10 kg and then move on and do 3 work sets which would of 30 kg. OK

As for eating eat healthly, eat protein you will notice that you appetite will naturally increase, there is no need to eat yourself out of house and home unless you want to get fat. If I weighed 140lbs I would want to be all muscle

btw no one is an easy gainer you are not working out right simple, plus you expect to add serious poundage in a short period of time, adding 30lbs will take some time.

114, you better be younger then 16.....

Eat, get a job lifting boxes full of good stuff...you get the point...

do some cardio in the morning before breakfast, after a protein-only meal - this will elevate your metabolism and appetite for the rest of the day.

when eating food, eat the protein first (if possible, like meat and potatoes.. if you're eating a sandwich then don't take the meat out or anything).

the more food you force yourself to eat over time, the more food your body will become accustomed to eating and will 'want' more.

it's just a case of training yourself to do this, if you want it badly enough you'll get it. in your case I would say you can eat fast food quite regularly, after a workout hit up McD's and have 3 double cheeseburgers. your metabolism and cardio should keep the fat off.

you're 118, so get in 250-300g protein every day and about 3000 calories to start with, stuff like eggs and peanut butter are your friends here since they pack so many calories.

I am 16, yea i'm a skinny fu<ker

And thanks everyone for the advice.

 

[spesmilitis]

Eat often if you can't eat a lot. I get full easily, so I eat 8-9 meals a day. I try to eat every 1-3 hours.

better than me, 85-90 lbs at 16. I wasn't 116 till I was almost 20. Im 21 and 133 lbs, was gaining weight at 2 lbs a month for the last 3 monthes, but now probably gonna increase more due to the adjustments i've made recently, thanks to the awesome advice i've been getting on this board.

 

[shydude]

Dem you guys are lucky, some of yoo eat and cant get any weight, when i eat and get fatter, its so gay i gotta run everyday so i dont gain any weight lol... Just eat Mcdonalds lol, its unhealthy food, but wtf..Drink lotsa milk, Cakes, Shakes, Something with calories, eat at night a lot, so when you go to sleep your stomach will be full..Well just eat and eat. watch TV and eat more, in couple years you will be like 300 pounds and you will be very happy, some chiks actually dig guys that are over 300 pounds..

you are most likely dehydrated from your vomiting. drink a few liters of gatorade. the sugar and the salt will promote hydration and a positive energy balance.

It is very easy to lose several pounds if you have severe GI illness (vomiting/runs) or even if you workout for several hours in intense heat.

 

[Throttle]

Road demon has the money advice here. It is VERY easy to get dehydrated with a GI illness, and the only way to fix that is to get a lot of fluid and at least some salt & potassium. Gatorade, etc. will get your salts back up in that emergency, and water can make up the rest of the difference. All of us should be drinking a gallon of water each day anyway, but definitely not all at once. Sound hard? Fill up a 32 oz. Nalgene bottle and empty it twice over the course of the day and you're all set. Working out in the heat? Load up some more, but do it slowly, as it IS possible to overhydrate.

Drinking too much water without eating enough food will throw your electrolytes off balance and could cause hyponutrimia which is even worse. Gatorade will make the symtoms worse because of abundance of simple sugars as opposed to necessary combination of electrolye minerals including chloride, calcium, manganese, B-6 and manganese to name a few.

francisco...I'm open to other suggestions when you can't keep food down--pedialyte? hospital I.V.? something along the lines of this recipe: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_rehydration_therapy#Recipe?

 

[Road Demon]

I agree with F-dA, that hyponatremia (low sodium in blood plasma) is a very significant consideration if you on rehydrate with just water. The most effective rehydration solution has high sodium and carbohydrate, that promotes fluid retention. The other electrolytes are of lesser importance.

I suggested gatorade not as the best choice, but the most available one.

The following drinks all have a a high sodium level (~800mg liter) and use glucose polymer for the primary carbohydrate, so it will be more energy dense than a simple sugar solution: Powerbar endurance, GU20, powerbar recovery (with whey).

Perhaps the best is pacific health endurox: it has high sodium, whey protein, glucose polymer, and has a decent vitamen/mineral profile.

ORT as suggested by throttle is often used for severe GI illness in third world conditions. Diseases like cholera can cause you can lose 10-15 liters per day. It is cheap and very effective. Good find.
