+ 4 EATING IS MY GREATEST CHALLENGE
ad
Hey everybody I’m Alex. 32 year old man from Louisiana trying to gain a new and better look for myself. My problem has always been eating. I currently weigh 145 and never been up to 151 before. Never had a big appetite and only eat once a day. I’ve worked out in the past but not since I took on a welding job but I’m trying to make some changes. I want to get in better shape and gain some muscle growth. I’m very skinny right now and it’s been for to long. I’ve never taken any enhancements or anything so I’m new to everything and I’m looking for a direction.

Ya see this is what really irks me, many of us have tried to help you here and given some great advice and you can't even be bothered to respond back to us. If this sort of mentality is what you apply to your training and eating then you will never get anywhere - it just comes across as laziness.
TesTobolinThere has been a lotta valuable info provided in this thread and it should be taken seriously as if anyone follows them they really will succeed. You just have to want it and you have to put the work in as it is work but perservence will pay off immensely. I use a lot of your advice you gave me cpl years ago and it work so well for me still to this day esp now that i do understand what needs to be done there is no shortcuts .If you want it and are willing to do what it takes you will have it 100%
Sadly I noticed this as well. A lot of people took the time to give him advice. Maybe it will help someone else on here...
I have came across a lot of guys in the pass, who where skinny and couldn't make it to the sizes they always wanted to.... Most of them quit after a couple of months.... But those ones who where obsessed with success, where working their asses off in the gym, tucking food down their throats not for pleasure but as a fuel to get all the nutrition and break their metabolism! Bro... Those guys became huge, lean and strong AF. Just keep on moving forward and you can get the result you have never thought you where able to get. Mental capacity is the key!
Bud if you aren't training you simply will not have any kind of appetite if you have a weak one already. I am exactly the same if I don't train, its minimal at best almost anorexic! Lol Some of us just are born this way and its impossible on how to explain it to others how we feel day in and out. Focus on BIG exercises that will make your body ravenous for carbs and protein - Deadlifts (No.1 for appetite stimulation) Squats, Barbell Rows and Bench press are your meat and potatoe to go to. Barbell curls and shoulder press help too but to lesser degrees. Make sure to get 2 meals in your before you train so you have enough energy and power and then after a 50g protein Whey Isolate shake and 50 to 100g carbs such as Dextrose. I guarantee another hour after that you will be dying for some good nutritious food. Then you MUST keep up the training and not get lazy otherwise your appetite will plummet again and so will any gains you make.
That deadlift one I will use thanks.
I walked in a nature trail for an hour yesterday with a 18 month old on my back. That made me hungry.
Press is right only way to increase appetite is to train hard I have the same issue as alot does I imagine I wish like Cutler said if u could just pop a pill each meal how convenient that would be. But eating is a job and requiring hrs of prep cooking ect not to mention the cost if ur gonna eat the right foods, mk677 helps almost to much I just don't like my igf1 so high or I would take it more often. Train hard with the weights and include some strenuous cardio and watch ur appetite explode over night.
AnonMy bad. Minimum bar here is we all wreck it daily on the iron playground.
Another 'thing' that applies to me. I sit on the couch or whatever. I can go on almost no food or sleep, if need be, at 'idle.'
Is that like a woke hibernation or a brain dead coma???
AnonYes.
These waters do not run deep.
Eating is one of my greatest challenges as well , I have never had a big appetite at any point in my life . I suppose I get hungry but I have little desire for food or Cooking or any of it I would take nutrition pills and drink water to get by if I could .
Protein Shakes have been my saving grace while body building . I eat my three regular meals every day Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner .
But in between those meals I drink 3 to 5 Protein shakes depending on my goals .
My Protein Shake Recipe :
1 cup of lactose free 2 % milk
2 scoops of Syntha Six Protein
1 scoop of Green Super-Food
1 cup of instant oatmeal
1 or 2 tsp's of olive oil
Three times a day drink that and I promise you will gain weight .
If you start forcing yourself you will eventually get hungry all of the time. Especially of your lifting. Try drinking your breakfast in the morning. Make your own weight gainer shake with dry oatmeal and a banana in a blender then add whatever taste good. That way you have a head start and you will be hungry two hours later because a liquid breakfast will digest fast.
TesTobolin100% correct mate, thats what i done "MADE MYSELF" eat 6 small pre made meals per day and after a few weeks of doing that. My body was hungry leading up to my scheduled times of eating it to be hungry and ready to eat. Then i gradually upped the calories per meal. It takes time and work but if you put the effort in it really does work out for you. My body is now my clock and knows when its times to eat.
AnonThe hungry all the time comment happened for me. I really noticed it the first trip i went on...when you tend to eat regular meals (and have to pay for all of it...and snacks in between...i hate California.) Even now, going to the mall with daughter or out to an evening event with wife or family. Plans for food during, right before, right after...or both, are a thing.
I dont eat 8 cheeseburgers a sitting, like some of the beasts here, but i eat all the time. If im awake for more than 10m, in the middle of the night too.
IMO, for me, sometimes its a mind fuck, sometimes it's real...but always feeding.
AnonI struggled with, if you dont eat volume its a fail, for a long time. Not necessarilly the case
TesTobolinLike Lindsay Jackson said eat like its your job. I prep my meals religiously something press told me on here few years ago and i live by it. U don't have to have a massive bank balance either i eat out of supermarkets that are cheap. When im working atvmy desk job i will sit and snack whole boiled eggs and ham to give it some taste washed down with whole milk. The like of my indian curries have spaghetti pasta in them instead of ricen more cals ans more carbs ita beautiful too plusbu can do a big pot of it ans keep it and eat away at it as desired i eat all this at my desk in work. I add 3 eggs to my mass gainer shake aswell. Ita not fun all the time that why i treat it like a job i makensure i get 2 to 4 ltrs of water in me thru the day i call it my muscle juice as if u havent fot any in ur muscles your gonna look flacid. Ive been stffing chicken breats with whole oats wrapped in tinfoil and cookes and its quite nice anx easy to get down. Ill have salmon one day to break the monotany of the ao it aint everyday. Ive lods wee menus ive madento keep ticking if anyone likes the sound of this ramble ill be have to help anyone out with my recipes. Juat helping like ive been helped we all need it some times. Before i forget i start my breakfastbwith 2 bagels with peanut butter and Nutella apread over thick on it with a pint of whole milk. Sets me right up forbthe day!!
AnonPSA
JUST LAST WEEK I DISCOVERED peanut butter powder. It's pure ground peanuts without all the shit oil and garbage in peanut butter. Comes in huge jugs. About a tablespoon is 8 grams protein. I put that shit on, and in everything.
TesTobolinJust searched for this and got 360gs of it for cheap!! Itll be with me by Tuesday!! Thanks man
I love pb1, I put in protein shakes.
AnonWho knew?
A girl at the gym told me about it maybe around 7 years ago.
Man these guys have said it, also yes, eating when you don't feel hungry is tough.. Maybe start off with smaller portions multiple times a day to get used to eating more. That's how I did it, I wouldn't eat as much at every meal or when I did, kind of leaving myself not hungry but not completely full either. If that makes sense, worked for me to get past eating only once a day. Good luck
AnonEat like it's your job. Get your head around the shit you're putting in your mouth makes muscle! Good luck
When I was trying to get big and didn’t have a big appetite, I set alarms to remind me and then I just drank my calories. It’s hard to chew and chew when you don’t feel hunger.
AnonYep...full meal straight into the Vitamix.
Dude I was in the same boat as you in my early 20's. I was 150lbs until one day I looked in the mirror and saw how skinny I looked. My friend got me started lifting again and talked to me about nutrition. I ate stuff like hamburger and beans mixed together, frozen fish fillets and box macaroni and cheese. You don't have to be fancy you just have to get those calories in on a reg basis. Eat things you enjoy, cheese it up and gravy it up. Drink a glass or two of whole milk with every meal and between meals. I promise you if you are lifting hard and eating you will be amazed by your gains. I literally gained 20lbs of muscle in 3 to 4 months. I did not try any AAS until I was in my mid 40's. Not to sound arrogant but people actually stop me on the street and shake my hand asking me how many days a week do I work out.
Anavar (Oxandrolone) is prescribed for appetite stimulation and weight gain after surgery, severe trauma and infections.
Never EVER heard of that one before.
https://www.uofmhealth.org/health-library/d00566a1
I believe those basically were the reasons it was developed. Aids patients used it especially.
The topic we are discussing is eating more - where does it say it increases appetite as I've always found it does the exact opposite.
Me as well, Anavar last time I have used it was a few years back, but from what I remember it made me less hungry.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11103637/
It is very possible that super high doses outside of it's original intent might have other findings.
That link doesn't open anything for me, Anadrol was created to restore appetite in ill people but in reality it doesn't, it kills it.

Try this one then, the steriod was not developed for meatheads. It was developed for actual medical conditions.
RustyhookerAbacar doesnt ever boost appetite sir
What you have to say about steroids is of no interest to me.
Don't bother starting to follow me round the site either with your little group.
Dont flatter yourself, I was basically coming to the aid of member that your comment, in my opinion was a bit off. I know we are very different, but I'm not much on rude behavior or people bullying others.
If your still butt hurt over my comments trying to help Sega, that's on you. You unfriended me, I dont know why exactly. But I tried to be an adult and tried to befriend you. NOPE!
I'm here to be a positive influence on decent people. I dont like rude, selfrightous bullying.
You are one of the Rudest, most Arrogant & shitty people on this site and have been ever since you joined. All I've seen you do since day one is suck up to the biggest bullies on here, people who you see as the most powerful. Rather than be your own person you just side and agree with those you think will protect you - its pathetic.
Whilst we are at it, if you are going to bitch about me in PM to other members try doing it with the ones who I'm not good pals with. I've seen what you've said to others about me in PM's regarding the Segakid fiasco who is now actually banned for his actions. You are damned right I unfriended you because you stuck up for someone like that. I see you went extremely quiet when he got banned. Honestly why would I accept your FR when you were slagging me off at exactly the same time! 2 Faced ....
I never see you saying anything positive to other people, normally you are talking down to people as you seem to think running a few mild cycles here and there makes you some sort of expert on steroids.
Your a sweet heart for sure, your read on me is waaaay off. I'm actually a happy go lucky person with a positive attitude, I'll fucking help anybody anyway I can. Hell the op in this thread topic reached out to me first tbh. Hey, your opinion of me is yours.
Yes, I reached out to Molin yes, BFD. I didn't understand your anger. I still dont understand stand it. Dude. your nuts I guess. I stuck up for a member(Sega), not that I'm buddies with him but because I know he has posted about his autistic kids( real problems not like this shit!) and problems in the past. I was trying to be a positive person. I didnt even know he was banned until your angry ass just told me, lol. I tried to refriend you, because I'm the exact opposite of how you described me.
Me being a a novice, yep, never denied it. I always say it, I'm pretty fucking dialed in on trt and what I'm after and what I do. I post my pictures, all blood work, try to give good reviews,
and anything I can do to help this board. I only offer advice where I feel my place. It's a shame your too hot headed to see it.
Ps, please tell me my group, I'm really dumbfounded with that shit. I like Greg( funny as hell), Pale( takes some time), Molin(a real dude, I respect him alot), Shredd( pretty solid guy, real), tbone69( extremely knowledgeable and funny as hell. Maybe one of the most underrated memebers), Rusty( I respect him, but we are different), trash( real solid dude). Is this my group??
I would class you as anything but a happy go lucky person with a positive attitude - If you were I would have got on with you instantly but I've always had bad vibes about you. I'm sure you think you come across this way but I assure you don't.
Very clever final paragraph also that you got in there - I see exactly what you tried to do there even though you probably think others are too dumb to spot your tactics ;-)
Also what has Segakids kids got to do with him Ripping off a source? Stop trying to use diversion tactics.
Press, you not having good vibes about me, I get it. I'm old enough and worked with shit tons of people and my personality doesnt always click with everyone. I probably have a touch of aspergers or something( that's what my wife says). I'm not scared of confrontation, I'm outspoken, im honest as fuck, transparent, highly educated, and got fucked up sense of humor. I'd say maybe 1 in 10 people just cant stand me. That's fine.
But, I do guarantee it, once you get to know me I'm a heartfelt real person.
Peace out!
I have no idea what your talking about????? Your giving waaay me more credit than I deserve. Greg is funny as hell though!
Are you unable to fight your own battles? Trying to involve other people I see.
Go do some push ups or something halsey.
Actually, I hit a new pr on hang cleans yesterday, 245lbs.
AnonI didnt see my name, but that's 'whatever.' LOL
Come on brothers, we're all pulling the rope the same way.
PEACE
Lmao, I thought about it, but got tired of typing.
No I agree, your right, I'm done being a turd.
Your a solid funny ass dude too, for sure!
Peace
RustyhookerIt kills my appetite and so far cant name a single person who got appetite boost.
Rustyhookernever taken any enhancements
Dont start then now. Eat or be happy where youre at

May want to look into GHRP-6. I've had several buddies say that it has helped them get the extra calories in during a bulk when they just didn't feel like eating anymore.
I know a couple of people that hit thc for the munchies to help them appetite.
