Problem 1:
I am thin, find it hard to gain weight and want more muscle.

Approach:
Lift weights and concentrate mainly on eating carbohydrates.

 
     
  Drink enough water!

Most people who are thin tend to have a high metabolism. This means you need more carbohydrates to compensate for your bodies greater need for energy. If your body doesn’t get enough carbohydrates then it will burn muscle tissue to get energy. This is also the reason that you remain thin or will get thinner if you exercise.

This is your basic approach:
A Make sure that every meal you eat contains plenty of high quality carbohydrates (79% carbohydrates, 20% protein, and 1% cold pressed oil). Click here to make healthy food choices from our Nutritional Guide.

B Never go hungry and only eat healthy snacks. Spread your meals throughout the day. Eat six small meals rather than three big ones.

C If your goal is to develop more muscle tissue, lift weights three times a week. Preferably do short and heavy workouts. Make sure that you never train the same muscle group two days running. Consult your Gym for suitable training schedules.

D Remember that getting enough rest (good and deep sleep) is just as important as training. In your case 4 days of rest a week will give better results than a workout every day. This is so that your body will get enough time to recover and develop muscle tissue. Make sure you relax as well as recharge.

E Make sure you take two carbohydrate-rich Fast Food shakes a day. On workout days you can take an extra shake just before working out. We have also added high quality whey-protein to Fast Food so you can develop muscle tissue while you gain weight.

Always keep to your basic approach. On top of this you can choose other supplements to speed up the process. For example:

F Road Runner. An isotonic drink that prevents catabolic breakdown of muscle tissue during exercise; this will give you more energy.

G Power Creatine. For more strength and faster muscle growth.

H Body Evolution. For when you have trained heavily during the day and you want to grow faster while you sleep.

Each body has got its own individual speed at which it grows and you cannot force this growth. So be patient! Gaining 2-3 kilos of dry muscle tissue a month is the maximum that anyone, who has got everything going for them, can achieve and stay healthy.
