Weight Gain FASTING

Yes, it is possible to gain weight using FASTING techniques that even the best MMA (mixed martial arts) fighters use right before their big fight.  Here are their goals:

• gain 20lbs. in 4 weeks
• lose 20 lbs. in 5 days
• gain 20 lbs. in 5 days

Are you kidding me, can anyone gain 20lbs in ONE WEEK...it has been done.  Carb loading can make that happen.  Here is an example of their week long regiment:

DAY 1/STRENGTH

• 3 large meals
• high calorie/hi carb

DAY 2/STRENGTH

• 3 large meals
• high calorie/hi carb

DAY 3/CONDITIONING

• 3 moderate meals
• moderate calories/moderate carbs

DAY 4/STRENGTH

• 3 large meals
• high calorie/hi carb

DAY 5/STRENGTH

• 3 large meals
• high calorie/high carb

DAY 6/CONDITIONING

• 3 moderate meals
• moderate calories/moderate carbs

DAY 7/REST

• Full day FAST
• Water/Green Tea/Greens

This is an option and so is frequent eating.  This program would entail very strict carb loads and have to be monitored by a nutrition coach.  Who is this for:

• someone who has a history of monitoring calories/food
• an experienced exerciser
• someone single or no children as that FASTING DAY can take a toll
• an extremely supportive partner
• flexible job/lifestyle
• low lifestyle stress
• wants an athletic look, not to be HUGE

Who it's not for:

• new to diet and exercise
• married and has children
• high performance oriented job
• client facing job
• compete in elite sports/athletics
• excessive lifestyle stressors

Most athletes that follow this program would do so in the off season or just before spring training.
