Need a weight gain menu

I long ago read Brother Iron, Sister Steel, and have been a fan of Dave’s writings ever since. I have always been a really skinny guy, weighing in at around 130 pounds. I have tried for many years to build muscles and I was flabbergasted when my doctor told me a year ago that I have an under-active thyroid. A friend from the gym recommended I read up on Dr. Mauro Pasquale’s Metabolic Diet plan. Is low carb, high fat the way for me, or do I need those carbs to get some more muscle?

Keep it simple. Go 40, 30, 30 in your food ratios, with protein your golden resource, and nutritious carbs and EFAs your silver and bronze.

The more we read, fuss, balance, wonder, doubt and seek the perfect walk, the more we stumble and mumble. We’re all different (my latest secret), as you have been reminded with notice of your faulty thyroid.

Red meat and milk products are great weight gainers and muscle and power builders.

Menu and training consistency is absolutely critical.

I’m not advertising here; I’m honestly advising. Without Bomber Blend I’d be struggling more than I do to maintain my weight and muscle repair. It’s the perfect food to add here and there at effective times to restore and replenish, energize and build.

Train hard, eat right, relax and rest a lot, be strong and be grateful and happy,

Go… Godspeed… Dave
