If you are new here and expecting a quick fix to gain weight fast, then you are in the wrong place. On this page you will learn how to REALLY gain weight and why you are wasting money on weight gain pills!

It’s no secret that in order to gain weight you need to consume extra calories, more calories then what your body needs. Eating a surplus number of calories is fundamental to weight gain. What manufacturers of weight gain pills claim is their products will increase your appetite so you will eat more and gain weight. Sounds easy enough, right? Wrong! Sure, you definitely need to eat more if you expect to gain weight, but what they DON’T let you know is you don’t need expensive supplements or weight gain pills to increase your appetite.

In most effective weight training programs you will naturally feel more energized and want to eat more. You hear it all the time from beginner exercisers. Your body will naturally demand nutrients to repair and build new muscle tissue. The increased appetite you get from exercising is actually a really good sign your working out efficiently. It means your metabolic rate is going up.

You definitely don’t need pills or powders if all you wish to achieve is an increase in appetite. So why would advertisers lie to you like this? To get your money! The problem with the fitness industry is companies see the HUGE amount of available customers who have a problem. Advertisers know that we’re looking for the fast fix, the easy way to gain weight. They also know that many of us don’t understand nutrition, or how the human body works, so they try to sell us a theory. Do you see the incentive to mislead you?

Don’t be a sucker! Don’t waste your heard earned money on expensive weight gain pills which are nothing more then a multi-vitamin just because you don’t want to spend the time on training and proper nutrition. Not only will you be disappointed with the results, but it’s money you could have spent of real food.

In addition to bogus claims such as “increasing appetite” and “slowing down metabolism” another way companies try and appeal to the weight gain crowd is by including a protein source as one of the ingredients in their weight gain pills. Its common knowledge that protein is one of the building blocks of muscle, but as already mentioned, advertisers know that many of us don’t understand nutrition. The amount of protein included in weight gain pills is so negligible it’s not even worth mentioning. It’s just marketing hype to say they include protein.

Did you know that you should eat 1.2 grams of protein per pound of body weight each day when on a mass training program. So if you were a 125lbs male you would want to consume roughly 150 grams of protein each day. Weight gain pills don’t even contain 1% of the protein requirements you would need.

In summary, there are no shortcuts to gaining weight. It requires discipline, consistency, hard work and an effective weight gain program. Weight training is so good for you, you’ll feel so much better – and exercise will actually increase your appetite. You don’t need to rely on appetite inducing pills to make you feel hungry so you can eat enough to gain weight.
