Introduction

A Reddit user has posted about their impressive weight gain journey, sharing pictures of their progress from 145lbs to 175lbs in just over a year and a half. However, some users doubted the authenticity of the post, leading to a debate about the legitimacy of the gains.

Pushing Through Doubters

The original post by 'OooPieceofCandy' attracted some negative comments with some doubting that they had gained 30lbs of mass in that timeframe. However, the user pushed through and clarified that the pictures were taken over a year and a half and that bulking doesn't necessarily mean only gaining muscle, but can include body fat too. The user also pointed out that they did not post pictures of their legs, which could account for some weight gain.

The Importance of Consistency

One thing that is clear from the user's post is their consistency. They appear to have followed a structured diet and exercise plan to achieve their gains. Consistency is key when it comes to weight gain or weight loss, as it takes time and dedication to see real results. However, it is important to listen to your body and make adjustments as necessary.

Adapting Your Diet and Workout Plan

As the user mentions, bulking doesn't just mean eating everything in sight. It involves adjusting your diet to include more calories and protein to support muscle growth, as well as following a strength training program. However, everyone is different and what works for one person may not work for another. It is important to experiment and adapt your plan until you find what works best for you.

Conclusion

While there may have been some doubts about the authenticity of the user's gains, their dedication and consistency are impressive. Weight gain, just like weight loss, takes time and requires patience and hard work. By following a structured plan and adapting as needed, anyone can achieve their goals. Although this user's journey may not work for everyone, it is important to try things out for themselves and find what works best for them.
