It's important to note that he did not rely on junk food or protein supplements to gain weight.
Exercise
To complement his diet, u/Holyhermit2 started doing strength training exercises three times a week. He did compound exercises like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and rows. These exercises help build muscle mass and strength. He also did some cardio exercises like cycling and running to improve his endurance.
Consistency
One of the keys to u/Holyhermit2's success was his consistency. He maintained his healthy diet and exercise routine every day for two months. He also kept track of his progress by taking weekly photos and measurements. He did not expect to see drastic changes overnight, but he knew that every small effort counts.
Conclusion
If you want to gain weight in a healthy way like u/Holyhermit2, you need to focus on increasing your caloric intake, eating wholesome foods, doing strength training exercises, and being consistent. Keep in mind that gaining weight is a journey, not a destination. It takes time, effort, and patience to see results. Give it a try and see the difference yourself.
