Introduction
Reddit user Thegoodcaptain documents his weight gain journey over 12 days starting on August 11th, 2012. He started at 172 pounds and aimed to gain weight through consuming lots of calories and drinking protein shakes.
The Diet
Thegoodcaptain consumed high calorie and high protein shakes which contributed to his daily calorie intake of roughly 5,500-6,000 calories. He also mentions eating lots of chicken, turkey, beef, and cheeseburgers throughout the day. He tried to consume around 250g-300g of protein per day.
The Results
Unfortunately, Thegoodcaptain does not provide an end weight in his post, so we do not know how much weight he gained by the end of the 12 days. However, he mentions putting on weight and feeling larger after just a few days.
Lessons Learned
Thegoodcaptain's journey shows that it is possible to gain weight quickly through consuming high calorie and high protein shakes along with a diet filled with meats and burgers. However, it is important to note that everyone's body reacts differently to weight gain and it is not recommended to consume such a high amount of calories and protein in a short period of time without consulting a healthcare professional.
Conclusion
Thegoodcaptain's weight gain journey highlights the importance of proper nutrition and tracking intake for those looking to gain weight. It is important to remember that everyone's body reacts differently and that it is best to consult a healthcare professional before drastically changing your diet or exercise routine. Trial and error is key in achieving weight goals and finding what works best for each individual's body.
