Not everyone needs GOMAD to gain weight
The Reddit community suggests that GOMAD (Gallon of Milk a Day) is for people who have trouble gaining weight. This user has gained weight and needs to gain the right kind. Natural appetite is enough to gain weight at a slow and controlled manner. GOMAD is not suitable for someone who wants to avoid excessive fat gains.
Drinking milk does not cause lactose intolerance
The commenter who suggested that GOMAD causes lactose intolerance was corrected. Lactose intolerance is genetic or related to small intestine problems, not due to drinking milk. Drinking milk or shakes can be a good way to gain weight.
Nutrient balance is crucial
Drinking a lot of milk may add unwanted calories that cause weight gain, but the nutrients that the body needs for optimal growth may be lacking. GOMAD can make one gain weight in an unhealthy and unbalanced way. The body needs fiber and other vitamins and minerals besides calcium.
Incorporate small amounts of milk instead
The Reddit community suggested incorporating milk into the diet if there is trouble meeting calorie needs. Milk can be used in protein shakes or added to meals as a drink. Drinking a little more milk than usual can help increase calorie intake without the unhealthy aspects of GOMAD.
Conclusion
The Reddit community's comments show that GOMAD (drinking a gallon of milk a day) can be an effective way to gain weight. However, it is not suitable for everyone. People who already gained weight but need to gain more of the right kind can rely on their natural appetite to do so. GOMAD's excessive fat gains are not desirable for those who want to gain weight in a slow and controlled manner. Drinking milk in small amounts can help meet calorie needs without compromising nutrient balance.
