I've heard mixed things about the weight gainers. I'd check with a doctor before using any of them. I've had friends use them that have been successful, but I've also seen guys over do it and they are unhappy with the results.

I'm not sure on how healthy this idea is, but its sold in Health Food stores so it can't be that bad.

But a friend of mine bought some of this Protien Packed bulk building powder that you mix into a thick shake.

That along with some weight training allowed him to slowly and healthily put on some weight.

Hi Joe!!!

Unfortunately I can't say any of us guys around here have gone through your problem. With that in mind most of us will be able to just give you ideas of what may work. You may have already even tried them.

You're obviously going to have to increase your caloric intake. The biggest challenge to that is making them healthy calories. Nuts, Complex Carbs, healthy fats such as olive oil or Avocado.

I'm sure you're looking to build muscle more than anything. Make sure to read articles in the Resource Center such as 6 Essential Variables in Weight Training. Unfortunately there are people who just have a very hard time building bulk. If it's affordable I would definitely recommend talking to a personal trainer and coming up with a routine to help.

Good Luck!!!
