After 93 pnds how can I gain healthy weight (muscle)



Recommended Posts

More Protein, less garbage foods, and strength building activities like yoga, kickboxing..etc..I am saying this based on what I don't do. I lost all the weight, but have a skeleton look which looks a lot more better than it feels. Hopefully someone can give some good info here...

I can't do Protein bars or shakes either.. I usually go for beef Jerky, jr hamburgers, Peanut Butter stuff, and Chic fil a has a really good chk salad sandwich that's good for 2 meals that has tons of Protein in it....it's hard getting that in :(

Yeah I will try some protein products from bariatric website..like juices etc cuz Water with protein just can't

thanks ????✔????

Body composition is 100% diet and exercise. If your diet is on point, meaning you are hitting your current Protein and Water goals, then exercise to build is needed. Download a program like Strong Lifts or Jamie Eason's Live Fit. As you do these programs add in one extra serving of protein and water daily. A serving is 20-30 grams of protein.

Lift heavy weight. Most women are scared to lift heavy but that's what it takes to build muscle. My wife is a convert and loves weight training now. Squats, deadlifts, rows, bench press. Strong lifts 5x5 is a good place to start. Give it a Google.

Lift heavier weights and right after your work out you want to eat a meal of Protein and a simple carbohydrate to help transfer the amino acids in the protein into the muscle cells. this is the most critical meal of an active person, directly after work outs as this is when your body is in its anabolic state.( within 30 mins)

I'm a woman and I love lifting heavy. I am doing it now to build more muscle before my surgery. Intermittent fasting also helps. Not sure it works with WLS, but I think I read someone doing IF and weights too.

The only way to build muscle requires the intake of carbohydrates with the Protein. And also try carb cycling. One day higher one day lower. it plays with the insulin levels on your blood and helps promote muscle growth.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
