Weight Gain Program Offers Healthy Hand To “98-Pound Weaklings”
For the many people who canÂ’t gain weight, a new program designed to build muscle healthily, may offer hope.
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 27, 2004
In a culture bombarded by ads, articles and infomercials touting weight-loss diets, workouts and chemicals, one group is often overlooked – people who want (or need) to gain weight. Like the obese, the proverbial 98-pound weakling also suffers from poor self-image, as well as potential health risks.
To help the chronically underweight, fitness consultant Anthony Ellis has developed a sensible program designed to promote muscle growth while minimizing fat gain. Gaining Mass! is a 200-page package comprising step-by-step manuals, workbooks and evaluation tools that teach “hard gainers” how to customize nutrition and exercise regimens that work for them. With more than 60,000 users over 100 countries, Ellis’ program has revived interest in a problem once thought to have died with Charles Atlas’ sand-kicking bullies.
“For many underweight individuals, weight gain is a simple matter of eating more food, more often,” says Ellis. “Couple that with regular resistance training to build muscle instead of fat, and voila! The program really works – without dangerous steroids or untested nutritional supplements. After spending most of my adult life failing to gain weight, I’ve added more than 60 pounds in five years.”
Although a program focusing on proper diet and exercise may sound like nothing new, nearly all such programs are designed exclusively for overweight individuals, and completely ignore the needs of the underweight. Users of Ellis' program learn to:
Structure diets that minimize fat gain while promoting muscle growth Choose between nutritional supplements that work and those that don’t Eat natural foods that enhance testosterone production and overall health Achieve the correct balance between protein, carbohydrates and fats for maximum muscle gain Recognize the “Do’s and Don’ts” of weight training and isolation exercises Monitor and calculate muscle gain and fat loss.
“It can be tough and frustrating at times,” says Ellis. “Members learn that this program is not a magic bullet. If you want more muscle, this program will help, but you must get serious – and make the commitment to stop complaining and do something about it.”
