And I owe it to BB.com bc of all the articles I read- started taking 3 protein shakes a day, went through about a can of peanut butter a week and 3 cans of tuna and 2 chicken breasts a day ...
After 9 months I put on 45 lbs in body weight and about 60 lbs on bench press, as well as a bit of a belly
(I wanted to gain after getting sick for 4 weeks and losing 20 lbs) Once I got up to 205 lbs, and had a horrible blood work up, full of high cholesterol and sugar...
4 weeks, -17 lbs later, and almost 5 months of no fast food, I did it - by substituting my lunches with vegetables and fruit, giving up any form of junk food and fast food (except the occasional going out), and eating smaller portions and drinking lots of coffee. I also did more sets and reps for each workout and made sure I never missed a workout such as during a busy week at work or exams.
By doing that, I cut my calorie in take by about 300-600 a day depending on what I ate (still taking protein shakes), and I did cardio 4-5 times a week (row machine for 20 minutes). I'm pretty proud and just wanted to share my progress.
