CytoSport Muscle Milk is also generally thought well of. However, both are expensive and as others have already said, you could do better with a homemade solution. Natural foods are always the best, so keep working on trying to eat better. Good luck! |

Almond milk is where it's at and the homemade version is better than what's on the shelves. |
If you can afford to do so I encourage you to give up the processed garbage and start eating organic whole foods that will encourage proper enzyme development in the body. Fast food, sodas, CRAP. They do nothing but bad for you and have very little nutritional benefit. I honestly haven't been to a fast food restaurant in over five years and never will again. Stay FAR, FAR away from partially hydrogenated soybean oil aka trans fats. It is an evil, synthetic, man-made in a lab omega-9 oil that your body has no idea what to do with because it is unnatural and can't be broken down. This is the one single thing, IMO, that is driving America's obesity level to epidemic proportions. It is in almost EVERYTHING these days, especially fast food. It's what they fry the fries in for crying out loud. |
I'm vegan so I know very well about the issues of trying to put on muscle/weight while having limited sources for protein. |
Mountain Dew? Uhhh....no. |

Have a bite every now and then will surely pump you up. |

For every pound of lean body mass you have on your body, you burn about 7-10 calories an hour just sitting there. And twice that when your heart rate is elevated. The more mass you put on FIRST, the EASIER it is to cut fat and get lean. . |

No offense taken, i do not want meds, ive been down that road before and if you have never experienced it, dont. ... go on any drug related forum and youll quickly find out that more often than not drugs become a band aid for underlying problems and cause more problems in the long run than the good they do, they have their place but can often be just a way of covering up something rather than dealing with it head on. |
you wouldnt believe what a seemingly normal person can be reduced to after taking these meds for a long period of time, very sad. believe me, like i said, i was down that road once before and it was not a pleasant experience when i decided the numerous things i was given werent working. and as far as anorexia go, well, i guess its possible, but i think unlikely. i think that i just let day to day problems and past failures (im very hard on myself and what might not seem like a failure to most is a disaster to me) drag me down and i carry those like a ball and chain around my ankle. |
