... Read moreEmbarking on a weight gain journey can be both challenging and rewarding. From my personal experience, one of the key factors to successfully gaining weight was focusing on eating nutrient-dense, high-calorie foods consistently throughout the day. I made sure to include plenty of proteins and healthy fats, with shakes often exceeding 1,000 calories to boost my intake without feeling overly full. For example, I combined sources like steak, ground turkey, chicken breast, and salmon which are rich in protein essential for muscle repair and growth. Incorporating healthy fats such as avocados and olive oil helped me increase my calorie consumption healthily. Replacing water with whole milk in canned tuna gave me an extra protein and calorie boost, making meals more satisfying. Carbohydrates played a crucial role too; I focused heavily on rice, potatoes, pasta, granola, and oatmeal during breakfast and other meals to fuel workouts and recovery. Adding natural sweeteners like honey and fruits such as bananas not only improved the taste but provided quick energy and additional nutrients. Consistency was key—eating frequently and making sure every meal included a balance of high-calorie proteins, carbs, and fats helped me steadily gain muscle mass. It's also important to tailor shakes and meal components to your preferences for a sustainable routine. If you’re interested in workout tips that complemented my nutrition plan, just let me know, and I’d be happy to share the exercises that helped me shape my physique. Remember, gaining weight healthily is a gradual process, and combining tailored nutrition with proper training and rest is essential for lasting and effective results.

weight loss journeys are weird🤷🏼‍♀️
So something I find so strange about my weight loss journey is this comparison. There is only around a 5 lbs difference in these photos. The first pic is from two years ago, when I had been in the gym consistently for 6 months. I weighed around 283 lbs then, and now I weigh 288 lbs.its crazy to me

HOW I WENT FROM THAT TO THAT
So short long story I got on depo in 2022 and that was the worst decision of my life. I gained excess weight. I was super small for me before being on it (150) I would always try lazy fitness training until this past August I got in the gym and started consistently going. I stopped again.
