Q. I know you can't be both anabolic and catabolic at the same time, so it's really tough to lose weight and gain muscle at the same time. What is the body's ability to switch states? Could you spend one week gaining muscle, and then one week losing fat? Since eating more raises testosterone levels, wouldn't your "week on" help keep it raised more frequently? Could it work with less time? Or is there a minimum amount of time to spend in each state? What would be the "sweet spot" to switch back and forth between each, especially for beginners who have a lot of muscle to gain, and a lot of fat to lose?

How do I consume enough calories to gain weight?

0 Comments

Q. Is there an efficient way to consume enough calories to cause weight gain? I enjoy a fairly busy lifestyle, so sometimes it's hard to cook dinner or make lunch. I didn't know if you recommended any weight gain supplements as an easy way to put an extra 1000 calories in your diet. Are there any food "tricks" I can use, also?
