Get fat fast!

[Freefaller]

Believe it or not, but with an intensive weight training program and supplemented good healthy diet your skeletal structure can change and "broaden", certainly you muscle density will increase.

TBH this is should be closed under the no medical threads rules - where's a don when you need one?

i neva sked for medical advice simply dietary suggestions on fattening up

 

[platypus]

does your skeleton get bigger is you get fatter?

Yeah, you have to be careful with weight gain, because you can get the ultra rare Diabetes Type 3, or "Inter-skeletal insulin deficiency". If I recall, it's a case of 1 in 500,000 or even rarer. If you get Diabetes T-3, you will die without a skeleton transplant.

So please be careful before you consider frivolous weight gain.

Was reading this last night. If you train regularly you obviously increase the strain on your skeleton; if you manage to reach 10% of the strain required to break the bone then collagenn will be depositied at the stress site which will then mineralise and 'grow' the bone.

Apparently it takes place pretty slowly, and the reverse happens much more quickly when you are inactive.

If you going in for some operation procedure, surely the doctors have told you what you need to do to be ready for the op. They're the people you want to ask about gaining weight, not us.

Just read through this joke of a thread and wondered why no one had suggested that!

As above... ask the people who are doing the 'procedure' as they must surely know! They certainly should if they have suggested you bulk up!

So it doesn't have to be fat?

Muscle weighs more than fat, so you will gain more weight quicker by just working out and eating plenty of fish.

Your body can make better use of it, from an eat-it-to-survive point of view, than fat, and it won't hurt keeping any you don't lose after this mysterious "procedure"

Oh come on, why would muscle be the best option here?
lean mass burns more calories, which is something you probably dont want to be doing on a polar expedition.

Sound about right. The process of bodybuilding (not only owing to the diet and supplements taken) does put a lot of strain on the skeletal structure - certainly the points at which tendons/muscles join to the bones. If you look at ex professional swimmers or rowers who have lost a few stone, will still be broad and retain part of their overdeveloped physiques in the areas they were putting strain on, but in spite of having lost weight they will maintain their developed skeletal structure as their bodies will naturally have higher levels of the required hormones, enzymes, chemicals affecting their body.

I would agree that it does "break down" after a while, but it certainly isn't wholly reversible. Take into consideration as an example, the 60s bodybuilders/mr universe famous men, and look at them now, they are still larger framed than most people would naturally be in their 60s+.

I think it's amazing how our bodies develop/react to our diets, exercise and lifestyles.

Your doctor sucks. At 5'10" and 11 stone you are on the borderline of Ok and Overweight according to the BMI index...

Unless your 'medical reasons' are your planning on starving yourself for a month and dont want to die, then Id be worried about who told you to put on weight.

Most people know that BMI, realistically is a load of crap. It is, and only ever will be a rough approximation. It doesn't cater what so ever for people with "higher than average" muscle or bone density, and as everyone is different you won't get consistent results.

clearly? while he is being a bit shady about the reasons for wanting to, he is asking about it and rejecting silly ideas about just eating complete junk, almost wanting to do it in a healthy way.

 

[Defcon5]

Loads of Carbon Hydrates

That would be carbohydrates I presume?

 

[Le_Petit_Lapin]

Kebab on Chips, smothered in whatever fatty sauce you choose for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner will make you fat in no time.

Surely that's mostly because most of them started bodybuilding/swimming/whatever when they were still adolescents and their bodies were still developing? I know you're right that you can build bone mass through exercise even as an adult, but it's not really to a noticeable degree, and certainly nothing that will make you look like Arnie or whoever.

Ahh this reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend. We were trying to find what food you would eat if you wanted to eat 10k calories from 1 food item only, it had to be one foodstuff only, so a burger or others wouldnt count as bread/burger/salad etc would count as more than 1 item. we figured it had to be both calorific and delicious so chewing a block of lard was no good.

Our conclusion.....

Macadamia nuts
