need advice,please

[trader869]

Hello,im new to this site..lost of info,thanx. Reason im here is i need some advice. I excercise regularly(3 times a week). Im 34 yrs old...5 ft 7, and weigh right at 132 lbs. I was always thin, and most times i was at 147 lbs. and healthy as a horse. But recently me and my GF broke up and i lost alot of weight from worrying all the time,not eating....you know the deal. Everything is better now in my life except i cant gain a thing weight wise. I have hypoglycemia, so i have to eat all the time,7 times a day. i dont eat alot at these times but do eat healthy meals(chicken,fish,veggies) and lots of spaghetti. my hypoglycemia is under control as long as i eat right. my doctor asked me to take some weight gainer from GNC, man that stuff bloats the hell outta me and has too much sugar for me. so im not using that anymore. calorie wise i think if i added up right im eating 2100 a day(about) . it feels like im eating enough,so i dont know what else to do. when i was at 140 i tried creatine for a month and gained 7 lbs. but lost that so im thinking water weight. what can i take to help gain muscle back and and make it stay? realistically i want to get to 155(which is what i weighed in high school) i have been taking tribex and arginine thinking it would help keep the muscle i got(which it seems to be doing). Its been 2 months since i started trying to gain my weight back and it seems like its not going anywhere. My weight can fluctuate like 4-5 lbs a day,always has. you guys have any suggestions for supps or anything else that might help......tired of feeling weak and really want my weight back(or more).....thanx for the help in advance guys.

I don't know how to deal with the hypoglycemia, so you would have to ask you doctor if this advice is correct but:

It's all in the diet. If you have trouble gaining weight, and you are working out pretty hard, then you have to eat a lot more. Just over 2000 is not a bulking diet, it may even be less than a maintenece diet. There is a lot of info out there on bulking diets, but the one I prefer is John Berardi's "Massive Eatin'". You may have to tone down his very high calorie suggestions, but the other parts of the diet are great. i would guess, and this may not correct because I do not know everything about you, it seems you would need somewhere around 3000 calories a day, if not more. But do not jump up there right away, do it slowly over a week or so. Berardi suggests a post work out shake of protein and a carb, and this is very helpful. Here is a link to this diet:

there is also an update to this diet on his website plus some other good stuff too.

Get you diet and training down, and then you can start thinking about supplements. This is all just my advice, and especially with your condition, you should ask your doctor about this. Hope it helps.
