Whether you’re male or female (I assume mostly male), the fact that you’re reading this means you’re having a hard time putting on weight. And the only reason you’re having trouble with that, is because you’re not eating enough, plain and simple.

No, don’t tell me you’ve tried eating “lots of food”. It was obviously not enough.  And it’s also obvious that your sense of food quantity is so horribly inaccurate, it makes a the weatherman on channel 5 news seem as if he has psychic powers.

And no, don’t tell me you’ve “tried every supplement under the sun,” because that’s like telling me you’ve banged every prostitute in your city corner and still haven’t managed to find true love. You’re going about this the wrong way.

So if the answer is that you’re not eating enough, the next thing you need to ask yourself is “Why?”

The answer is probably because you physically can’t. Over the years of eating like a bulimic chicken on a diet, you’ve managed to train your body to eat in portion sizes that are smaller than the junk in your trunk. In fact, those two things are probably related somehow, but I’m too lazy to go on PubMed and spend half an hour searching for references.

But fear not you mass challenged individual… because FJ has the solution. (By the way, if you’re a female, then that prostitute metaphor is starting to sound extremely hot right about now. Call me. Or poke me on facebook)

The first thing you need to do is find your base caloric requirements (technically known as BMR). In stupidly simple terms, figure out how many calories a day you need to consume to keep yourself at your current weight without too many fluctuations. You can use the Harris-Benedict formula to get a rough idea but you’ll have to play around with it for a week or two before you land on the answer. The process goes like so:

• Weigh yourself at the start of the week
• Use equation to spit out number
• Eat that many calories for the entire week. Keep workouts constant (if it’s 3 days a week, do no more)
• Weigh yourself at the end of week. If you went up, decrease calories by 200-300/day and try again. If you dropped weight, increase by 500/day and try again
• Rise & Repeat till you find a caloric # which keeps you at a constant weight

Now that you have your base caloric number, add 1000 to this amount and put it aside. This is the amount of food you’ll need to consume PER day to gain some real weight, and we’ll call it your Gainer Caloric Requirement (GCR). This is where my advice stops for most individuals because they get to it. But you are not normal, you cannot eat enough heavy meals to meet such guidelines so we are going to…

Re-Program Your Body To Eat Big

First step is to figure out your Base Intake Threshold (BIT). I made that term up, which means it should now be part of your lexicon. Anyways, finding out your BIT is a fun process because what you do is stuff your face like a fat kid who found a Burger King after getting out of solitary confinement. Then once you can eat no more, you calculate how many calories you took in.

Once you have your BIT, you are now going to eat that amount every meal plus an additional 100-200 liquid calories for the next two weeks. I highly recommend those extra calories come from a protein shake. But do not exceed the GCR value you came up with above. These two numbers will also give you the number of meals to eat on a daily basis.

So for example, let’s say your GCR is 3000 calories.

And your BIT happened to be 800 calories, on which you must add 200 liquid calories. You now have 1000.

GCR / New BIT value = Meals Per Day (3000/1000 = 3)

Get it? Good.

After about 1-2 weeks of adding an additional 200 liquid calories to your BIT, you will switch them to solid calories. So following the example above, you’ll still be taking in 1000, but the extra 200 now will come from say, a chicken breast and a small side… or whatever else you want to throw in your mouth. Once you get used to the 200 calories, add 100 more and repeat the process till you are satisfied with the amount of calories you can devourer in one sitting.

If you’ve never tried to physically expand your eating capabilities, then let me enlighten you on some facts from personal experience:

• It absolutely CAN be done, so don’t knock it till you try it. Or I’ll knock you
• It will NOT be fun for the first week, so get used to being uncomfortably full
• This process can be continued or repeated if you want to increase  your capacity again a few months or years down the road
• At some point, you will reach the limits of how much your stomach can take. It’s like the genetic potential of weight lifting; when you’re a wimpy noob, you can add 5lbs to your bench every week, but eventually even a gain of 2.5lbs is a bitch, and takes months of training.

How/Why Does My Technique Work?

I’ve been honing this method for a while. If you recall in my old, 6 reasons to eat 6 meals a day article, one of the primary reasons I used to eat 6 times/day is because of my eating limitations. I can now eat about 500 extra calories per meal then I was used to before so meal frequency is a non-issue (as it should be for most). I got the idea from studying professional power eaters (yes, there are such people). These guys are flown around the world to take part in eating challenges, and you won’t believe your fucking eyes how much food then can manage to eat. It defies belief. You might even puke thinking about it.

But then I found out one of their main secrets – stomach expansion. One of the best power eaters, known as furiouspete can eat a pound of butter in about 5  minutes. I bet his asshole is so lubricated that gay men everywhere have found a new alternative to Astroglide. But that’s just a guess, see video below for proof and simultaneous disgust of this butter eating feat…

How does he do it? Well for one, he believes he has a little “malfunction” where the signal which tells the brain that you’re full is either weak or doesn’t exist (can’t remember the quote, bite me). While we can’t emulate his defectively awesome brain, what we can emulate is the fact that he drinks like 10-15L of water before the night of a competition to expand his stomach like an oversized water balloon. Then in the morning, after aiding the fire department extinguish flames with his never-ending piss, he is ready to fill that space with whatever amount of food is presented to him.

I don’t see why they use airplanes to drop food rations in third world countries for the needy. Just get Pete to eat a shit load of rice, then stand at the edge of the loading dock and start puking it out, as if it were crop dusting season. The bonus is that the rice will be pre-digested. What? Birds do it, it’s natural… so of course it’ll be good for them, duh!

Back to logic. So in essence, when you use my technique and add the 200 extra liquid calories after you feel extremely full, you are slowly expanding your stomach. But liquid is one sneaky bitch; it has a habit of finding space where there seems to be none, which is why we switch to solid calories later. After weeks of doing this, you’re physical eating capacity will be increased and viola – no more bitching about not being able to gain weight.

MMA fighters and Martial Artists will get ALOT out of this, but that doesn’t mean others cannot use this report effectively. You can EASILY modify the techniques within so that it is beneficial to your sport or activity. Get creative… for some this is a challenge I know.

Why Is Speed Important?

An obvious question that has a slightly more complicated answer. It doesn’t matter whether you play football or are an MMA fighter… anyone with half a brain could tell you that the more power you can deliver in a punch or during a tackle, the more valuable of a player you are. But what do MOST people (guys) tend to focus on when they want to increase power? MASS! GRRR…

Bigger = More Momentum = Stronger Force.

Right on! But,  how long does it take to add say 10lbs of SOLID MUSCLE to your frame? On top of that, is this a feasible option for women? Highly doubt it. As someone who’s helped plenty of people reach their fitness goals, I have no trouble putting together a  mass gain program. Plenty of Flawless Fitness customers have been successful with packing on solid muscle mass… but if power is your ultimate goal, focus on SPEED instead. It’s simple physics! Let’s take a look – math haters… bite your tongue and listen up.

F = m x a

Where F = force, m=mass & a=acceleration. So there are 2 ways to increase your force – either gain weight, or become faster… both will produce tangible results but the good news is that increasing the acceleration of say, a punch is FAR easier to do than to increase the mass of the entire arm! But this is initial force, how about the beloved momentum?

P = m x v

Where P=momentum, m=mass & v=velocity. Again, what do we have here? 2 ways to increase your overall momentum in a tackle or a punch… either increase your size or just become FASTER. There is a reason that a 100gram bullet can throw a man 5 feet back… it’s got MASSIVE amounts of velocity giving it outlandish amounts of momentum.

So in short, it’s time to be a bullet!
