Weight Gainer

Re: Weight Gainer

Well if you think that way, then that's your fault. I'm just debating with you over your comment, that's all. Most people would not becuase it's YJ

Anyway, post if you'd like, no one said you don't know anything, just wanted to argue your comment, that is all.

C'Ya

A debate requires facts, so far, you've only shared opinions. While opinions and emperical evidence is useful, facts are much more relevent.

All commerical weight gainers are a joke. Prove this incorrect. Prove why Beverly's mass gainer is not a joke and would be a better choice over something made at home.

I think that reason is bogus as well, it's mostly other reasons why you don't post here.

Oh yea? And what would those be?

I agree with YellowJacket..

I love Beverly products and feel they are worth the high tarrif, but the best weight gainer out there is still a weight gainer...and I consider weight gainers and protein bars all JUNK!

One double scoop serving of Beverly Mass Maker contains 40 grams protein, and 86 grams carbs, but only lists 4 of those gms carbs as sugar. The rest are simply maltodextrin. Malto is 130 on the GI scale. It's considered a complex carb but has a higher spike than Dextrose, and acts just like sugar in the body.

The sugars in a weight-gainer far outweigh the protein, even in Mass Maker and there are way too many high gi carbs to make it even a viable post-workout protein.

All in all the nutrition breakdown is terrible no matter what goal you want. Sorry if its harsh but I see too many people following this type of nutrition and it will get you bigger, all over.

All food barring post-workout should be of some nutritional value. Maltodextrin and rice extract provide nothing more than a rollercoaster ride of fluctuating glucose levels. If you don't want to make your own nutritious gainer, (and YJ has an excellent recipe for one) just eat a lot of high quality whole food carbs and the weight will come.

Re: Weight Gainer

Sorry Rado but YJ & Benz are correct. If you want to use a high gi sugar filled gainer than so be it, but it definitely is not a better choice whether you are talking about price, quality, or health.
