TweetNone. All commerical gainers are a joke. They are loaded with maltodextrin, a simple carb that will give you type 2 diabetes if you arent careful (ok, its harder than that to get, but you know what Im saying).... so I suggest making your own, high calorie, high protein, moderate carb moderate fat homemade weight gainer. Very cheap and tastes awesome, try this:


15oz Milk
2 scoops whey powder
2 scoops natural peanut butter
2 tablespoons flax oil
1/3 cup crushed oatmeal
1 banana (if you'd like)

*if using vanilla protein powder, add natural vanilla extract for a better taste.

If you want more complex carbs, add more oatmeal, if you want it slower digesting, add cottage cheese. Give it a try...

Well Im hesistant to list the macronutrient breakdown and overall calories because look at how many variables there are. Depends on what brand of each ingredient you use. Mine is generally around 650 calories.


And yes, too much sugar and the improper times, spiking your insulin levels can lead to diabetes.
