Basic Tips To Make Your Own Weight Gainer

By Ricardo d Argence

As you may already know, weight gainers can be incredibly expensive so if you intend trying to put on a lot of weight in a relatively short time frame, then you should seriously consider making your own weight gainer.

Weight gainers are usually purchased at nutrition and supplement stores. They usually have a picture of a bodybuilder or an arm full of muscle mass. Weight gainers are designed to help you gain a lot of weight so you can have the muscle mass you desire.

The important thing to remember is that not all weight gainers are designed for the same person. For example, a bodybuilder has the weight they want but they are working for more muscle mass to what they already have. If you are really skinny then you need to add meat to the bones first and then the muscle mass.

For those who would like to save some money, you can simply make your own weight gainers because contrary to what you may have heard, it's easy to do. Undoubtedly, the most important thing to remember is protein.

Of course, as you can imagine, some weight gainers are of a superior quality when compared to others. Generally speaking, those weight gainers which contain isolate whey powder are considered to be the best, followed by those containing regular whey powder, and finally in third place, those containing Soy.

One of the very highest quality proteins which you may want to consider adding to your weight gainer, is Casein due to the fact that it's digested slowly.

One of the most critical things you need to pay attention to with regards to weight gainers, is the breakdown of carbohydrates. This is essentially because maltodextrin should be your primary source of carbohydrates due to the fact that it will help to replenish your body's glycogen stores.

Never use a weight gainer that has a large amount of fructose or any type of sugar. You need to be sure the sugar content is as low as possible because it will only cause you to crash hard with fatigue, a headache, and possibly jitters.

One of the most productive things you can do if you want to save money while you're gaining weight, is for you to make your own weight gainers at home because it is not at all difficult to do.

First of all, you need to blend the finest quality maltodextrin with top quality protein, both of which you can purchase from practically any shop that sells nutritional supplements. In fact, you can even get certain things from your local grocery store. Raw oats for example are excellent for mixing with a shake because they encourage to the slow burning of carbohydrates. This of course results in the shake lasting longer and also, you'll be adding more calories to your drink.

Contrary to what you may have heard, it is best to drink weight gainer shakes after you finish with a workout. You can also add more calories to the shake in order to increase the fat level. Because the body digests the shake relatively slowly, nutrients are distributed to the muscles over an extended period of time. In order to increase fat content, you can consider things such as nuts, oils and peanut butter. - 17273
