Smoker Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 I was sick of avacados by the time I finished reading what all Tricky can do with them! I have always had problems keeping weight. I would like to hear how long you felt any benefits (days?) from the "diet" I can weigh from 145-158 depending on fat & lifting program. But generally speaking, after prolonged climbing trips I will shrink down to the 145 mark reguardless of input of calories. Folks that have told me I'm "lucky" have never seen me shake at a belay much less led off with me holding the ropes while dancing better than Elvis! Gainers fuel has put on extra lbs for me with out the need to "grease out". But the gained insulation always vanishes after a couple of cold days out.

Dru Posted December 16, 2002 Author Share Posted December 16, 2002 Mmmmm guacamole eggnog. Actually, a friend of mine introduced me to avocado milkshakes & smoothies by ordering us 2 at a Vietnamese restaurant. I though they would be rude, and only started drinking to humor him, but they ROCK. Avocado is the worlds most nutritious fruit. Has both fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins. MMMMMMMMM.

Courtenay Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Gad, I lost a few pounds just reading about some of the disgusting foods people eat!! But to be honest, if you want to put on the pounds, it's better to just eat more (NOT necessarily more fat, y'all!) above and beyond what you expend on a regular basis. Peanut butter is one of the better foods for you -- protein, "good" fats, and (most people feel) good tasting. Just one more clarification: muscle and fat are completely different entities -- they don't "turn into" one another when you're gaining or losing weight. It just APPEARS as though, when you lose weight, it's "turned into muscle" but you had the muscle all along, it was just hidden under layers of fat. When I have clients training for a big climb like Denali, Aconcagua or Everest, I try to have them gain weight by adding as much muscle as possible (so when they start to waste away they still have enough to complete the tasks required while on the mountain and at altitude) but also try to eat as much as possible a month or so prior to going and while on the trip as well. BUT KEEP THE FOODS SENSIBLE and healthy, not a lot of crap -- because the crap won't give you the training performance you want leading up to the climb. Make sense?

Blake Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 There are 3500 Calories in one lb of fat. So you need to eat 500 calories over maintenance to gain one lb in one week. (part of this gain will probably be non-fat as well). IF you try to gain too much too fast it's gets pretty hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 I think I would rather take a 13oz expedition weight capilene top and 11oz bottom than 10lbs of blubber. The blubber is harder to take off when it is hot. Cheaper than having your arteries scraped 20 years from now. At a whopping 148lbs at 5'8", I get cold easy but o well. I have weighed this (plus or minus 2 lbs) for the past 20 years. I could never gain weight when I was trying too. Protein drinks, eating all I wanted and lifting all the time. I am glad I never put it on as I see others my age getting bigger and bigger. Dickdo is running rampant in these parts. ummm.....that's when your gut sticks out farther than your dick do.

marylou Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 I like to eat Cup o' Noodles for breakfast when I'm out for a few days. Way too fattening to eat at home, but full-on power food in the BC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that, i think there are quite a few calories in a cup-o-noodles. On a semi-related note, what do you all do for butter in the BC? a bunch of the camp foods i bring all call for butter in the recipe.

lost_arrow Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 in repsonse to the carrott comments: Low carb stupidity #12 Believing that carrots are fattening because they’re high on the glycemic index and because a popular fad diet book says so. Low carb intelligence Have we lost all vestiges of common sense? With an average carrot clocking in at 31 calories and 7.3 grams of carbs, do you really think that this orange-colored, nutrient-dense, low-calorie, all-natural, straight-out-of-the-ground root vegetable is going to make you fat? (if so, you are in "carbohydrate kindergarten.") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_Simpkins Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 Do the Anti-Atkins diet. Eggs and bacon won't help you pack it on. Try this: Take some bleached processed flour hogi buns, smother the insides with margerine, lay it open on a plate and cover it with Ramen and cheap hot dogs. Tons of cheap bread should do the trick too. Drink non-fat milk, because is has more carbs than whole milk. Potatoes! Lots of them. Suger over fat!

johndavidjr Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 Considering that pure alcohol is used as stove fuel & then recall the definition of a calorie. (Can't use cheese cake to boil your coffee, & though you could maybe make a stove that burns butter, I reckon it would be less efficient & messy.) Also, I hear alcohol isn't readily metabolized. I don't really know what that means, & I don't know what carbo, protein, fat, is/are, but I hear alcohol is none of the above & I know if you're bonking-out from hunger, a few shots of booze won't address that particular problem, yet it can "help" you put on weight.

bigwalling Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Massive Oreo Milkshakes are the key. Half tub ice cream, whole milk, and lots of oreos. But seriously, to put fat on you have to eat tons of junk food and sit on your ass all day. Trust me though eating like that gets old fast. My parents have expensive grocery bills!

Bill_Simpkins Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Actually, I think they put more suger in skim milk. I believe whole milk has less calories. I'm at work, does someone know for sure off hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted June 11, 2004 Author Share Posted June 11, 2004 i dont think they put sugar into milk, except chocolate milk they just remove some of the fat from regular milk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Simpkins Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 I'm an idiot. Whole milk has more calories from fat, but less grams of carbo's per serving than skim milk. Whole milk tastes better though, in my opinion. I sometimes by half gallons of half and half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
