weight gainer

Let's talk about my boy. He used to be skinny. We are so used to that already and I thought it doesn't matter to him. But one day, he told me he wanted to be fatter. I just told him to eat more especially protein-based food. But he's complaining that I don't cook much protein-based food so how is he going to eat more. I tried my best to cater for him. Actually he is a very picky eater too. 

When I was at Bangsar Village recently, I came across a shop that sells GNC products. It has weight gainer 1850. After some recommendation, I bought it at RM126. It's about 2kg. Quiet a big tank of protein powder.

Before I bought it, I called my boy to ask if he would take it. He said OK. He started taking it..Initially he took three cups ie 3 spoonfuls of the powder mixed with a small packet of full cream dutch lady milk. He took it twice a day.

After a week, he has gained 1 kg. Then yesterday, he told me that his heart beats fast. I suppose that 's the side effect of the weight gainer. I told him to stop taking for a few days and see what happen. If it's back to normal, then it's really the side effect. I told him to start on it gradually and not to jump on it eagerly. But he didn't listen. Now he has to listen to what I have to say..

weight gainer to supplement and not as your sole food..

      it's protein based and one can feel full after drinking it. But I told him to take his meals too..

      huh?? weight gainer is supposed to make you have appetite for more food.. whereas those that makes you full are supposed to be weight loose??

      it's just a supplement for more protein as only protein can make one increases in weight.

    yeah, i heard there are side effects having all these supplements.. one that i heard of is something to do with kidney.. so it's advisable not to have it long-term but to stop for few months in between..

    I bought their 3 tubs of powder cheaply during GNC fair. I regretted as too much protein daily caused mucous to form and clogged my whole ENT system. I tried so hard to remove the phlegm and mucous but failed. Even doctors could not help.

  20. Twilight ManOctober 25, 2012 at 4:34 PM

    Like what Sk advised, your son can slow down the consumption for a while. In cease his exercise routine and his body will adjust to the protein powder gradually. Most importantly he needs to exercise daily.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
