Interesting article on how this 22 year old guy (looks much older, probably due to his condition) tried to gain wait. Note that he used protein shakes to get there, as well as a 6000 + calorie diet.
It's interesting to note the sample items that one would have to take to get 6,000 calories - "Pizza Hut", "Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls", "McDonalds", "Starbucks", and they throw in apples and a cup of celery for good measure. ?????
No mention of healthy fats (Nuts, Olive Oils, Eggs, Fish) or high protein foods other than hamburgers. Sad.
This is the real reason there are so many overweight people walking around: Our reference point for food is McDonalds and Pizza Hut and not Chicken Breass and Nuts.
