After 93 pnds how can I gain healthy weight (muscle)



Recommended Posts

More Protein, less garbage foods, and strength building activities like yoga, kickboxing..etc..I am saying this based on what I don't do. I lost all the weight, but have a skeleton look which looks a lot more better than it feels. Hopefully someone can give some good info here...

I can't do Protein bars or shakes either.. I usually go for beef Jerky, jr hamburgers, Peanut Butter stuff, and Chic fil a has a really good chk salad sandwich that's good for 2 meals that has tons of Protein in it....it's hard getting that in :(

Yeah I will try some protein products from bariatric website..like juices etc cuz Water with protein just can't

Body composition is 100% diet and exercise. If your diet is on point, meaning you are hitting your current Protein and Water goals, then exercise to build is needed. Download a program like Strong Lifts or Jamie Eason's Live Fit. As you do these programs add in one extra serving of protein and water daily. A serving is 20-30 grams of protein.

Lift heavy weight. Most women are scared to lift heavy but that's what it takes to build muscle. My wife is a convert and loves weight training now. Squats, deadlifts, rows, bench press. Strong lifts 5x5 is a good place to start. Give it a Google.

Lift heavier weights and right after your work out you want to eat a meal of Protein and a simple carbohydrate to help transfer the amino acids in the protein into the muscle cells. this is the most critical meal of an active person, directly after work outs as this is when your body is in its anabolic state.( within 30 mins)

I'm a woman and I love lifting heavy. I am doing it now to build more muscle before my surgery. Intermittent fasting also helps. Not sure it works with WLS, but I think I read someone doing IF and weights too.

The only way to build muscle requires the intake of carbohydrates with the Protein. And also try carb cycling. One day higher one day lower. it plays with the insulin levels on your blood and helps promote muscle growth.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
