Hey, I'm new to this forum and I just had an important question about a new product that I'm trying out. It's called Elite Mega Mass, which I got from GNC. I've been recently taking it and I mix it with milk (approx 2.5 scoops). After maybe 5hrs I get the "runz" and I'm pretty sure this is not suppose to be happening so I was wondering what am i doing wrong? Thanks in advance for all the help.

MAybe your body just doesn't agree with it. You might want to try taking it with something other than milk or just stop taking it. I'm assuming you're not lactose intolerant.

I doubt changing the dosage will do anything, switch products I would say.

You're probably still a teenager 3Rotor, right. You can eassily gain weight by modifying your diet and increasing the number of meals you eat a day. Once you stop taking the weight gainer, you will lose the mass you gained if you just added the weight gainer to your regular diet. Out moderator bb1fit gave a recipe for a homemade weight gainer if you really want to take one. I forgot what post it was in but the ingredients in it are oatmeal, whey protein powder, and peanut butter.

I am not familiar with the ingredients in Mega Mass, but many commercial weight gainers are filled with fillers and sugars to add the extra calories. They have to come from somewhere, they don't use whole foods, and there are only so many calories they can get from protein supplements. I sent the "recipe" to you, it is very simple, yet very effective and whole foods with protein supplement added in if you like. You may even add some heavy cream to it, 2-4 tbsp. will do nicely.

Hey, I just went back to GNC and i told them my problem with their product "Elite Mega Mass" and the retailer told me that is absolutely normal. He said, "Your body is taking in as much protein as possible and that is the reason why you have to go to the bathroom so many times." You think that is just BS or is he actually telling the truth?

Absolutely BS. From the ingredients you emailed me, sounds like it is from the fillers and sugars. Maltodextrin is the first ingredient so that means there is more sugar than protein, and plus the fillers. I would give it up and try BB1's recipe.

Add fluids to your consistency. If you like a drink, then add more fluids in the blender. I kind of like a pudding alot, so I will blend some with just enough water and 2 tbsp. of cream, to make pudding consistency, put in the fridge for an hour or so, and then eat. The choice is yours.

How many meals a day do you eat? I used to feel the same way until I started eating 5 meals a day. I started packing on the weigh after that.
