Picking up weight

I have had a headache for a couple of days now, not a full on headache but its there. Is it possible that this could be from the new diet that my body is not use to or might it be something else causing it?

Your new diet might be requiring more water which you are not giving yourself, in all honestly how many glasses a day excluding gym are you drinking

dont think it will to be with the food,maybe just go for a full physical to be safe

00pump is correct,didnt quite think of that...

None

ok there is the problem... u need to be drinking close on 250ml-500ml per meal...

Ok, will start doing that and see how it goes. Every time I walk past the scale I want to get on and check my weight, its like a magnet pulling me towards it. But thanks again for all the help DJ and also 00pump, really appreciate it.

Hey Mike, maybe i miss understood this but what you saying is that you drink NO water during the day?

How the hell do you function man, i would honestly shrivel up and die if i dnt get in at least 1.5 litres during a normal day!!? Water is so important, you gotta chug that shit down in order to maintain a healthy system...

Hahahahaha, yes, i meant no water at all! Its like vegetables, if i have to consume it i will otherwise i dont but from today i will. For today so far i have allready drank 750ml water.
Thanks again for all the help.

Yoh, hectic man! I have acouple of friends that never drink water, they say "well there is liquid in coke and juice" and im like WTF man!

Try, this out. Go past the petrol station and pick up a couple of 1.5l valpre still waters. Challenge yourself to drink the whole thing during the day, before you know it you will be knocking 2 x 1.5l without even thinking about it.

Your body will thanking you!

Cool man, will drink more water a day. Whats the max amount of water one should drink per day?

No real rule of thumb, if you drinking the guideline DJ gave you, you consuming enough for your foods, however if you feel thirsty then you body is telling you, it needs more, don't go drink a coke or even coke zero, go drink water. You can have a coke zero afterwards to have some flavor, but you need water.

a minimum of 2L of water a day is essential....

What is the weight per chicken breast i should eat? There are different sizes and i need to go and stock up now.

Well, that would be included in your diet

In the diet that dj gave me its says 2 chicken breasts. So will that be 2 chicken breast fromthos big packs that you get at pick & pay or the ones from woolworths or checkers etc? The sizes of the chicken breasts differ from store to store.

any size mike,its not a major factor for you here,u are trying to pick up weight so its not an issue to the size of the breast...

So i can just go to pick&pay and get those trays of chicken breasts and just have 2 of those? It does not need to weigh like 250g or 100g? As long as i just eat 2?

rough guess is i would say go 200g just to be safe buddy per meal

Thought id give a little update regarding my progres. I currently weigh 78kg, but i want MORE! My friends and family say they can see a differnce which motivates me more everyday. The thing I have noticed is that each day when i wake up, i have lost about 500g during the evening when i sleep, how the hell does that even happen? Im just sleeping so where does that weight go?

I must say its difficult eating the same food over and over and over but it works and im going to stick with it.

do u go to the loo during sleep? that could be loosing water...lets try this for a while and see what happens.

Hi guys,

This is a diet (freebie) I got from DJ last year. I recently (2 weeks ago) started following it again. I made a couple of tweaks where I am suppose to eat potato I eat pasta. I have only picked up 2kg now and I cant seem to pick up any more and it is starting to piss me off! Is there any suggestion someone has for me or should I rather contact DJ and get a fully custom diet and gym program as I really dont know what to do anymore.

It seems as if my body just does not want to grow anymore as I am also very weak in the gym, strength wise.

Any help will be appreciated.

Contact him.

Add 1 cup of oats and 3 table spoons of honey to your last meal,add more honey to breakfast,increase rice amount to 2 cups per meal,increase oats for breakfast and mid afternoon to 1.5cups of oats.
