You don't have corn syrup-laden carbonated beverages there? That ought to
get anyone fattened up. Not good for the rest of your body though, it's a
type of chemotherapy in it's own right (for diabetes)
That is a difficult question, Russell! I've never heard anyone say they
were looking to gain wait. Maybe mashed potatoes for dinner and ice-cream
for dessert? I hate to say it but maybe fat is the best way to gain weight
without screwing up your blood sugar horribly (like any carbs will do)
A lot of athletes eat large amounts of protein supplements. If he can
physically exercise maybe trying to add on muscle weight would be
possible? - and more healthy.
