    Nice. Send me a link when you do? About the same height as me. I lost a crapload of weight over Christmas when I was ill too, trying to break out of Auschwitzmode once and for all.

    if you do this 8,000 calories diet then you will have to go for a poo about 4 times a day i'd imagine,which would be over an hour a day wasted on the loo unless you can poo really quickly.

    Large increases in your calorie intake,could have sexual consequences based on the fact that decreases in your calorie intake lead you to have less sexual dreams,as shown in the above article.

    Haha you're telling me; I'm already 87kg with around 9%bf; trying to clean bulk. You can't imagine the amount of Nandos marinade I go through to keep up with the chicken.

    I have to go to Costco to get 1Litre bottles (£7 which isn't half bad! :awesome:)
    If your photos from January in your profile are anything to go by, you are no where near 9%.

    Why would you want to do this?

    It'll probably just be fat which isn't healthy at all. The best way is to bulk up by eating a bit more protein and carbs and working out.

    I wish this was an April Fools but it's not

    wish me luck, I need to gain 40lbs in around 5 weeks time
    Errr, why do you need to put on 40lb in 5 week. if you want to consume 8000 calories , eat 4 banofee pies or a couple of blocks of lard. Just you let you know, it's probably not very healthy for you, (and even possibly dangerous) to suddenly increase your calorific daily intake by 300-400% so I wouldn't personally try it.

    147lbs and 5'11, maybe even 6'

    i'm too skinny, I need to change that. but first I need to gain some weight, which isn't going too well, although I am consuming a lot more food/drinks since i've been home from uni since my diet isn't small pizzas and Pot Noodles any more.

    OMG, we have so much in common. Im skinny as well. Desperate to gain wait but hardly have time to eat coz of Uni and the workload.

    I think i might be 6" not sure though.

    The problem i have is my arms are so boney and slim i feel embarrassed when I'm with my mates.lol

    Im going to try protein shakes and upper body strengthening in the holidays. Hopefully i can gain lean muscle.

    BTW what isn't going to well for you?

    Taking advantage of the Nuffield take over?

    Whoever pointed out Michael Phelps diet is a bit unrealistic for OP, guessing he's not going to be doing 6 hrs or more of exercise a day, including at least 4 of intense cardio (along with a lot of munchies...).

    There's something wrong with either your diet or how you go to the toilet if it takes you 15 minutes to drop your guts.

    drop your trousers, squat down , let it drop out, wipe, leave. takes less than a minute.

    yup, exactly the same as me

    and I meant the 8000 calories. I mean I am consuming more but not 8000, maybe on the first day I did but i'd say i'm hitting between 5000-6000 calories per day

    Hiyar, I'm trying to gain weight too, have you visited a dietitian? I got calorie shakes put on prescription which helps a little, although I'm still in full-time education so I guess it depends on whether you'd want to pay the charge or not.

    Also, what kinds of things are you eating to make 5000 calories? I usually go for 3000 because I wouldn't be able to manage anymore, when I'm not as active over the holidays I find my appetite isn't as big

    But yep, I'm about 5'8 and 110lb and want to gain about 20lbs before summer.

    I actually normally take 20 minutes because how can you get your poo out so fast and wipe it up so fast?I do only have a poo once every 2 days though-maybe that has an effect?

    So you leave 6 meals worth of stuff cooped up there, sticking to the walls of your colon rotting away while your colon absorbs every morsel of moisture left in there making it rock hard and difficult to move?
    forget diet or correct pooping technique, you don't even poop enough!
    you should go at LEAST once a day, preferably once for every meal you have (and if you go any more than once for every meal you'e not emptying right)

    Icky Subject - other readers skip this if eating!

    as to how i go so fast, i go naturally, squatting rather than sitting, so the puborectalis muscle relaxes fully and opens up the anal canal fully compared to the choked position it's in while sitting, which also positions the anal canal so that it goes straight down and lets gravity do some of the work, meanwhile the abdomen naturally pushes downwards while squatting to squeeze the contents of the colon downwards and outwards.
    and being fully open like that means waste tends to just drop out and not stick around the edge of the exit, which makes cleaning a lot easier, often i wipe only to find i just wasted a bit of toilet paper (nothing to wipe)

    What? You serious? I **** like twice a day, sometimes up to four depending on how much fibre and veg I've ate!

    Need to start eating more fibre mate!
