About Real Gains

A weight gainer should provide a nutritionally dense blend of the core macronutrients (i.e., protein, carbohydrates and essential fats). It should be low in simple sugars, high in complex carbohydrates and contain high quality proteins such as whey and casein, which provide, respectively, a quick and a sustained release of key amino acids into your body. Fat content should also not be overlooked since added essential fats help to increase the calories of each shake and aid in natural hormone production. Real Gains is a high calorie, low sugar weight gainer that consists of a special blend of protein with a top-notch amino acid profile, complex carbohydrates and essential fatty acids (EFAs). Real Gains takes whey protein (including isolates) and combines it with premium micellar casein, which, rather than being quickly absorbed, provides a steady stream of amino acids into the bloodstream. As a result, you get the best of both worlds. While whey is better at sparking muscle protein synthesis, micellar casein is superior in its ability to prevent catabolism (muscle breakdown), thus making the ideal protein blend. The formula also contains large amounts of complex carbs. Real Gains incorporates a blend of maltodextrin, which is a low DE complex carbohydrate. Maltodextrin contains glucose polymers, which are easier for the body to assimilate and use. Inulin, a special fiber, helps the growth of healthy intestinal flora, which can allow for better nutrient absorption. Finally, Real Gains is loaded

Real Gains is a fast, simple and tasty way to get in additional lean, quality calories and add serious size to your frame. Just one full serving of Real Gains will supply your body with 600+ clean calories and all the protein (50+ grams), complex carbs (80+ grams) and essential fatty acids you need to keep focused, energized, satisfied and, more importantly, growing.

FAQs
Should I use a weight gainer? The first question you should ask yourself is, Is my diet in order? In other words, are you getting enough calories from whole foods? Food is anabolic. It is your first line of defense. If you dont have your meals in order, then supplements arent going to work as effectively. A weight gaining supplement is not meant to be a substitute for food. It should supplement your existing food/meal plan. So, if you are eating clean whole foods but still need to take in additional calories to grow, a weight gainer may be for you. Who should use a weight gainer? Basically, you can use a weight gainer if youre looking to add extra calories to your diet. It might be a convenience issueits a lot easier to mix up a pre-made shake than prepare a full meal. Or, it might be that you have a small appetite. A solid weight gainer, because it digests quickly and efficiently (improved gastric emptying), will make it possible to eat another meal without feeling overly full. One other thing to considerectomorphs and classic hardgainers stand to gain more from using a weight gainer as individuals with this body type tend to have a harder time putting on weight.

 Whats the best time to use Real Gains? There really is no right time. Depending on your goals, Real Gains can be taken first thing in the morning, between meals, post-workout or before bed. You should tailor it to your needs and what youre trying to accomplish. There is no best approach. How often should I use Real Gains? This also depends on your goals. Real Gains is to be used to supplement the calories you are already getting from a balanced bodybuilding diet consisting of numerous daily whole food feedings. Depending on your diet and particular goals, anywhere from one to three times daily can lead to marked improvements. Experimenting is key. Will taking Real Gains make me fat? Real Gains is low in fat and sugar. So, if the rest of your diet is clean, adding Real Gains will not make you fat. What can I mix in with Real Gains? If you dont have time to blend up one of the shake recipes in this booklet, you can mix Real Gains with water or milk. If you need some extra calories, skim milk does nicely. If youre looking for slightly more calories, try whole milk. In any case, shoot for about 10-12 ounces of either water or milk, to taste. Because Real Gains uses instantized ingredients, you can actually mix the shake with a spoon if you wanta blender isnt necessary. What is the benefit of these recipes? The recipes in this booklet combine Real Gains with a variety of other ingredients, thus adding more calories, fats, carbs, etc. to your shake. So these recipes, in addition to being delicious, are perfect for hardgainers or anyone looking to get an even more massive calorie intake from a single shake. If youre looking for a more clean bulk, however, stick with using Real Gains on its own, mixed with milk or water.
