[net.med] New Subject: Wanting to get FAT

I have a friend who is just starting to get interested in weight lifting,
and he is afraid that he doesn't weight enough.  He weighs about 175 and
is 6' 2''.  He has just started to take this Champion rapid weight gain,
which appears to be mostly sugar.  If I remember correctly it has
320 calories per serving.  My friend is not on the net, but you can
reply to me.  He has given me the following reasons for wanting to gain weight:
1) to get fatter 2) to be in better shape for weight lifting 3) because
I want to 4) the girls will like me better (?!)
It might help to add that this person is 19 years of age, and is taking
some other medication.  I'd appreciate any comments...

 A friend of mine in high school ,when he was signed by a pro soccer team,
was advised to add some bulk (he was 5'7' approx 125-130 lbs).
 The club advised some revisions to his diet that where not very severe
and he did put on about 10-15 lbs(around 10% increase) in about 3 months
This did not appear to be fat but did fill him out from a skinny teenager
to a professional soccer player capable of playing alongside internaional
players from his club at the age of 17.
 The modifications to his diet were

    Oatmeal cereal at breakfast      

    12 oz steak(per day)    during lunch and/or dinner
 
    2 10oz bottles of Guiness stout

REMEMBER this is not a diet but a dietary ADDITIONS/SUPPLEMENTS in that 
he was told to base his eating around the above items.

BTW - the skinny teenager was Steve Perryman(Capt of Tottenham Hotspurs
                                             of the English 1st Division).
