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
03 REAL GAINS INFORMATION
with 6 grams of key fats from flaxseed oils (EFAs) and MCTs,
which are included to aid in hormone production and cell
membrane protection and growth, as well as overall daily
nutritional needs.
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 don’t have your meals in order, then supplements
aren’t 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
you’re looking to add extra calories to your diet. It might be a convenience
issue—it’s 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 consider—ectomorphs 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.
• What’s 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 you’re 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 don’t 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
you’re 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 want—a blender isn’t 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 you’re looking for a more clean bulk, however, stick with using Real
Gains on its own, mixed with milk or water.
