Is the shit white?

I'm curious

Ignore these people, they've obviously never done GOMAD. Regardless of your milk drinking habits before starting GOMAD, you're gonna be pissing out your ass for a couple days. Also farts. Lots of farts. It does get better, and the end result is worth it.

starts GOMAD;

Is lactose intolerant.

daroons · 11 months

Get some lactase pills they're inexpensive and will save you a great deal of pain. Unless you enjoy your water shits that is...

cc81 · 11 months

GOMAD is stupid. Why not start with adding 1/3 of a GOMAD to your normal diet instead and see if you gain weight?

trex902 · 11 months

your body isn't used to in taking so much milk, give it time to adjust. Its just like the film Super Size Me. That guy eats completely healthy and he throws up before he can even finish his first big mac lol. By day 30 hes downing 3 of them a day. By day 30 of GOMAD you will be 20lbs heavier and drinking milk like water. Stick with it.

You're welcome.

That shit is incredible. Pun absolutely intended.

Two possibilities. You're either lactose intolerant or a moron.

If you are lactose intolerant, well, that sucks.

If you didn't drink milk regularly before, and just today decided to drink a gallon, well, then you're a moron. Probably should have worked up to it over the course of a week. You didn't go and rep 1.5xBW squats your first day in the gym, you don't drink a gallon of milk your first day of bulking.

k bro, now is the time to evaluate what your goals in lifting and exercising are. do you only care about making as much strength gain as possible in a short time frame? if that is the case, by all means, drink dat milk and take dose shits. however, if you are just looking to put on a bit of muscle and look good with a shirt off for dem hoes (be honest with yourself now), stop GOMAD right fucking now! a gallon of milk has ~2400. and to pull a number out of my ass and add three meals a day at a modest 500 cals each to that amount, you are looking at ~4000 cals a day. unless you are on gear or are some genetic outlier, 4000 cals a day will make anyone put on fat. i don't care if you listen to or trust me on this, but atleast you can't say nobody told you so now. gomad, not even once. inb4 all the mad that goes with fittit neckbeards defending such a laughable diet regime.

YouStupidCunt · 11 months

Well, be thankful. When I was drinking a ton of milk it bound me up and it felt like my shits were the size of Buicks, accept harder and with sharper angles.

Trenks · 11 months

Curious. Did you think introducing a gallon of milk to your day would be a pleasant experience for the first week or two?

nerdyfitnessguy · 11 months

Oats (fiber) help A LOT with adapting to a new high calorie diet. Keeps the systems flowing. But yeah, you're gonna feel bloated for a while either way.

Viend · 11 months

This doesn't quite pertain to the topic right now, but how small are you right now that you want to do GOMAD?

Wreck_Loose_Recluse · 11 months

Lactaid

jm1872a · 11 months

You have a pretty clear case of lactose intolerance... Your body cannot digest the lactose and the stress of it is actually going to affect digestion of the whey protein in the milk anyway, so GOMAD is probably not a good idea for you.

I_SHANK_BATS · 11 months

Eat more fiber.

jepjepjep · 11 months

Congratulations, you're (probably) lactose intolerant.

If you still want to do GOMAD, then lactase pills or lactase added/lactose-free milk are your best options.

essendoubleop · 11 months

Whole milk, nonfat milk, what?

mattseanbachman · 11 months

Try drinking less more frequently, or, start with a more tolerable amount (e.g. 1/2 gallon) and work up gradually.

imyourdaddy86 · 11 months

i'm no expert by any means but i can tell you that GOMAD gave me my biggest gains in strength and size when i was trying to add weight/strength. I started doing Starting Strength at 130lbs and easily shot up to 150, that 20lbs makes a big difference on a skinny frame! it sounds to me like you may be lactose intolerant to some degree, i never had this much of an issue. Lactaid it up son!

ClvrNickname · 11 months

I'm not lactose intolerant (I normally drink about 1/3 gallon of milk everyday anyway) but when I tried GOMAD I was shitting like you wouldn't believe. I had to stop the program after two weeks because I had actually lost several pounds despite eating 3000 calories a day on top of the milk.

Battou62 · 11 months

Does milk clean you out that bad? That must be good for you?

PepitoneConQueso · 11 months

I really don't think GOMAD is necessary, I gained 15lbs clean in 4 months drinking 1/3 of a gallon of skim milk a day on top of my normal diet, gainer shakes, and creatine.

If it is so unpleasant for you then stop doing it.

jalez · 11 months

Svunt shake. 1.5/day.

Less lactose + more fiber = better shits.

dyllos · 11 months

You're supposed to ease into it.

Magnusson · 11 months

When I was doing GOMAD I needed lactase pills, and it sounds like you do, too.

TakeRepliesLiterally · 11 months

I drink a ton of milk, probably little under a gallon but definitely over a half gallon a day. I have perfectly solid shits. I also supplement psyllium husk. Dunno if it's just purely coincidental but you could try that, it's pretty cheap.

ithika · 11 months

So you're basically flushing all the nutrients of everything you eat straight out of your body?

hearty clap

[deleted] · 11 months

My shit was bright green when I was doing this.

rollerboogie · 11 months

I did it for 2 months without any stomach problems. Even used raw milk sometimes and was done. Lactose intolerant maybe?

frank_the_cat · 11 months

What. The Fuck. Is this.

Clarification: Why are you drinking a gallon of milk?!??!

HurstT · 11 months

You lactos intolerant? Or sensitive? Maybe gomad isn't for you if bothers your gastro

blargerz · 11 months

Could be casein intolerant. Try goat milk. It is 2x price though.

[deleted] · 11 months

Hate to ask this since you've already decided to do GOMAD, but...

Do you honestly need to be doing GOMAD? GOMAD's main utility is mainly for people who have no money and want to bulk, and after that for people who are lazy and don't want to put any effort into the diet portion of a bulk. If you aren't completely broke, then GOMAD is a bad choice.

If you're set on doing GOMAD, then good luck.

Edit: Also saw from a different comment you're a "hardgainer". There are still better ways to gain than GOMAD.

Also, for the love of god, GOMAD doesn't have to be all or nothing. You can play around with it. Milk is awesome but it's not like if you don't drink the whole gallon you wont make any gains. You can drink get most of your calories from food and then drink a bunch of milk for the rest. Find what works for you.
