Well, by the end of the period I decribed I had gained 20 pounds in about 6 months. I don't know what kind of weight other people gain, but it's very hard for people with a high metabolic rate to gain weight. A lot of people don't believe that if I were to sit around and do nothing but eat potato chips and canned food and watch Tv, I would actually lose about 25 pounds. But I think this new plan will help out a lot, just a matter of getting off my lazy ass and doing it
