OK, seeing as I’m trying to put weight back on at the minute (I lost a stone in under a month, due to sickness and bad recovery, dropping from 126lb to 114lb at 5ft 10, 19 y.o. and practically no bodyfat) and my doctor has said to stay outta the gym and not lift weights until I’m back to what I was, this is what I’m eating to put on weight…

How does this look, considering I’m not lifting? Will I just put on loads of pure, obvious fat? I do a lot of fast walking during the day, but if I’m not able to lift I’m still worried that I’m gonna put on a good deal of fat…any advice fella’s?

Well, if you aren’t lifting it seems that you will only be putting on fat and maybe some really small amount of muscle from the walking.

If you can’t train and have to pack on fat to be allowed to train. Eat large quantities of natural peanut butter, almonds, and fruit. See if you can hit a half jar a day. And drink a lot of milk. If you gotta pack on the fat, do it as quickly as possible and get back in to the gym, but try to do it without junk food, though it wouldn’t be out of the question for this specific goal.

Your doctor probably has no idea what weightlifting does. It’s happened.

Granted, he’s an MD, so normally, I assume he’d know what he’s talking about. I don’t think so in this case. I’d ask him how lifting at 126 lbs is any safer than at 114lbs.

Dude, just get back in the gym. Your body will rebound to it’s earlier weight soon enough.
