Well if you were sick, I presume you were undereating. Go back to how you were eating pre illness and I'm sure it'll level out.0

Personally I blend clean foods, because I feel it's more nutritional. The downside is usually taste, but you can work around that if you experiment with ingredients.
Is this a troll post in a troll thread?

oh man don't ask that …
if that is the poster I am thinking of he blends like chicken, vegetables, and some other crap and says it is like "drinking chicken soup"…..*dryheave*
apparently, he just blends all his clean food and drinks it…
I told him in another thread that he may want to re-examine his relationship with food...0 -

if you are gaining two pounds every two two days that that is just about 6-7 pounds a week …I would just keep doing what you are doing until you get back to regular weight...0 -
I can't even fathom what that must be like either. Obviously the OP has no need to go to this extreme.

My mom had to blend ALL of her food to drink through a straw for almost a year when she was younger because she got into a really bad car accident and ended up with her jaw wired shut. I don't know why anyone would choose this. Ick.0 -
Here's a few clean food examples. Dump 3 - 4 tbsp. of almond butter and 2 tbsp. of unrefined coconut oil into your protein shake. You can easily push the shake over 800 - 900 calories. I like to make food in a wok and add 4 tbsp. of olive oil and 3 tbsp. of coconut oil. 4000 calories is doable with a shake and 3 squares.0

How is a protein shake "clean"? For that matter, how are coconut and olive oils "clean" either? Delicious? Yes...but not exactly "clean".
(And if they are, then not only was my Great Paleo Bulk of 2012 "paleo", but also "clean". Dang, no wonder I'm so incredibly healthy.)0 -
Don't go too crazy trying to gain weight like that. You can mess up your health in other ways ingesting lots of fats, even healthy ones. Shoot for 1 pound a week. Most important part is to make sure you're eating foods that give you what you need daily in terms of micro-nutrients, i.e. vitamins and minerals. If you find yourself hungry after fulfilling your daily diet requirements, then by all means eat more, but you don't want to force yourself to do something that extreme. Most of that extra caloric intake will just turn to fat anyways. Your body can only synthesize about half a pound of muscle a week in optimal conditions anyways. That's with healthy exercising and weight resistance training.
Just keep track of it all and try not to stress about it. You'll get there.0 -

greasy protein shake vs a delicious pizza and beer washed down with a nice ice cream dessert.
