A member asked:

What can i do to have rapid weight gain and get healthy fat and muscle at the same time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unfortunately: there is no way to do that. Weight gain through increased muscle mass is a long and slow process. Fat gain, on the other hand, can be very quickly accomplished but is not recommended. Don't get your medical information from friends, tv or internet scams.
