Ever since I was a child, I’m fond of drinking chocolate drink. Milo and Ovaltine are the usual ones I drink in but occasionally, I also sip Swiss Miss and Nesquik. Today however, I’m looking for a chocolate drink suitable for young adults that gives and opposite effect to diet pills like Fastin. Yup, I want to gain weight but not that much.

So far, I have tried Ensure, Sustagen Premium and Appeton

Among the three, Sustagen Premium tastes best. However, based on some readings, it seems that Ensure has more vitamins and minerals, though I’m having hard time dissolving it in water. Appeton guarantees the most effective formula to gain weight. Their prices are almost the same – all are quite expensive – so this is not a deciding factor.

There is no chance for me to mix the best qualities of each product, so that means I have to choose one. Right now, I’m leaning towards Sustagen Premium primarily because of its taste. There’s no way for me to appreciate the effect of other products if I’m not willing to drink it heartily.

I bought Appeton today. I am determined to gain some weight so I included this in my list when I went to the supermarket. I tried drinking Ensure and it is quite good because my friends say that it seems I gained a few pounds or it is just that I moved to another company with a less stressful work. I think it’s in our genes to be really slim (or should I say skinny) until one gets married.

They say that losing weight is very hard to achieve but those thinifers know how extremely difficult it is to gain weight – that even if one will eat, sleep, eat, sleep, eat again, it won’t work. Doctors and friends have also suggested several supplements that help gain more weight or improve your appetite. I can say that none of these worked except for one, which was suggested by Merryll. Those who have tried this Chinese medicine will know what I am talking about. The medicine is Ling Zhi Chuang Yao Wan. It can be bought in Chinese drug stores. Just make sure that you’ll be able to distinguish between the real Ling Zhi and the fake one. Examine the smell, the bottle and the label. I can’t help much because I haven’t bought a fake one. If you buy it in the usual markets (Binondo), it can cost around P350.00. If you buy it in malls, it’ll cost P750.00 or more.

This is really really really effective but, be careful you can get way out of your budget just wanting to eat. Even after you just had your lunch, it seems that minutes later, you’ll feel that you want to eat more. Some other effects of this is that you won’t feel stressed, you’re always happy and you’ll be able to sleep better. It really felt great!

I observed that my cheek and stomach went bloated and I also shopped for new clothes since my old ones do not fit anymore. Everyone noticed it, especially those who had not seen me for a while.

Being curious on why this was too effective, I researched and found out that this contains steroids. That’s why I stopped taking it. Also, some said that this can make your bones become brittle. Merryll once said, “then take it with Anlene!” Another reason why I said goodbye to this medicine is that I noticed that I looked better in the old me no matter how thin I am.

When I stopped taking it, my body shrinked to the old one, I became thin again, and looked a little stressed.

Now, I will see if Appeton will help me gain weight in a more natural way than taking steroids.

P.S. If you’re taking Ling Zhi, make sure you take advantage of the eat-all-you-can’s… munch munch munch…
