With
more and more skinny guys wanting to bulk up and gain muscle mass,
having recourse to a weight gainer is becoming the norm for many.
A weight gainer if used smartly can help you with your bodybuilding
goals, in other words you still need to pay more attention to
your nutrition and not rely on weight gainers alone. Weight gainers
can be used as meal replacement mostly when you don't have time
to eat 4-6 meals a day as it's easy and fast to prepare a weight
gainer shake.
There
are so many brand and variety of weight gainers on the market
today and it's becoming a hassle to decide what to buy. First
and foremost, if you want to use a weight gainer without sucralose,
you have already narrowed your choice to natural weight gainers.
Sucralose is an artificial sweetener and is 600 times sweeter
than table sugar and some people can't tolerate it due to the
side effects like migraines, headaches, dizziness and blurred
vision. Going the natural route is a healthier option for sure
and thankfully, there are weight gainers without sucralose although
it's rather limited.
After
research, here is a great natural weight gainer I've found. Introducing
Naked Mass Premium Weight Gainer. Here are 5 reasons why you should
try Naked Mass.
Only
3 Ingredients
Naked
Mass contains only 3 ingredients that is whey protein concentrate,
micellar casein protein and organic tapioca maltodextrin. There
are no garbage fillers just to increase the weight of the product,
so you get what really counts. A blend of protein provides you
with instant released protein(with the whey) and time released
protein(with the casein), keeping your body anabolic, so you're
getting the best of both worlds.
The
organic tapioca are complex carbs and these will help you build
muscle mass faster as protein alone isn't enough during a bulking
phase, you still need carbs as well and complex carbs are a great
choice. Complex carbs will also provide you with a sustained release
of energy throughout the day, so no energy spike and crash later
on.
Quality
Calories
Not
all calories are created equal, for example 100 calories from
boiled eggs is more nutritional than 100 calories from doughnuts
which is mostly flour and sugar. Same principle can be applied
with a weight gainer, if most of the calories are coming from
fats and sugars for instance, this is a low-quality weight gainer
as compared to a high-quality gainer where the calories are coming
from protein and complex carbs.
With
Naked Mass, the calories are coming from the 3 ingredients mentioned
earlier and it's packed with 1,250 calories per serving at 4 scoops
with 50 grams protein and 252 grams complex carbs. This is definitely
a high-quality weight gainer with the most calories. The 4 scoops
can be reduced to 2 and you get 625 calories, 25 grams of protein
and 126 grams complex carbs which is still great.
Undenatured
Protein
The proteins have been cold processed, hence no heating was done
during the production process meaning the proteins have not been
denatured.
Organic
Milk
Naked Mass protein is derived from milk of cows which have been
grass-fed and not grain-fed, so you're getting a high-quality
product as grass-fed cows produce better milk.
No
Sucralose and Other Artificial Sweeteners
Last but not least, Naked Mass does not contain sucralose or any
artificial sweetener or flavors whatsoever, heck it isn't sweetened
at all, so if you're concerned about health, there is no need
to worry. It's a great idea to use this supplement with frozen
fruits like frozen overripe bananas or frozen blueberries to give
more taste as it can be pretty bland. Almond milk, whole milk
and honey are some other ingredients you can use in a weight gainer
shake.
