If you're not going to be working out, you will only gain fat. Maltodextrin (the main ingredient) will spike your blood sugar considerably, and if the cells in your body aren't using it (because you're not working out), it will get stored as fat.

Now I don't know what you look like. If you're skin an bones, then sure this might help (at the expense of your pancreas cranking out insulin). A healthier option if you're not working out would be Garden of Life Raw Meal.

FYI, when most people tell you to gain weight, they mean muscle, not fat. Strength training 3 days a week will get you where you need to be. And don't worry about bulking up. As a female you lack the testosterone necessary to make that happen.

Hope this helps,

  Good Morning, I used this product numerous times and I love it. It is very good tasting, it blends well with no clumping. ON is by far the best product on the market. The ingredients I a sure are the best. I hope this help. I would buy this again and again. Dave.

  I don't know. I take it often. However, in much reduced quantities. All I'm looking for is an extra 500 calories a day to boost my total to 3500 which is too much for me to eat with quality food. This gives me that 500 extra calories. So in that context, it's working for me.

  oh okay thanks yeah I was a little skeptical when my milk is turning red lol but now it makes sense.

  No it is not. Need to take it everyday

  I took this product twice a day and ate all the right things to help gain weight. In a one month period I gained 18 pounds without working out. Only downfall is you have to mix it very well(blender). I would recommend this product if you take it like your supposed to. Very satisfied with results

  Hi I had mass maybe 5 mouths ago but it didn't work on me with all protein ..!! It has a buggiest scoop in my whole life I saw ..!! Go just get cretin and masule teacht .. I'm not sure about spelling but its a the best protein shake 1100 cal and 40 G protein ... I got 20 pound gain in first mounth

  This product will help ONLY if combined with a proper diet and training plan for muscle growth, like any protein supplement. It's rich in carbs and to take it in the morning or post-workout are good options.

  Yes this product would help and also eat a lot of food, but good food. You have to train hard and lift heavy. You should take some creatine,fish oil omega 3-6-9,and plenty of rest.

  This product can definitely help you put on weight. I gained 10 pounds in 1 month.

Of course, you also have to lift heavy weights and get a lot of calories from food.

  Not from my experience. Its just a concentration of calories mostly carbs low in fat, doubt any problems like that can be attributed to it.

  I went through two tubs and I didn't have a problem with any breakouts. It will cause you to gain a little more fat though.

  Hey Zach!

You'll use your weight gainers whenever you feel you are short on your calorie intake in order to remain anabolic throughout your day. You could take Serious Mass about an hour before your workout to accomplish this, or you could take it an hour-or-so after your workout to accomplish the same purpose. I have taken Serious Mass before, after, and a lot of the time (during my morning workouts) in the midst of the workout, along with some other whole food as well. You'll find though that you should try to minimize your intake of the weight gainers, however, because, while you will be able to satisfy your caloric requirement during the day, you'll start to look like shit. Weight gainers don't exactly make your skin look very nice, which is why most people use them only when necessary -- a lot of the time you'll be needing to eat 7-8000 calories a day, which is .... difficult to do day after day. Regardless, I hope it works out for you. Have fun lifting! ^_^

  I would not take it before you lift, or at least not right before. It works great as a recovery drink after a lift because of all the carbs and protein it has. But because of the high carb content, I wouldn't take it too late in the day. Better in the morning or afternoon so your body can process it all and not store fat. Hope that helps!

  If you are skinny looking for bulk, you take 30% of your drink with a protein bar before you workout. After workout, you drink the remaining 70% with or without a bar... If you are looking to gain muscles without too much bulk or fat, drink all before workout and just eat high protein meal after workout. (FISH, EGGS.. e.t.c)

  The most important time to take it is after you lift. But if you'll see more results if you take it an hour before and within a half hour after you lift.

  I take it after a work out . Due to the grams of protein in the powder

  after you lift, for best results read the direction in the back side.

  I liked taking it right after my work outs.

  According to the label there are only 8 servings. So it can be emptied within in 8 days if you drink one per day. Personally I only used about 1/4 to 1/3 of a serving at a time since my goal was to just use pre or post workout to replenish approx 60g of carbs. As well as just boosting my calories by a small amount to reach my goals for "Myfitnesspal." (app)

  depends how much you take every day. You don't need to take exactly the full scoop that it brings (that is more than 1 thousand calories!). You can use a smaller amount and still get good results, depends on your body weight, age, exercise regimen, etc.

  A very small amount of time. You gotta go for the 10lb bag otherwise it's a waste of money.

  One of the ingredients is Red #40 food coloring, have no idea why, that's probably what it is. Bummer because I thought it might have been vitamin A or something good for me.

  I have never seen such issue. I would contact O.N.
