Progress of the GOMAD diet.

[AlmostThere!]

Okay, I gained 10lbs from the diet (10 days on the diet). I've been eating 3 meals per day, plus a snack, and exercising. I know you're not supposed to weigh yourself everyday, but why did I lose 5lbs between night and morning? I was weighing 150lbs last night, and at 9am, my weight is 145lbs. Did I actually only gain 5lbs after 10 days on the diet?

It looks like my body gains weight and stops. How can I keep the momentum going forward?

Well done, I hope you are squatting heavy 3x a week, otherwise all that milk will just become fat.

You lose 5lbs between night and morning because of sweat and loss of fluids during the night, it's nothing to worry about. All I can say though is stop worrying and obsessing about your weight, it will fluctuate like mad when on GOMAD. Focus purely on getting your numbers up on your squat, deadlift and bench press, that's the most important thing.

I know you're not supposed to weigh yourself everyday,

Then why are you doing it and then worrying about it and asking questions about it when obviously everyone before you did the thinking for you and told you not to do it?

Don't worry about about day to day fluctuations. As **** changes with water intake and carb intake/how full muscle glycogen reserves are......

Weight gain comes in what I like to call blasts or waves. You could go 2-3 months not gaining **** then kapow!! next month jump up 8 lbs. Weight gain is never straight up linear for most. Unless you're genetically gifted :cheer:

Meh you're doing full body workouts 3 times a week? That's all great and dandy. Take it from me though I so wish I would have started on an upper/lower body split or bodybuilder split say something Dorian Yates inspired. More bang for the buck in my book. Not that you won't gain from full body. Just be weary of developing imbalances. I'm all for getting big, but doing it aesthetically should be everyone's goal also. That's why I train like a bodybuilder.

Biggest guys I know use a combo of machines, cable movements, complex movements and isolation exercises.
