Gaining

Fat could be... contagious?

I was in 'that' part of youtube last night when I stumbled on a very interesting documentary.

It was on why people don't put on as much weight as others and a little clip came up about a virus that actually promotes weight gain.

Not only that but in tests it showed that the people that tended to be larger carried said virus.

The bit that caught my attention was that it's actually contagious for the first 2-3 months!

Noticing you're putting on weight and have symptoms of a cold/bad stomach? Head over to the nearest gainer get together to spread the love! smiley

I have no clue how true this is/isn't but I thought it might interest you guys and gals.

Oh I think I watched this a while ago, is it the one with the hilarious Bollywood style clips in it? It's definitely worth watching for that alone!

Was an interesting documentary and theory, I really enjoyed it.

I've no idea how true it actually is but the studies and results were certainly food for thought smiley

Ha ha I don't think it's the same one smiley

One guy literally couldn't put on fat because it would be turned to muscle which made me a bit jealous...

Getting buff by doing NO exercise should be illegal!

I can see how it could be true but I think it's more down to genetics than anything.

Oh I just actually looked at the link, I remember watching that one ages ago, don't really remember what it said though!

I was talking about this, which was interesting and so funny
