GOMAD

I get the concepts of the system, and I hear that it is recommended to younger people to get some weight packed on. Yet, once you get into lifting, you almost never hear anyone say anything about it. Why is that?

1 gallon of milk:
Brand: PET
Type: 2%
Serving size: 1 cup
Servings per container: 16
(all numbers below are for a full gallon)
Calories: 2080
Calories from fat: 720
Total Fat: 80g
Sat. Fat: 48g
Cholesterol: 3.2g
Sodium: 2g
Total Carbs: 192g
Sugars: 192g
Protein: 128g

I can see that 192g of carbs would be a no-go for cutting, but what about a bulking cycle? Everything seems pretty good, so why isn't it suggested as much?

It's a great way for skinny runts (like I used to be) to get some extra calories in. Liquid calories are always easier.

Taking that further, though, say... to your situation. I doubt you need an additional 2000 calories in your diet while on the upcoming cycle. Probably 1000 or so would do, and while there's nothing wrong with a glass or two of milk with each meal (which could add 500-1000 cals a day), there's nothing wrong with saving half the jug for the next day.

All that being said, as long as you aren't watching carbs, it's a fast easy way to increase calories for your day. I did GOMAD before it had a name, back in my early teens. Definitely worked for a guy with a runaway metabolism.

Not with whatever crap they are putting in there nowadays to preserve milk and to get cows to produce more of it, no.

Yeah the problem with it is my parents have ingrained into my brain that todays milk is actually really unhealthy for you and i forget but somewhere i read that milk actually is bad for you bones and doesnt help strengthen them like the old myth says... wonder if i can find that study again, ill go look around.

LMAO!

Ah, yes... The 'brown showers' and the 'quick trots' from excessive lactose consumption... peppering the underside of a toilet seat near you!

fecal buckshot... most unpleasant. I can handle just about anything, i can eat $20 worth of taco bell no problem. Anywhere close to a gallon of milk a day for more than a few days in a row can be disastrous.

People who write up these things make me want to punch them in the face.
Some of her facts are not only wrong, but the real facts are very skewed.

The only real source to anything in that write up was to one study that took 12+ years to do and was wildly flawed, because the people selected were only studied based on milk consumption and nothing else like OTHER foods eaten.
