Sup /fit/, I'm starting GOMAD today. I can easily drink a quart (1/4 gallon) at a time. I'm a bit concerned about diarrhea cause I've had anal volcanoes happen when I upped to 1/2 gallon. Does diarrhea mean that I'm not getting the nutrients? Should I switch to 1/2 GOMAD if that doesn't work or should I endure the milky geyser?
Also, stats:
>5'8"
>164 lb
>20 M
Intend to bulk to 185 for the summer and cut with DNP in the winter.

im 6'2 160 and lifted in 2011 with gomad
it's effective but given i had 6in of height on you that implies my bf was also much lower to start with
im skeptical a gallon is necessary at all really. even in my case. i started back up last week (im totally untrained) and am experimenting with less cals and protein in to see how it affects the beginner's gains this time around
for perspective last time I went from 60/80/100 bench squat deadlift to 200/250/300 in around 3 months.
personally i basically just ate pb sandwiches and had milk. i dont think diarhea means anything.

I think Anal Volcanos will be the name of my new prog rock band.

What are you eating other than GOMAD? Are you getting enough Fibre?
Dont do gomad lol

I eat loads of vegetables and beans so I should be good in that department. Is the lack of fiber what causes the diarrhea?

If my body can handle it, is it really that bad? Would love some other input than just "don't do it its a meme lol"
>Easy calories
>Cost effective

Just add some milk to your diet to reach a reasonable surplus. There's no reason to do actual gomad.

This. GOMAD is written into SS fornsickly frail teens who are severely underweight. If you are not jack skellington tier, just use mill to get yourself to a 500 calorie surplus, which should be very easy. Milk isn't magic. It's just got good macros and potentially some hormones(that probably aren't bioavailable but whatever)
I do 3/4 GOMAD because I'm a giant and have massive TDEE. My body handles milk well so whatever.
