Question

(03.03 MC) Your friend wants your advice about her new exercise plan. She has found a supplement that promises to increase her muscle size, but she wants to know what you think before she begins. The supplement encourages users to eat twice the normal amount of calories per day and avoid exercise. The website promises people can gain good muscle in a matter of days. What should you tell your friend?

Answer 1

I'd advise her to not take it. The best way do gain muscle is to do heavy but short reps with long breaks and eat lots of protein.

Answer 2

Answer:

This exercise plan should not be followed.

Explanation:

This exercise plan recommends eating twice the normal amount of calories per day and avoid exercise.

No exercise plan would recommend avoiding exercise, and there are negative effects that eating twice the normal amount of calories per day will show. In order to maintain the same weight, a person should eat the same amount of calories they burn off, anything different will result in either a gain or loss in weight (this may be very subtle). So the website is not being truthful in saying that it can build muscle within days, and this plan should not be recommended.
