How To Gain Weight Like A Sumo Wrestler

1. They skip breakfast.
   This helps slow down your metabolism in the morning. Eating speeds it up.
   
   
2. Exercise in a fasted state / empty stomach for 3-5 hours.
   This increases cortisol and stress hormones, so your body is now in a “fat conservation” and “survival” mode.
   
   
3. Eat two, large meals daily. Typically at 11 am and about 8 hours later.

You skipped the part where they eat 8000-20000 calories
drink tons of booze
eat majority carbs and no fat
sleep after each meal

Sumo wrestlers purposefully try to get fat as possible. That's how they gain weight, it helps to be fasted when doing their intense training so their fatasses don't vomit up their breakfast. Its even harder to overeat in 2 meals then in 3, but that would be my guess why they skip the first meal.

Sigh, this post reminds me of "quality" journalism. Did you deliberately omit key points?

 

[tankasnowgod]

Title of this post is deliberately false, and left out 4 key points the article mentions. Including massive calorie intake.

eat majority carbs and no fat

Their meals contain plenty of fat, mainly PUFA from chicken. Chanko nabe is not low fat.

I imagine a human trying to gain as much fat as possible wouldn’t partake in an eating schedule that is touted as the cure to excess fat mass.

Do whatever you like, take as many drugs as you like. You cannot get lean with out a caloric deficit and likewise if you overeat you will get fat.

That is an idiotic notion. Imagine telling someone that has been sleep deprived since childhood and even for generations to set an alarm clock so that they don't sleep too much. Sure in the short term it’ll work, but in the long term they will pay for it big time.

They avoid eating in the mornings because they do intense exercise for hours. Otherwise if they did they would vomit it up 100%. That's what you are not understanding.

I guess the only way to find out why is to ask a sumo wrestler. Unless you are one, haha.

Decades of metabolic ward science must be idiotic then.
