Although I commend the effort, I'm not sure if John Walker himself is a good example of this diet's effectiveness.

#6For me the challenge is not to lose weight, but to gain weight and develop muscles. I'm an otherwise healthy young male but even with proper diet my weight gain rate is way too slow. I'm guessing I've a high metabolic rate. Is there any actually good guide for gaining weight quickly in a healthy way?

Assuming you have been lifting/ exercise, you just gotta eat more whole grain carbohydates. Rolled or steel cut oats, brown rice, pasta 2-3 times a day and you can exceed your daily calories requirement pretty easily.

Why? It’s been a few years since I saw him last but the diet had really helped him to lose a lot of weight and keep it off.
I know others who have lost a lot of weight with it. And his “floater/sinker” graph has been copied in several applications.

Are you assessing and recording your caloric intake and your macros currently? Are you assessing and recording your weight daily on a reliable scale? If not, those are the places to start. Buy some scales (body and food), get the MyFitnessPal app, and start collecting data on what you normally eat and how much you weigh over time. If you are losing weight over time, eat more of what you normally eat until you weight stabilizes.
Once your weight has stabilized and you have a baseline, go to iifym.com and develop a weight gain / bulking plan. This will be what you currently eat daily calorie wise + 200-300 calories with prescribed macros. Try to hit your newly prescribed calories and macros each day with a focus on healthy eating (track and record your food intake to monitor this) and keep track of your weight. You should aim for 1-2 lbs per week of weight gain. If you are not achieving that, increase calories by 100-200 per day until you do.

I used to be like that. I couldn’t get above 75 kg no matter how much I lifted or ate protein and stuff. This solved itself by getting older. Now I still have trouble putting on muscle but getting fat is quite easy :-).
In hindsight I think it’s not a good goal to gain weight if your body doesn’t respond. I would focus on eating right and being strong, flexible and coordinated and let the weight settle wherever it wants.
