‘Extreme Makeovers’ for the Chronically Thin: Part of $400 Million Dollar Black Market

NEW YORK – The stigma of being labeled a "skinny loser" and the promise of becoming a "big winner" have proven to be powerful lures to the unhealthy world of anabolic steroids.

Healthy fitness "guru" Anthony Ellis says, "Do it right or don't do it at all."

According to Ellis, underweight people who can't afford an "extreme makeover" to transform their physiques are turning to unnatural, unhealthy, quick-fix remedies instead. Their drug of choice: illegal steroids. The results: disaster.

Ellis believes there is no reason to stress the body with foreign substances or to risk life-threatening health problems with illegal steroids in order to gain muscle weight.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, however, one of the main reasons non-athletes give for taking steroids is vanity. The NDA reports that the heavy demand for illegal steroids has generated a black market with estimated sales of up to $400 million a year.

The Associated Press reports that police officers are taking steroids as a "magic pill" to develop an intimidating physical presence without having to participate in a fitness program.

Plagued by heart problems, liver tumors, cancer, infertility and "at risk" for a wide range of physical illnesses, users of all ages are suffering from other "extreme" side-effects. Mental instability including paranoid jealousy, extreme irritability, delusions, and impaired judgment stemming from feelings of invincibility is common.

Based on his own experiences trying to gain weight and muscle, Ellis developed Gaining Mass, a complete training program that instructs underweight men and women on how to gain weight.

The system brings planning, diet, weight training and nutritional supplements in a 26-week course that incorporates proven dieting and weight training techniques that build muscles safely and quickly, along with a healthy dose of inspiration and motivation provided by Ellis himself.

"My biggest dream used to be to someday wear a pair of pants without a belt," he recalls. Through trial and error -- "a lot of trial, and a lot of error," he admits, laughing -- Ellis finally identified an effective way to eat, train, and supplement his diet in order to achieve a healthy body weight.

"You just have to look at my before-and-after pictures to know that the system really works," Ellis says with pride. Since developing his training regimen, he has successfully gained over 60 lbs in the last five years.

"There's no magic involved in this or any other fitness program," says Ellis. "Just hard work, smart eating and consistent training." More than 70,000 program users in 100 countries worldwide have changed their bodies and their lives with Gaining Mass!
