It had been a month before he read the label. A month of drinking three of the powders a day. And that was when he realized that the weight he'd been gaining was not just some weird qurik of the drink, as his little sister was telling him.
By then he had gained 30 pounds. He tried to exercise it off, but if exercise was hard before...

He was now 100 pounds heavier than before the summer.
