In reply to how do people gain weight?, posted by linkadge on November 3, 2010, at 19:04:01
Hey Link, yeah, I'm underweight too, at about 130 pounds. I can lose weight real easy if I don't keep eating. But I can't gain.
I figured....ok, low blood pressure, low body temperature, not overly active, eat a lot....where are all those calories going?
In my case I think I finally figured it out. Malabsorption for one thing, which really needs stool test to identify, and it did. But I think most of my calories are going into the immune system. My immune system must be in hyper gear.
Here is something that can help. I actually gained 4 pounds in 2 weeks doing this, but had to stop because this particular food is one that I have a reaction to.
Peanut butter. Get the good kind with good oils and omega fats....Smart Balance. Take a heaping spoonful three times a day with meals. We're talking massive calories, protein, and good fats all packed into a spoon. The idea here is to increase caloric intake, and peanut butter happens to be a healthy robust way to do that.
