Not gaining to NHS guidelines

[Horsemad1]

For the past few weeks I have managed to gain only 0.2kg weekly, the NHS guidelines and what my treatment expect is 0.5kg, I not allowed to exercise and I am eating eating around 2500-300calories everyday, what else can I do to help me gain more? Xx

Hello

If you do what they say you should gain the amount they want.

Do it because you want a happier and fulfilling life and not because gaining weight will get people off your back so you can slope back to your old ways.

Gain too quickly and you will panic more. Point out that any gain is a Step in the right direction a slow pace under your control would be better.

Good luck

Hi Horsemad, I wouldn't get too downhearted - my 14 year old daughter is being treated as an in-patient at an Eating Disorder Unit, and even they could only manage .1kg over 4 days last week. The body is a strange thing and sometimes I think the metabolism shifts. I'm not an expert, but hang on in there As la-la-la says, any gain is something to be proud of, and I also believe in 'slow and steady' rather than rushing it and then sliding back. Keep strong xx
