Quick HEALTHY Weight gain tips?

[JessFM]

I have lost about 3 stone VERY quickly over a couple months and have gone from a size 20UK to a size 16UK without trying to.. I am eating properly and not exercising. I prefer to be a size 20UK (16stone) because I hold the weight comfortably and look alot healthier as a 5ft8 female of mixed ethnicity (mixed white and black Caribbean) . I am currently not able to get past 13stone 12 😖 and would REALLY appreciate some advice.

Waiting on MRI on bowel & full colonoscopy results from my consultant 😓

Thankyou in advance 😁

hi Jess

I’m in a similar situation, I don’t carry a lot of weight so the weight Iv lost makes me look very thin ( I think I look unwell! ) I had to stop running as that kept any gains off as well ! I’m slowly starting to gain weight, but like yourself because I’m eating so clean now it’s very slow ! Iv introduced dark chocolate- peanut butter-Greek yogurt all with good success, my next will be honey, hope this helps for you

Take care paul

Hi, thanks for that.I have also introduced greek yogurt but i'm not a fan of peanut butter or dark chocolate.

Can you tolerate avocado, mashed potato with olive oil, dried fruit, banana, honey, dates ( to add to your yoghurt). But your current weight sounds good from a health point of view - is it worth trying to live with it until all medical tests finished and discussed? Good luck

If you seen how skinny and bony i look compared to how I was you would understand. I am tall aswell and usually carry the weight good. (Breast/bum)

For the life of me I can not stomach avocado or dates. I do eat alot of potato and fruit.

Thankyou very much

have you thought of protein shakes to help build up your weight. I use Live Hermosa, vanilla or chocolate. It’s got minimal ingredients and 18g protein.

I have asked my GP about some, i have been told to wait until my MRI and Colonoscopy results are back. I literally just rabg my consultant to chase my results.
