Question:
How can I maintain my weight without fat and carbs?

I'm in a bit of a pickle, hard to believe but I'm getting too skinny and my doctor wants me to eat as often and as much as possible, not a problem my appetite is pretty good and grazing used to be my mission in life. However, I should keep away from fats because I do not absord them and they give me extreme diahrea which make me loose more weight and I can not really eat any big quantity of pasta, potatoes and rice because it doesn't go down very well, at this time I'm binging on sweets most of the time, but that can't be good... how does one gain weight without fats and carbs?    — Diane B.

If you've been living on mostly proteins up until now you could try adding a lot of veggies to your diet. These are carbs but usually go down better than pastas and such.

Whole grain breads with butter, crackers with peanut butter, chips, snacks to include your sugared treats, higher calorie protein bars. The goal is to add calories to gain weight. You have to choose foods with a higher level of calories and you are in the enviable position of getting to graze to either gain some weight or at least stop losing any more. I would stay away from or minimize the low calorie foods that take up room in the pouch without adding calories such as the veggies.
