Hello.
Some stat's:
I'm a 69 year old male, diagnosed w/ T2 in 2014. My weight at that time was in the region of 175 lbs. (6'2" tall)
Despite attempts to eat high calorie foods I'm losing weight. Today I'm 150 lbs. My family attest that I eat healthy good sized meals. I snack with nuts, avacado and yougurt.
Starch of any description causes major sugar spikes which can take at least a couple of days to resolve. Chili with brown rice for example will sustain 12 mmol/l. So If I avoid bread, rice, pasta, couscous etc. I can keep my sugars in check.
I've been on metformin throughout and recently read that it can cause weight loss.
Current diet. Eggs, meat, fish, low starch veg, legumes, avacados, tofu, nuts, cooking with coconut oil, oilive oil and butter etc.
I get good results in controlling my sugars by spendign 30 mins twice a day on my rowing machine.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can gain weight?
Any thoghts would be appreciated.
Thanks all.
Philip
