[QUOTE="Sapien, post: 2098596, member: 507939"] I didn’t see you mention exercise. Strength training will help build muscle which can improve insulin resistance and help you gain weight. High intensity interval training will help with glucose regulation too, but you will need to eat enough so you have a caloric surplus to gain weight. Even if you were already thin, if you lost visceral fat around the waist, it may also help with the insulin resistance. As others have suggested eat more protein and healthy fats. (Not everyone agrees which fats at healthy though.) You can probably eat as many non-starchy vegetables as you want without any big effect on blood sugar. Lots of green leafy raw veggies will provide micronutrients that you may be missing. That won’t help with weight gain but with general health. Regarding vitamins, have you had vitamin D and B12 levels tested? Many people find they are low or deficient. Lack of sufficient zinc can lead to hair loss. Biotin (Vitamin B7) is important for hair growth. Egg yolks (which you mentioned you don’t eat) are a good source. Here are some others: [URL]https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/320222.php[/URL] Also with low carb some of the weight loss seems to be water weight. You might be lower in electrolytes (magnesium, potassium, sodium). [/QUOTE]
