[QUOTE="JAT1, post: 1896399, member: 490842"] I am really struggling with trying to keep weight on. I am very skinny. I eat about 100 to 150 carbs a day. I cut out all starch because my BG went out of control, so I do not want to increase carbs. I'd rather look like a skeleton but have in range BG as I was suffering complications before I was diagnosed type 1 on July 31 such as vision problems etc but they have since abated. This is the only reference I have found so far on this topic from Dr. Bernstein: [MEDIA=youtube]j4HkBDR_mcw[/MEDIA] He says to up protein. But it's about what to do when you have lost all the weight you want. I read a thread just the other day from someone with this same problem but have not been able to find it again. Being new to the forum I'm still having problems navigating. My weight was staying the same for a few weeks and then this morning it dropped 3 pounds. I eat tons of cheese and everyday eat to the point of being uncomfortably stuffed and wish I could just maintain this weight at least so I can give my gut a rest. I don't want to die of starvation !
