[QUOTE="pickledpepper2, post: 378827, member: 43333"] [b]Re: Overweight vs underweight... which is harder to deal wit[/b] Interesting topic! I've always been on the slimish side but did get obese prior to diagnosis. On reflection I should've twigged onto something being seriously wrong because all of a sudden even training hard wasn't helping me lose the weight. I was under a lot of stress at work at the time. I just thought my metabolism had slowed down now that I had hit my mid 30s.........boy was I wrong. Then came the sudden weight loss which turned me into a walking skeleton (that's how I felt anyway). Slowly I have gained some weight back on since then (3 years ago), but then I do train everyday (occasionally weights but usually using my own body weight i.e. pushups, squats, chin ups, pull ups). Strange thing is that carbs seem to strip my body of what little fat I do have?? Like some sort of thermogenic tablet body builders use to 'cut up'. So even eating carbs doesn't help me put weight on now but has opposite effect?! I'd love an explanation for this if anyone has one? What I would suggest to thin people want to put on weight is introducing some good quality protein powder based shakes into their diet. You can get high protein - low carb ones like USN Pure Protein. They are expensive but worth it in my opinion. Especially as a quick meal on the go/breakfast. [/QUOTE]
