Putting weight on

[mike gibson]

Anyone have advice for a skinny diabetic...was losing weight before diagnosis which was 2 weeks ago.. now adopting a low sugar and carb diet but worried about keeping weight on and trying to put back on what I’ve lost... currently at 9st 13lbs...I’m still awaiting my first diabetic nurse appointment so have had no medical diet advice...

well - I know that I need to eat less Greek yogurt mixed with desiccated coconut for my weight to drop - just leave it a few minutes to mellow before eating.
It is low carb and high calorie, and very easy to eat.

Post-surgery I also found it a bit tricky to put weight on.

To be honest, I just ate a bit more of everything, and when I wanted to I'd have some berries with double cream. If you subscribe to the calories in/calories out way of thinking then it's worth noting that fats are the most calorific, per gr/oz of the food groups.

For me, in any case, it wasn't a quick thing, but I'm sure my surgery had a bit to do with that, as I was still healing/recovering.

Good luck with it all, but don't rush it.
