[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1799470, member: 365308"] Not in your category but do help people who need to gain weight in my job..it is tricky because your body has its set point that it wants to stick to. You need to generate some little spurts of insulin to stop the body raiding your won fat supplies and store what you are eating rather than burn it. My advice would be frequent snacks of protein (does generate insulin) and fat or perhaps even a couple of crackers (if after 2 hours your bg isn't still elevated then you are tolerating this amount of carb) with some nut butter or cheese. Fat and protein are filling which is why so many people do find it easy to drop weight so I appreciate that its not easy to do so it would be great if you could have some carb. My thought is that carb tolerance level is very individual but if you find the right level that keeps your HBa1C in check that indicates that this is your body's natural level of fat. I do not know if you are underweight as you don't mention your height but are you concerned about losing muscle or do you just have a clear idea of what your 'fighting weight' is or is the worry about continuing to lose weight?
