[QUOTE="CzukayFan, post: 1550952, member: 428147"] Hi Pauline, I'm on a very high fat, keto diet and can't put weight on either so I'm not sure if adding fat will help you. I was diagnosed with type 2 five years ago and weighed around 120 lbs at that time eating a normal North American diet or actually a little healthier than normal. Since switching to keto I have not been able to gain weight even though I eat around 2500-3000 calories a day with 75-80% of them fat. My body fat is at 6.3% and I lift weights typically 5 times a week. I want to know what I need to do as well, and eating more fat certainly won't be the answer for me as many have suggested. Eating more than the 25 grams or so of carbs that I get daily isn't an option either as it will spike my blood sugar. More protein will likely cause gluconeogenesis (protein converting to glucose if you eat too much protein) as I'm already around 1.5 g/kg. body-weight. Most people use this diet to lose weight but I'm using it to control by blood sugar and it has worked, brought me down to 5.8 A1C so from that standpoint I'm very happy but I hope somebody out there has a suggestion for both of us to put on a couple of pounds.
