However, it took me at least a couple of months to stop losing, stabilise, add a bit back as I was too thin, and maintain. I have maintained for nearly 3 years now. I had to add back more fat from protein sources mainly. Cheese, eggs, plus extra mayo (I don't like olive oil). You need to buy some scales because just like eating to your meter you will also need to eat to your scales. It really is a fine balancing act to find the right foods that stop more weight loss without adding more weight than you need to. This is why scales are essential (digital ones are best). I started with more eggs, then added cheese (It hadn't been on my menu previously), then extra mayo, cream and admittedly a glass of red in the evenings. It was difficult, but I got there. As you don't want to increase carbs, all you have left are protein and fats, so you need to work with those. If you can't increase fats, then all you have left is protein. Eggs are a good way, maybe extra fish and especially the oily varieties.</blockquote>
