does anyone know any secrets to gaining weight?

Posted over 3 years ago I am really underweight and I can't seem to gain anything. My thyroid is actually in the low to normal range and my doctor can't find anything wrong with me that would cause me to lose weight. All my life I've weighed between 115-120 lbs. (except during pregnancies) and I was pretty small then. Now I weigh 98 lbs. and I'm stuck here! I'm looking for some suggestions or maybe some miracle weight gaining foods or supplements that I haven't tried yet. |

| Posted over 3 years ago Whatever you do, don't use rich gravies, and high fat and sugared foods to do it! You will not only add weight, but poor health as well. If you don't have much of an appetite, I would look into doing great tasting smoothies, and add a good quality nutritional powder that has a combination of healthy protein, carbs, and fats. Check out my blogpost for healthy writings as well if you are interested. www.poweruphealth.blogspot.com I also agree with G1TANO about making sure your physician approves what you do..
