Know if this will help anyone out but, when I was underweight for the longest time, it was due to my high cortisol levels. When your output is high, you will be skinny and can't gain. once my levels went down, I was able to gain. Butsince I am low. Output, I am with visceral fat. So some of may have hyperadrenia. Get your. Levels. Checked to rule it out. Cortisol panel...It's indeed so hard to put on weight, just as most people who are overweight have trouble shedding extra pounds!
Loverstilly, I agree that we should stick to healthier options for gaining weight. I do like fast food and munchies too but all I get from elevated cholestrol and triglyceride levels and a fatty tummy!Glad you could gain weight and hope you're keeping it!
Laika186, we're in the same boat! I'm short and not aneroxic looking (at least my face has quite a bit of fat and isn't bony!) but skinny enough for aquaintances and colleagues to make comments about my weight. Some say they envy me (which I find amusing as I prefer the curvier look), others say can you please eat more! I don't seem to be gaining weight from the high calorie drink either, maybe I should be taking it twice daily!
