Guest guest Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 I've been nursing since October 2000 when my first child was born and continue to nurse my second child who was born in May 2003. As a result, I'm as thin as a toothpick and no matter how much or what I eat, I can't keep any weight on. I am a vegan and I eat nuts and nut butter daily, make tofu-banana-coconut soy shakes daily, use olive oil daily, eat breads daily, etc. but still can't gain those extra pounds. Does any one know of any weight-gain diets that might work for me? I don't want to use any protein supplements or similar supplements. I just want to rely solely on food if possible. -- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you lack energy? (Silly question to a mother of 2, I know!) Maybe you are just meant to be where you are on the weight scales right now. Since it sounds like you are eating plenty of healthy, fatty, carb foods...you are probably okay. Don't feel pressured to gain weight (or lose it) in order to conform to society's standards.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 If you are healthy and eating a variety of foods, there is no real need for you to gain weight. Have you calculated how many calories you are eating? You can use fitday.com to do that. Good luck Anna Macknight > I'm as thin as a toothpick and no matter how much or what I eat, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
