Need help with foods to gain weight

Post by mcnomore »

I cannot eat grains, dairy, eggs, rice, corn, soy, nuts, quinoa or potatoes and am gluten free of course. Can anyone suggest what I can eat besides meat? I am worried about my low weight. Thank you

My two cents worth....

Cook meats in coconut oil.

Steam soluble fiber veggies that you can eat and then flavor them with coconut oil and sea salt.

Believe it or not the medium chain triglyceride in coconut oil is a good fat and the amino acids in meat help provide even more good fat for keeping on weight. The sugars in soluble fiber veggies will help with this also.

Hoping you can have coconut ;-)

Can you eat avocados? Bananas? Olives? Sweet potatoes?

I hope you can find something to supplement the meat and put on some weight.
