How can I GAIN WEIGHT on carnivore?!

I have been doing carnivore for over three months. I did this because of all the different health issues I'm having. I did NOT do it to lose weight! I was not overweight but i'm old. Now some of the problems i was having have improved. However, i started this with my weigh around 150 pounds. I'm about five foot, nine and one half inches. I ended up getting down to around 137 pounds. That's skin and bones! I've been eating large amounts of meat, eggs and butter. I am back up to around 140 but i haven't been able to add more. I drop down and then get back to 140. This has been going on for most of the 3 months. If anyone can give me some ideas as to what to do to add healthy weight, i would appreciate it. Thanks.

Since I’ve never had a problem gaining weight I’m not much help but see if this guy might give you some ideas.

I am 5'9 at 135 lbs. currently. I am 49 years old. This is not skin and bones if you work out. A matter of fact, I am ripped. I lost also 10% of body fat, I feel light and strong. People are too quick to say skin and bones in this fat society we live in. When you lose weight, you see the summation of what you've done (or not) to your body. It's an honest look, Much like when you are overweight. Hit the gym and see weight in a different light.

Nice video.

In a nutshell, eat more, and preferentially more fat. This might mean that if you are only eating 2 meals a day because carnivore is so satiating, you might need to make yourself eat 3 meals regardless.

    • Today is February 1st and marks the first day of "National Fasting February" - and yes, this is a thing. Google it!

      For this month's challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to practice various forms of fasting throughout the month. The type of fasting you wish to do is entirely up to you. We are going to encourage INTERMITTENT FASTING, that is to put it simply, skipping a meal so that you are only eating 2 meals a day instead of the traditional 3 meals a day. The goal is to enjoy these meals within an 8 hour "feasting window" and then no food in the remaining 16 hours "fasting window" (in which 8 of those hours you should be sleeping).

      An example is waking up at 7am, but waiting until 11am-noon for your first meal, and then having dinner at 6-7pm for your 2nd meal. Other people prefer to eat a breakfast, then a mid-day lunch, and skip dinner. 

      If you want to throw in a 24, 48, or 72 hour fast just to show off by all mean do so, lol. 

      Just like before, we encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk. Every Reply in this topic will count as an entry for this month's prize drawing. Attending Monday night zoom also counts as a bonus entry. Back-to-back posts count as 1 entry as a counter to spamming. 

      Let's keep our resolutions going strong!
