How to GAIN WEIGHT on the Carnivore diet?! I do NOT NEED YO LOSE WEIGHT!

June 17

I am looking for help on how to gain weight on the Carnivore Diet. I've been dong the diet for about 4 months. I have many health issues and i thought this could be beneficial for me. It has helped in some areas. When i started i was around 150 pounds. I ended up down in the low to middle 130's and looking like a skeleton! I've been fighting to get the weight back on but all i've been able to do is to get back to around 140 and i'm not gaining any more. Also, because of all that i'm doing to gain, i've started for the last month or more having diarrhea. It's becoming very bad! I cannot go on like this. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated?!

I went from 148 to 135 myself. I am 5'9, quite lean. I have been working out for some odd 18 years now, so the results are lean muscle mass shows. If you lose weight, and you don't workout, you see the results of not what you've not eaten, but what you have not done while not eating. Don't force feed yourself, your body knows when it has fuel. If you don't already, start lifting heavy, your body will start asking for more food and fat. And the bonus is, you build that lean mass that is so important for your metabolism. Yes, losing weight happens in the kitchen, but we can't ignore the gym.
