Guest guest Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Al: first of all congratulations on your attempt to gain weight. Those of us in the group who are aware of your condition have been quite concerned about you. If I were trying to gain weight, I'd add more unsalted nuts to my diet and perhaps a " pure " nut butter and more whole grains (such as perhaps a sandwich of whole grain pita bread, with nut butter and a pure fruit spread). Eating more fruit is also a good option. I find it strange that you are adding pure oil to your diet and the loose stools should be telling you something. Listen to your body. BTW the last time I was very sick (before CR) a nutritionist advised eating peanut butter and jelly on crackers or on sandwiches, however not the healthy kind - the kind of crackers with trans-fat and the peanut butter with sugar, salt etc that you would find in a regular supermarket. on 12/18/2004 2:33 PM, old542000 at apater@... wrote: > > Hi All, > > I have found that I require more calories and body weight > for my health and believe that I may have found a healthy > fat formula, Your opinions would be appreciated. > > I have felt the effect on my limited body weight on my > mobility and exercise performance and enjoyment.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Hi All and Francesca, 1. I am cheap. 2. Oil is quicker. 3. My stools are not loose. 4. From where I come from, grains and high glycemic fruits are not CRON-like. > Al: first of all congratulations on your attempt to gain weight.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Hi again Al: Don't be penny wise and pound foolish. Hospital stays are a lot more expensive than a few nuts or any other foods (nuts can be bought on sale especially this time of year). Variety, variety, variety. Where I come from (Walford country) some whole grains and fruit are highly desirable and are correlated with good health. Of course you are going to do what you are going to do. But before you dismiss what I suggested bear in mind that I can't remember the last time I even had a cold, knock wood. (never mind what you mention: a chronic cough, serious lung infections, pneumonia and bronchitis). on 12/18/2004 4:11 PM, old542000 at apater@... wrote: However, I continue to have a chronic cough, albeit without serious lung infection.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Hi Francesca, I also before reducing my weight below what 5 more pounds will provide had almost no colds and no flu for 1 years. I had no serious lung infections whatsoever, but had reduced my weight 37% from an ad lib BMI of 22.3. Cheers, Al Pater. > > However, I continue to have a chronic cough, albeit without > serious lung infection.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Hi All, That should have been 15 years. I apologize for the error. > > > > However, I continue to have a chronic cough, albeit without > > serious lung infection.
