Yeah I know about this but I just can't gain weight still, I'm over eating as much as I can, i just stay the same weight which is a pain. Although I will say I've gained some weight since starting HRT and it definitely hasn't gone on my belly!
If you want to gain weight it helps to incorporate high-calorie foods that don't stimulate the over-full feeling, so something high in sugar like soda or ice cream. Obviously eating enough of that can cause metabolic disorders, but over time eating these kinds of foods will be fattening, though it can take a bit of time as your basal metabolism will increase and burn up the extra calories at first. Just be moderate I guess, obviously these are unhealthy tips, lol.
I have the opposite problem though, I struggle with losing weight and not over-eating (even when I'm eating really healthy foods). Fasting has helped me lose weight, personally.
Yeah I eat quite healthy because it's cheap lmao 😂 I'm also not very fond of sugar, my current bet is eating su much butter I get fat!
That can work. We've been doing something similar: It's slow gains (~8kg/year) but it worked for us.
Changes were:
All of this from some reading on the subject and self experimentation - I'm not a nutritionist, etc. 😊
