I've lost another five pounds in the last two months. I'm now down to 153,
BMI 21.0. I'd like to weigh 168, BMI 23.0. Is carb snacks the only way to
get there? Thanks.

More fat and protein. Your meals seem small to me, are they? How many meals
and snacks a day are you having?
Like the salad you just posted about. I'd lose a ton of weight with meals
like that.

Perhaps you should see your Dr. and find out if you have a thyroid problem
or something. Otherwise, simply eat more calories. Doesn't have to be
carbs. Could be nuts, seeds, avocados, eggs, cheese, meat, or foods that
are higher in calories than carrots and celery.

Why do you want to gain wieght?..i know you had health issues where you
wanted to maintain a certain weight..but a male can be very healthy at 12
percant body fat.

If it was me i would be more concerned with lean muscle mass then fat.

If you really want to gain..why not increase caloric intake with protiens
and non spiking carbs and bring muscle building exercise into it?

BMI of 21 is OK... but you could try eating more often, and more
calories.

Hi, OzGirl. Thanks. Fatty lamb works for me! Gotta pick up a leg or
shoulder. I normally eat one meal a day, but my daughter has been bringing
me snacks, several hours before of after Jun makes my dinner. More sausage
and cheese omelettes in the ofing, too. Jun's been berating me. Says every
morning she wants to make me breakfast, but I say I'm not hungry.

The night befo 7/21/08 Before dinner BG 99. Had eggplant, clams, shrimp
and garlic in a 3-cheese marinara sauce.One hour PP BG 127. Two hour 145.
Three hour 120. Too much store-bought marinara, I guess. ;-(

Take care.

Thanks, Julie. I like all of those, although I have Jun shell the seeds for
me. ;-)

How ya doin'? Saw yer post about the meter strips. Tough break. When I've
had strips fall on the floor, I just winnowed them and put them back in the
container. But then, I'm a slob. ;-(

Thanks, Krom. Lean muscle mass it what I want. And you're right! I need to
exercise more. I'll have to get started. I wish there was a swimming pool
nearby.

Working on it, Nicky. I'm gonna start exercising again, too. Gotta work my
way up. I used to enjoy working out. Now, I've turned into a keyboard and
couch potato. Gotta find my old routine for inspiration!

Take care.

Start low, work up slow... a kata or two would be an interesting place
to start? Resistance training is what you need more than cardio, I
think?

Thanks, Nicky. Soloflex still sells their resistance 'weights', so I might
set the old horse up again. I haven't done Kata in almost 15 years. I don't
remember any of them. Krom woke me up. I'll email you what I'm working up
to for now.

Take care.

Carbs are the best way to add fat to your body, not healthy lean body
mass.

Best way, IMO, is to add one or two daily protein shakes made with
yogurt, some walnut oil, a scoop of protein powder, maybe some frozen
stawberries, etc.

And forget BMI, it's a bad guide. Waist to hip ratio is the most key.

Thanks, Susan. What kind of waist/hip ratio should I be looking at?

The general rule is that men want to be below 1 and women below .8.

Thanks, Susan. I'll hafta see how I 'measure up'. ;-)

Hmmm. Perhaps I phrased that poorly. You woke me up on getting back into
exercising, old chum! Don't turn over. ;-D
