Oh sugar, I'm sorry! I went through this with a few friends of mine. You'll gain the weight, just lay off all of the junk food! Gorge on fruits and veggies, drink your milk, make sure you get some healthy fat into your diet (keeps your hair from falling out), eat whole grains as much as you can, and just keep at it. Oh, and don't forget to add in fish! The omega 3 fatty acids are really good for you. Its all about portion control. Find out how much do you need to eat to gain weight and keep at it. You'll be fine!

you need to eat a healthy diet, no candy bars,no cake, no pie, limited pizza. The only thing on the pizza good for you is the red sauce (tomatoes) Your body doesn't need sugar it need nutrition. Sugar shuts down you immune system and you can catch every disease that comes down the street. One cookie and soda will shut down your immune system for 5 hours.

· It is important to maintain a good diet so you don't compromise your health. Some diet damage cannot be fixed.
·
· When you deprive your brain,(your brain craves sugar) the brain will take other body cells to convert to the elements that it needs. And the cells it takes are BRAIN cells. OOPS. I don't want to lose brain cells to have thin legs. But I would like to have both.

DECIDE TO MAKE A LIFE CHANGE TO A HEALTHY LIFE STYLE.

1) fruits and veggies, all you want, organic, raw, vine-ripe if possible. Steamed is OK, sautéed is OK even canned or frozen is OK, but lots of them.
2) limited or no meat.
3) nothing fried
4) no FAST FOOD- is junk, no nutrition, empty calories
5) NO PROCESSED FOOD. if you can't pronounce it don't eat it.
6) nothing white, salt, sugar, mayo, milk, (or at least in moderation.
7) NO DAIRY-dairy is great for baby cows, your body does not even digest it properly. check out www.notmilk.com
8) EXERCISE- and be sure to refresh your body with water and fresh fruit
9) NO PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS. Muscle is made from water, replace the water. You get enough protein from the food you eat, You get more protein from spinach than the supplements you take and your body does not get toxic on food protein the way it will with supplements. Supplements can really tax you liver.
10) Good supplement would be Omega 3, and Juice Plus+

11) NO CARBONATED DRINKS, or at least limited. They actually dissolve the calcium in your bones.
12) Calories in calories out.

AND DON'T GO NUTS, MODERATION.

look i know you have to gain weight , but eating all that junk is not the healthyway to do it. sure it will make you gain fast but the wrong way.
See a nutritionist and im surprised you havent seen one before being as you have had an ED...
