This thread is really cool. I love the suggestions and, for the most part, they seem to be in line with what I would recommend. I can appreciate the Wheat free (gluten free) choice you made Ella. Excellent choice - wheat is so bad for us in any of it's forms! Generally, I think you need to eat more carbohydrates to gain weight. I've lost 20% of my body weight since April by eliminating wheat and cutting carbs to less than 100 grams per day, so doing the opposite to GAIN weight seems very logical. Eat whatever grains (other than wheat of course) and starches you like and eat more of them than usual. ...What a crazy, fun problem to have in our overweight world!?!
