Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Sweets My question - I need to gain about 18 lbs to be considered a " normal " body weight. My physician does not want me to exercise (which I am used to walking 1/2 - 1 hour daily) and just eat are his directions. My concern is that the increased caloric intake plus no exercise will make me gain fat, when it's muscle that I need to gain. Any suggestions or recommendations? Should I continue my walking, and just increase the calories? I eat a pretty much raw food diet, all organic foods, and I eat until I feel satiated. Thanks for any and all help/advice.

This makes no sense to me, especially if your body is used to it. ~Wendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 He feels that I am burning too many calories that he wants me to store at this point. And yes, makes no sense to me, I stopped my weight training and aerobics, and only walk at this point, and (no big surprise) I lost even more weight, which was muscle loss. I want to preserve all the muscle I can, but cannot reconcile that with no exercise. - ky_wendylynn rawfood Monday, December 29, 2003 12:23 PM Re: [Raw Food] Diet Quetion > My question - I need to gain about 18 lbs to be considered a " normal " body weight.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 I would stop the aerobics, but continue the weight training and beef up (no pun intended) the calories, big time. I would add lots of coconut milk and other high fat nutrition. Nuts and seeds are good if you don't overdo. I doubt you will store it as fat if you keep up the weight training and walking.
