|  Hello, I'm Andre from Paris
Hello!
I'm new here, I registered just yesterday. I'm here to share my thoughts and learn from you.
I'm not trying to lose weight, instead I'm trying to gain weight.
I'm currently 116 lbs and I'm trying to reach 132.
It's very difficult for me to gain this extra weight because I only eat healthy and low calorie foods...
Hope to reach my dream weight before the end of the year!
I'll keep you updated .gif ";)")
Cheers,
Andre

Thanks!
My height is 1.70m (5.58ft) and I'm 31 years old.
Some years ago when I was young  my weight was 132 lbs (63kg) and I was feeling good. Now I still feel good but I find myself too thin

Hi Chrisydj,
Yes I have consulted a doctor. The reason of my weight loss is that I have crohn's disease.
I don't take any medicine because they are ineffective, rather I control my diet and I have been able to remove my flare ups that way.

Well, the best thing you can do is increase your calories at this point, but in a healthy fashion of course. Have you figured out how you are going to gain said weight?

I read a book that helped me a lot when I was first diagnosed, it's called "breaking the vicious cycle" from Elaine Gotschall.
This is after reading it that I started to control my flare ups with my diet.
Today I don't take any medicine and I feel very good. Sometimes I even wonder if I still have crohn... When I want to be sure I eat something I shouldn't like a chocolate cake and bam the symptoms reappear

I have put "just" between quotes because even if it seams simple it's not
I'm not someone who eat a lot.
I have calculated that if I was weighting 63Kg (the weight I want to achieve) my maintenance calorie intake should be 1852 calories/day.

I think she is taking meds. I know she was when she still lived in Oklahoma but she got married and moved to New Mexico several years ago. My mom still talks with her some but I havent talked to her since she moved.

Building muscle will help you pack on a few lbs, as muscle weighs more than fat. I would maybe force yourself to down one weight gainer protein shake a day if you're really serious about putting on some weight.

It took me more than 3 hours just to assemble it
I prefer not take any supplement, I really like natural food instead.

But I'm going to try to select which food I eat to take the maximum proteins as I can.
For example in 140g of chicken (white) there are about 42g of proteins. Salmon is quite rich too in proteins, in 1/2 fillet (about 155g) there are also 42g of proteins. 
I have found a very interesting list somewhere on the net by looking for "list of high proteins food" on google.

Hey Kattie,
Thanks & welcome on the forum
I wish you reach your dream weight too. That takes a lot of effort but you seem to be on the right track (according to the ticker in your signature)
I love cakes but I can't eat them
Andre

Have you considered drinking those weight gainer shakes? An x bf of mine had a son that was soooooo very underweight and the poor kid wanted to play football but had to gain weight so we got him a weight gainer mix and had him start working out with weights and he gained the weight he needed i dont know but it might help
