Does anyone have experience with too much weight loss and an inability to put it back? I am type 2 well controlled with diet on no meds I have lost quite a bit of weight and muscle fat - too much really and now although I am eating more I just can't increase my weight.

What is your diet like, currently? If you're controlling your BGs by low-carb diet, Dr. Bernstein recommends making incremental increases in the amount of protein you eat to gain weight.

How are your blood sugars running? If your numbers are high, that can cause you to lose weight & there's not much you can do except get them under control.

Try resistance training i.e. go to a gym and lift weights.

Just noticed....no meds you said.

Hmmm....eat larger portions of food at mealtimes.
