That's because gaining weight is often overlooked and the most common is losing
weight.

I was told that the protein drink Ensure advertises they help you gain

breakfast and lunch and eating a small dinner. I believe you can lose weight
if you want to really, just by cutting your portions and not eating after say
6 PM. since the age of 40, I haven’t wanted to gain weight. I was a skinny
kid and after high school, if I gained 10 pounds, I ate all protein and rode
my tandem bike or walked at lunch hour, and rarely ate a good hearty dinner.
so, check out Ensure. Chris said the shakes are good tasting.

This is most interesting, Chris. We see all kinds of ads on TV and in the
papers and everywhere about losing weight, and yet there is nothing on how to
gain it! I too am a little underweight, and have been trying for a long time
to put on a few pounds. When I go to visit Mom at Christmas, I do gain a
couple of pounds, and try so hard to hang unto them, but within about 2
weeks, they are gone! Of course, Christmas is a time where there is plenty of
food everywhere, and nothing to do. When I get back to routine, and on my
own, I am too busy to prepare anything for myself, or even to eat, so that
doesn't help.
I do like to cook and to eat, but I usually don't have all the ingredients I
would like, nor the time to cook, so I normally have only one meal a day,
sometimes even less than that. So that is not a good way to gain weight! I
can easily go a whole day with eating nothing at all, and yet many others
tell me they have to have something every couple hours, or they get faint. I
think that is all in their head -- we are built to last for long periods
without food, so that is a poor excuse.
During my recent move, I lost quite a bit of weight, just from working long
days and not stopping to eat much, and am slowly getting it back, but it is
about half a pound a week or longer. So it will take a lot of time to get
back to where I was!
I don't know how others do it. They seem to just get bigger and bigger, with
practically no effort, and yet I work at it so hard, and get nowhere. There
is just no justice in this world!!

it is a nutritional supplement to help increase calory intake,
something that means a lot to me and those who are constantly
underweight despite eating a generally balanced diet. We also need
food high in fat, and fortisip can help, except it is very sugary, as
you would expect from a nutritional supplement.
