PKD DIET

Gain Weight

Try to eat six times a day. With each meal include a protein, a starch, vegetables, and fat. Almond yogurt, almond ice cream, or a protein shake such as one made with hemp seed or pea protein powder can increase your calories. These can be added to almond milk and juice. Do not drink ensure or drink supplements that have been commercially prepared. One can also try to build muscle by working out at the gym. Muscle weighs more than fat. Exercise may also stimulate your appetite. Prepare oatmeal with almond milk instead of water. Drink fluids following a meal to make more room for food. Ask your doctor for a referral to a registered dietician to help you gain weight.

Eating microwaved food creates hunger. It is devoid of many nutrients. Though one is putting calories into the body, the microwaved food has a minimal of nutrients. This creates a hunger for more food. Eating sugars, concentrated sugars opens up the appetite bypassing the satiety center, the feeling of fullness center. Eating any sugar or food with added sugars will cause a weight gain. Combining grains or starches together with proteins also will cause a weight gain.
