Some people are worried about gaining too much weight, but what about those who are concerned about - weight loss whilst on the Candida diet? Here are some sensible hints and tips for you to follow to stop this from happening!

Have you noticed? There's a lot of big people out there. But what about the skinny people? What about the people who want to gain weight who don't want to lose weight? They're out there, too. You can't see them, but they're out there. It's easy to see bigger people than skinnier people, but there's a lot of skinny people out there. 

Here's a question I got from a lady over in the States. "Eric, I'm losing weight too fast on the Candida diet. What can I do? I've lost four kilograms, which is about eight pounds." Which is about a stone. I think 6.4 kilos is a stone, so it's under a stone. "Which is great except I'm a very thin person to begin with and I ended up skeletal even with slight modifications to the diet to keep in some carbohydrates. If you could add in some additional comments for those who the weight is falling off quickly, that would be very beneficial."

Okay all you skinny people out there. First of all, why don't you take a bit of weight from the bigger people. That's going to solve your problem, isn't it? It's going to kill two birds with one stone. The fatty's will get skinnier and the skinnies will get fatty. It would be so easy if we could do that kind of swap, wouldn't it? But it doesn't work like that. 

A big part of my clinic is to try to get people's metabolic rates working optimally. The metabolic rate is what your body is going to do with the food you eat. It's either going to keep you in a normal state like it is with me. It's either going to make you too big or your metabolism will make you too skinny. Metabolic rate is governed by a whole bunch of different factors. Genetics, personality, diet, environment, stress levels, all sorts of things will make up how quickly you gain weight and how quickly you lose weight. A great way to lose weight is to be a person with anxiety like my mother was. Those people can eat like a horse. They can eat thousands of calories. They can't gain an ounce of weight. Isn't it weird?

Then you get the other people that are too laid back. They don't have so much anxiety. They tend to be much more laid back and easy going kind of person. They're gaining weight far too quick. They say, "I've got a girlfriend and she can eat all day. I only have to look at food and I gain weight."

What are the secrets? How do you actually gain weight when you're skinny? The first things I probably ask of you if you're a very skinny person, are you a relaxed person? Do you have the ability to be able to sit down and relax and move more slowly and speak more slowly and take your time doing things and not be in a hurry and find my rate of speech most irritating because it's too slow for your mind? 

Are you getting the point? If you get irritated by other people, if you bump into people all the time or run up and down stairs, if you move quick, if you drive your car very fast, if you get very impatient with people, if you've got lists of jobs to do and then lists of lists of lists of jobs to do, maybe you suffer a little bit from anxiety. Maybe you need to slow that anxiety down a little bit by doing some nice relaxed controlled breathing. These are the unseen things that help you to gain weight.

I get at least one patient per day like this. He's very underweight. He's got high anxiety. Tends to be a little bit on the hypothyroid or hyper adrenal side. She or he may well have a high cortisol rate and oftentimes they've got many different issues with their health as well. Many will have fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, digestive issues. How the heck do you gain weight if you're skinny, if you can't relax? 

It's not easy. It's not easy to do so. But I certainly encourage you to have larger portion sizes or meals more regularly, particularly to sit down and slow down and relax a lot more. This is the key thing for skinny people from my clinical experience. They just need to slow down and relax a lot more. This alone, will enable you to gain a couple of pounds a month just by doing that one thing.

Let's just say that you're very relaxed, easy going person whose very skinny. I've yet to meet one of those people. I see them but very rarely. People that are really, chilled, relaxed, easy going, very skinny, lose weight very rapidly. They exist, but they're very, very rare. In those situations, I like to do a thyroid function test, a salivary cortisol test to look at their stress hormones and look what the heck's going on. Usually people that burn weight really quick that can't gain weight fast in spite of a high calorie diet eating the right foods, need to slow down.
