I'll try your diet suggestion. Maybe smaller, more frequent meals will help. I just want to avoid carbs altogether, yet I crave them so much. I'll probably stick to healthy fats.

My middle son is on a "diet" to try to gain weight. He's one of those people who is just naturally skinny as a rail, no matter how much he eats. So he's done a lot of research about changing his eating habits to gain weight in a healthy manner. It is working some and he really is eating healthier.
