My BMI is in the underweight category. GP not too bothered yet. Be nice to gain a bit if I can.

GP is monitoring it but seems not to be too bothered. My blood pressure is low too. GP is more impressed about it than I am. If a metal spike embedded in my skull, would cure me, then i'm up for it.

I have never made 9.5 stone, not even when pregnant. I guess I am naturally slim. I sympathise with you, its not easy when your body doesn't function properly. Be great if blood donation could help us out.

No.

I am underweight, BMI 17.9 and do have an neurological/immune illness that doesn't help. Can you donate fat cells? I could do with a transplant. Have a great time skiing, that should burn a few calories.

Already eating loads. Mainly Fruit and veg, chicken or beef, healthy carbs (sweet potatos, brown rice and pasta, seeded bread) nuts, dark chocolate, lots of cheese, olive oil, crisps and pretzels. Drink water, tea and some red wine. The trouble is healthy food is filling and it is hard to eat...

Oh dear 17.9 underweight.... been eating nuts and cheese. I am quite good with carbs (mainly healthy carbs) and try not to eat sugar although I have eaten chocolate and puddings lately to try and put weight on, in moderation. Thanks for advice.

My fat cells don't get much chance to be recycled. There is a lot of advice for losing weight. Any healthy ideas to put weight on? Lots of footie snacks and drinks have only helped by 4 ounces.

A study from 2008 did find that fat cells die and are replaced by new ones, no matter what weight you are. https://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/05/health/research/05fat.html
