skinny!

Hi --
By introduction I'm 75 and APOE4. I've been on the protocol fairly strictly for about 5 years and sinking slowly. That means I have more trouble being consistent, I have a highly social family and friends, so it is difficult to maintain the diet in social occasions but I do m best. My worst non-habit is not doing the brain training and I know I need to make an appointment with myself! But aside from that, I have lost so much weight -- I dropped 20 lbs when I was diagnosed and as I get older, I feel and LOOK like a SCARECROW. And I live in a warm climate so it's no fun to cover up.
Reading through the forum, I did read "you can almost drink EVOO so I'll do more of that. I use it on salads and avocados and avocado oil for cooking but I'll increase it. I put MCT oil in my morning coffee. I snack on 90-plus chocolate, and I eat keto-friendly food when I've checked the ingredients and fat percentage. Nuts give me diarrhea so I limit those pretty strictly. I do exercise; I do weight training with a trainer twice a week and I'm getting PT for low bone density in my back and hips.
Any suggestions for weight gain would be appreciated! Thanks for this forum!
