I have a terminal disease between emphysema, asthma and who know. Before anyone wonders, it's a very rare congenital birth defect, and not caused by smoking, so telling me to quit smoking wont help, since i dont. Anyways, I have been trying to use edibles to increase food intake. I just checked this morning and I have lost 2 pounds since a few weeks ago. I am currently sitting at 6'0 and 140 pounds. I do workout and hike a lot, usually every day, and I eat small meals here and there, and the occasional biscuit. But nothing seems to be kicking up my weight, so now I'm at a loss on what to do. I've gotten skinny enough that most people i know have tried force feeding me food, but even that doesn't do much.

The problem is interesting, since I essentially have a refeed syndrome im trying to get around. If i eat a normal, standard meal, i will get incredibly sick for the rest of the day, diarhea, nausea. If i dont eat, my body feels natural and healthy. I tried a carnivore diet, and that was awful, since meat is too lean, so my body loved it, but i wasnt getting anything but protein. The end result is that i went from 175 pounds to 140 in around 3 months, which concerned my doctors. They told me to eat a pizza, and I can kind of eat a pizza, but only in limited times and in moderation, to avoid getting sick

Maybe the problem is that smoking doesn't make lose weight, but it prevents you from gaining weight, also don't touch coffee, or cigarettes, nor marijuana or any other drug, and don't exercise too much, with that you will gain weight quickly.

I never got an appetite from edibles as much as smoking weed. Not sure if using a vaporizer is a better option. Look up what makes food hyperpatable. Carbs (simple or refined), fat, salt. Think cake and icecream, cookies, brownies. Try adding butter or sugar to whatever food. This is like anti health advice for fat people but it might work for someone too skinny. Add bbq sauce to meat ect.
