Weight gain: Rather than focusing on eating protein concentrate on eating carbohydrates and fats, but better yet see your doctor to see if there is a reason why you can't gain weight. At the same time he can refer you to a dietician for a proper diet.

Family practice : Check your thyroid out. A thyroid function test would be easy to do. Possibly see a GI specialist or a nutritionist do determine your bodies needs.

Cause: Need to find out why you lost weight in the first place, or why you are not gaining. Once determined, you will be more successful.
