A member asked:

How to gain weight i can't have dairy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Carefully: Be very careful gaining weight deliberately because you may give yourself a lifetime of difficulty losing it. You are just at the age when your metabolism should naturally slow down & you will gain weight anyway. Eat a good amount of fruits & vegetables. Easy on the carbs (potatoes, bread, pasta, rice.) avoid straight sugar or starch. Daily moderate exercise to shape and keep heart safe.

Ate a lot of dairy today. (Greek yogurt, turkey club with cheese, chicken melts, and PB&J Sandwich). Am I at risk for pancreatitis? I'm at a healthy weight, not diabetec, and don't drink alcohol. I'd appreciate some feedback. Thanks?
