I've lost too much weight & can't seem to gain
I have been clean keto for 6 months now. I know most people would love to have my problem, but having reached my goal weight, 136lbs, 10 weeks ago, I find that despite raising my macros & calories to well over 2000 a day I have continued to lose weight & I am now 126lbs, which is way too thin. With carbs at 20-30g a day, that means eating huge amounts of protein & fat, far more food than I am used to. I do not want to add any refined food products, sugar or grains. I have started adding sweet potatoes & today I had some regular potatoes, boiled & chilled then reheated to make them easier to digest. I am allergic to all berries, unfortunately.
I feel fine, I walk 4-5 miles a day (no car), I do T'ai Chi every day, but I don't go to a gym. I sleep 7-9 hours a night. How can I put on weight but remain in ketosis? I am 66 yrs old, 5'8" & retired.

If you have not seen your doctor lately I think it may be wise to have a general once over and lab work. I understand you are feeling fine but weight loss can be a symptom of other problems in the body. If all checks out you could continue to adjust your macros focusing on acceptable carbs and proteins to fit your preferences.
