My husband is 82 & is losing weight he doesn't need to lose. He's otherwise in good health. He doesn't eat wheat or sugar (except an occasional treat), has perfectly normal bg & blood pressure, but he simply isn't eating enough to keep his weight up.

I cram as much fat into his diet as I can, but it has to be "hidden" as he doesn't care for the taste of most fats. He does like the coconut oil/peanut butter fat bombs I make for him & he adds creamed coconut & heavy cream to his daily oatmeal. The oatmeal is one of the things he doesn't want to give up, but his serving size is smaller by at least half of what he used to eat. I make our own salad dressings - he doesn't like the olive oil based ones, so I usually make ranch for him. We eat fatty meats & I add butter to almost everything.

I know I haven't covered everything, but any suggestions to keep him healthy & to stop losing weight?
