Ahhh.....I see! Thank you for the clarification! I wonder what foods she should be eating then since she can't do carbs. Things like avocados & salmon?

YES! And nuts are low in glycemic index and are gluten free (when they are not dry roasted or flavored) and high in good fats, as well as dairy products and legumes. Even if she just ate a lot more in quantity of what she already does eat. She really can gain some fat if she has a higher caloric input than is her caloric output. Carbs increase a person's fat on their body only because the human body does burn fat after it is done burning the carbs we eat. After it burns the carbs (which it will ALWAYS burn instead of fat), it goes straight to burning muscle after that. It skips right over the fat. Now if there are no carbs being eaten, the body will go straight for the fat to burn. So, not only do carbs get deposited as fat after they are eaten and not utilized (if more carbs are being eaten than are needed), but carbs also act essentially as a fat-burn blocker!!! But, one can also gain fat from having too high levels of glucose, which is avoided by nsas's low glycemic index diet. All of her foods minimize the "spiking" of glucose levels, which minimizes the possibility of having more glucose in one's system than one needs (and therefore, do not get to store any as fat! Since glucose is only stored as fat when there is more glucose than the body needs to utilize at the moment in time... just as the left-over carbs are stored as fat as well). Therefore, she will just need to eat A LOT MORE of these kinds of foods in order to increase her caloric intake to be more than what her body needs, so that she can store some of it as fat.
I hope that was helpful and doesn't confuse anyone!

You are so well-informed, thank you for sharing! I did not know that our body will burn the carbs before fat. Good to know! I eat a lot of carbs. They give me great energy. I have no clue what field you're in but it seems like nutritionist or personal trainer would fit you perfectly!
