I can testify to the effects of losing weight in hospital when you are thin. I was born with a heart defect and needed open heart surgery to replace my aortic valve when I was 60. Due to eating low carb Paleo for several years and weight lifting, I was very lean and very fit, good muscles, when I went into hospital. The week in hospital following surgery I found it difficult to eat due to pain and side effects of pain meds and I lost so much weight - I could see my body "eating” away my muscles, it was dreadful. Now, ten years later, I’ve still not regained all the weight I lost. So the question is how does someone gain weight on low carb Paleo so their body has a little padding and resources (for surgery and hospital) ? I eat a lot of protein with added fat.
The easy answer to the 'How do I gain weight' question is: Eat carbs. But it's not the healthful answer. I would recommend the protein and fat diet combined with resistance exercise, which will increase muscle mass as quickly as it can be done. Make sure to get a couple of meals with 40 g of protein a day. These need to come from foods of animal origin to get the 2-3 grams of leucine to kick off mTOR.
As to the book...probably early next year. It's a process.
