I would stop this for a while. Too much polyunsaturated fat. Try replacing
these calories with saturated fat whether from animal fat, eggs (not the
special omega-3 ones -- just regular organic) or coconut oil. Simultaneously, try
lowering your protein intake a bit and definitely keep carbs (even berry
carbs) low. I realize there is much disagreement over the omega-3/polyunsaturated
fat issue on this board, but since you are gaining and not losing fat, it
couldn't hurt to try a different approach for say 2 weeks to see if it gets things
moving in the right direction. Bottom line: Replace polyunsaturated fat
with saturated fat where possible. Don't just glop on saturated fat on top of
what you are eating now -- the idea is to replace some of the polyunsaturated
fat calories with saturated fat calories. Lower protein a bit -- this is
especially important if you have been eating unlimited quantities of protein as a
free food. I do not mean eat low protein, just don't think of it as a "free"
food that you can gorge on. Keep carbs low -- keep berries to a minimum. Last
tip -- buy quality loose darjeeling oolong tea (blend of black and green) and
drink after meals. good luck!
