(84 posts)74. Foods to put on weight
Anything with high fat, ice cream, whipped cream, sour cream, cream cheese and butter to begin with. Chocolate lots of chocolate. Get some blue tea, made with the blue pea flower from Thailand and Indian, anything blue has cancer fighting properties. Steak is high in fat and protein. Nuts are high in fat, especially peanuts. Cheeses and donuts. Cakes and cookies. Try and eat organic. This is what they told my parents when they had cancer except the blue tea.
