How are you a drinking things? If you are not hungry at mealtime try a smoothie or a protein shake.

Not a practical solution but moving to SE Louisiana did it for me.

For my patients who need to gain weight, or who have difficulty eating for whatever reason we usually recommend a liquid dietary supplement such as Boost. When I was pregnant and throwing up so much that I was losing weight (not what you want to do when you are pregnant) I tried it (and threw it up again). It didn't taste great (in either direction), but then, nothing did when I was pregnant.
This being said, there are many people who are naturally and healthfully a slimmer build. I'm going to jump on the medical professional train here and say "Eat right and exercise" and your body should gravitate toward a weight that is, for you and your unique biological make up, the correct one, even if it is not perhaps the one that you would necessarily wish it to be. A general rule of thumb for "eat right" is that half of your plate should be vegetables, a quarter whole grains and another quarter protein in whatever form you chose to consume it. A general rule of thumb for exercise is that your heart should be above it's base rate for about 30 minutes approximately three times a week.

There was a huge fad for yeast-eating from the twenties thru the forties - the most common way to take it was to eat the little square cakes of moist Fleischmann's Yeast you can still find in the refrigerator case at the grocery store. The idea was that yeast was high in B vitamins, so there was a bit of real science behind it, but mostly it was a marketing scheme to sell more yeast: "Eat three cakes daily! You'll feel better, your skin will clear up, you'll have more pep!" What they don't tell you is that you'll burp constantly and will smell like a brewery.

Ironized Yeast and other similar products like Yeast Foam were simply yeast compressed into tablet form, with IY having a small amount of iron added. It wouldn't kill you, but it wouldn't give you anything you couldn't get from eating a hamburger, either.

When my younger sister was little she had the strangest penchant for yeast. If you didn't watch her when we were baking she'd eat as much as she could get away with. We were always worried she'd eat too much and get sick...
