No bothers! ;) Here are my 2 cents. Perhaps other skinny members will have other useful suggestions.
Have more rations of the what is indicated in the diet, but on average, on the same ratio, that is, make sure to have enough protein, healthy carbs (i.e. vegetables and some fruit, whole rice) and healthy fats. Although if you're doing an anti-candida diet, you'll have to limit your fruit intake, the whole rice and starchy foods. If you are not allergic to nuts, you can snack on them.
You might not gain weight, but at least you won't loose weight, what is important is that you eat healthy to help your body heal itself.
About healthy fats...
Unlike omega 6s, saturated fats are complete in their molecular structure and this density gives saturated fats their stability (they don't get rancid that easily). As a reminder, studies generally have shown no association between the consumption of saturated fat and the risk of coronary ("heart") death. The "cholesterol myth" had made us believe that fats are evil, when it is actually the fats that they introduced as a "healthier option" the ones that are super evil: margarine and vegetable oils which are high in unhealthy omega 6s.
You can safely cook with saturated fat because it "holds up" at high heats, unlike vegetable oils.
For example, after a couple of weeks in the Ultra simple diet, you can re-introduce butter and if you tolerate it, you can add butter to your spinach or other veggies. The fat will help you to absorb the vitamins in the spinach. Butter has plenty of vitamins, minerals and amino acids, other than the fat. One of butter's fats is "butyrate", which is a fatty acid that serves as a base for making GABA (gamma amino butyric acid), a calming brain chemical. If you can't tolerate butter, have ghee butter, which might be even better.
Coconut milk is another option (if you tolerate it), it is a saturated fat. Coconut fat is antiviral and antifungal and it is a bit more stable and saturated.
Another possibility is bacon fat, if you tolerate it.
Olive oil is mainly omega 9, which is also consider stable, it has a little saturated fat and almost no omega 6s. Omega 9s are considered very supportive of the super healthy omega 3s.
Eating healthy fat doesn't necessarily equals gaining weight... In my case, it has stabilized my weight and it keeps me satisfied, like I actually ate something. That doesn't happen when I eat quinoa, where I feel like I ate "air", I prefer whole rice, which is more satisfying for my tummy.
Oh, remember to have your omega 3 supplements as well, that will make your healthy fats complete.

. bleah! I believe so long as the supplements are in there, you can play with the amount of liquid. Maybe the flax oil is too strong-tasting also. There are varieties that are milder in flavour just like olive oils. I tried to add oregano oil to my shake (for candida) and couldn't handle the taste. I started with way too much. After being on it for a while now, I plan to try again, but only one or two drops!
(though that's not exactly the same version as Laura gave). So I don't mind at all taking it, with raspberries or bananas or peaches.
Because of this I am determined to stay as closely on the various dietary changes as I can. I have never been one that wants gourmet dishes and have basically only eaten to fill me up - except when I had the sweet tooth. I did look for sweet things all of the time. I am very happy that that is done with.
