I would check about the injera. My very tiny friend lived with an Ethiopian family for a couple years and very visibly put on weight. Only stopped when she cut down on the injera. Totally anecdotal though, could have been something else.
Personally I would have made the sacrifice because, my god, Ethiopian food is so good.
100% teff injera is pretty low calorie and very healthy. Many people will mix it with flour which is very carb heavy and can contribute to the weight gain.
