Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 23 years old. My diet is normal, but my body is not growing proportionately. Only my stomach is growing. My BMI is 28.14. What should I do for it?

Answered by Dr. Mohammad Aamir

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. You have mentioned your body mass index (BMI) which is 28.14 and is normal in this age group. To remain healthy, you should start doing morning walk and join a gym if you want to build your muscles. Also, you should start eating more protein in your diet like egg, chicken and soybean. Try to eat mostly at home and not outside. This will also help in keeping yourself in good shape. Do you drink or smoke? If yes then you should reduce it.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I would like to build muscle, so started eating for every two to three hours normal meal. But, only my stomach has increased and nothing else. This started around two months back. What should I do? I am a pure vegetarian. Can you suggest me some other diet for strong muscle?

Answered by Dr. Mohammad Aamir

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. You should start eating paneer, soybean, more of pulses at least once in your meal per day and drink two glasses of milk. You should sleep at least eight hours in night as it is very important for good health. Stop eating fatty and fried food like pizza, burger and samosa.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
