Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 21 years old. My body weight is 110.2 lbs only. What can I do to increase my body weight?
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
It is advisable to calculate your body mass index (BMI).
If your BMI falls within range 20-25 then no need to gain weight.
However, to increase weight you can eat more fatty foods and a more protein diet. Muscle building with active exercise and a more protein diet will be beneficial in increasing weight and maintaining the shape of the body.
You can do the gym under the guidance of a good trainer.
Kindly consult a specialist doctor, talk with them, and take proper guidance.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
