Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I eat healthy food on time. When I feel hungry I used to eat good quantity of food, but I am not putting weight. What could be the reason?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. I have thoroughly gone through your case and can well understand your genuine health concerns. Every person has his/her own metabolic rate of the body. Some have high metabolic rates causing high combustion of nutrients into heat, that dissipates in vain. Some diseases also cause such issues. I suggest you to test for thyroid profile, HbA1c levels (glycated hemoglobin), and fasting blood sugar levels. When you get the reports, upload them for review and I will guide you on why is this issue with you. Immunity booster foods good for you are citrus, red bell peppers, broccoli, garlic, ginger, spinach, almonds, yogurt, cashew, turmeric, green tea, berries, citrus fruits, kiwi, apples, red grapes, kale, onions, sweet potatoes, carrots, old fashioned chicken soups and shiitake mushroom. These foods have got miraculous effects on patients of this category and I have a wide variety of experience on observing improvements in my patients. Most of my patients name them as the magic foods. Also tell me your age, height, weight and waist circumference to help you in a more personalized medical way.
