This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 24 years old and working in IT (information technology), and my weight is 94 pounds only. I had gained weight during COVID-19 (coronavirus of 2019), but it declined. I tried everything to gain weight, but it is not working. Can you help me?

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read the query, and I can understand your concern.

Sure, here are some additional tips that may help you gain weight:

1. Eat more often: Instead of having three large meals daily, try eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day. It can help keep your metabolism active and make it easier to consume enough calories.

2. Choose high-calorie foods: Focus on consuming foods that are high in calories but also nutritious. Some examples include avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil, and nut butter.

3. Drink your calories: Adding calories to your drinks can help increase your overall calorie intake. Consider adding milk or protein powder to your smoothies or drinking whole milk instead of skim milk.

4. Lift weights: Strength training exercises can help build muscle mass, which can contribute to weight gain. Consider incorporating weightlifting or resistance training into your exercise routine.

5. Get enough sleep: Getting enough sleep is essential for overall health and can help support weight gain. Aim for seven to nine hours of sleep each night.

6. Manage stress: Chronic stress can lead to weight loss or difficulty gaining weight. Consider incorporating stress-reducing activities into your routine, such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises.

I hope this will help you.

Thank you.
