Question 1

I'm a 17-year-old girl, and I've been struggling with being very thin and weak. I've tried so many ways to gain weight and even make sure to have my meals on time. But nothing seems to change; my weight is always the same. I really want to put on a little weight and become a bit healthier. Can you give me some trusted advice on how I can gain weight easily and quickly?

Accepted Answer

To gain weight healthily, focus on consuming more calories than you burn; try: eating smaller, frequent meals, incorporating calorie-dense foods like nuts, dried fruits, avocados, and full-fat dairy products, adding healthy fats and oils to your meals, strength training exercises to build muscle mass, and consider consulting a registered dietitian or nutritionist for personalized guidance.

Question 2

I've recently lost some weight and I'm trying to get back to my ideal weight, which is between 56 to 62 kg. I'm about 5'10". Can you suggest an easy diet to follow, preferably something vegetarian and South Indian? I don't mind eating non-veg outside a couple of times a week. Any tips would be helpful!

Question 3

I've been trying to work on reducing my fat and losing weight, so I started drinking lemon and honey with water. I'm not sure when the best time is to drink it. I usually have it after brushing my teeth and using the toilet in the morning. Is that right, or should I be drinking it before brushing and using the toilet? Can you help me figure this out?

Accepted Answer

It is generally recommended to drink lemon and honey water on an empty stomach, ideally before brushing your teeth and using the toilet. This allows for better absorption of the nutrients and may help in weight loss. So, it would be better to drink it before brushing and using the toilet in the morning.

I'm a strict vegetarian and just got my vitamin B12 test results back showing 242 pgml. Is that considered a normal range or is it low? I'm really concerned about maintaining my levels. Could you suggest what vegetarian foods might help boost my B12?
