I'm turning 26 this November, and I've always been underweight. I'm really trying to gain weight, but I just don't have much of an appetite. I eat a little and feel full quickly. My weight is around 45 kgs, which seems quite low for someone my age. Could you help me with this issue?

I'm carrying around an extra 15 kilograms and I'd really like to shed that weight. Can you help me figure out the right diet plan to follow for losing these extra kilos? Is there something specific in my eating habits I should be adjusting?

Avoid processed foods and prefer whole wheats. Restrict sugar intake and fried foods to a minimum. Use an app or counter to measure your daily calorie intake and try to maintain a calorie deficit for each day. Find a sport which you enjoy, such as badminton or yoga, and engage in physical activity for at least 150 minutes every week. Consult a dietician to work out a sustainable diet plan.

I'm working night shifts and I'm struggling with my weight. I usually sleep around 5 a.m., and I've been losing weight. Could you suggest a diet or any tips to help me stabilize my weight while working such hours?

Night shift work can disrupt metabolism and appetite. To maintain weight and energy, consider: Dietary Recommendations 1. Eat nutrient-dense foods: Focus on whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. 2. Hydrate adequately: Drink plenty of water throughout the night shift. 3. Balance macronutrients: Aim for 15-20% protein, 25-35% fat, and 55-65% carbohydrates. 4. Snack smart: Choose energy-boosting snacks like nuts, fruits, and energy bars. 5. Avoid heavy meals: Eat light meals 2-3 hours before work to prevent indigestion. Meal Ideas 1. Breakfast (pre-shift): Overnight oats, whole-grain toast with avocado, or Greek yogurt with fruit. 2. Mid-shift snack: Fresh fruits, energy bars, or trail mix. 3. Dinner (post-shift): Grilled chicken or fish with vegetables, quinoa, or brown rice. 4. Before bed snack: Herbal tea with honey or a light, easily digestible snack. Additional Tips 1. Establish a consistent sleep schedule. 2. Exercise regularly, but avoid intense workouts before shifts. 3. Manage stress through relaxation techniques. 4. Limit caffeine and sugary drinks.
