How To Gain Weight?
Hello Doctor,
I'm a 21 year old boy with a height of 174 cms and 48 kg weight.
My main problem is the weight deficiency itself. I have consulted a doctor for the same and he replied that i have some symptoms of Marfan's syndrome and the weight loss may be due to that.
He also added that it is impossible to gain the weight and fatty body ( I'm very lean) , whatever I consume.
Doctor, what should I do to gain the weight and a beautiful body?? These problems prevents me from getting a nice job too..I am getting rejected from everywhere due to my lean body and weight deficiency.
So please give me a solution doctor.
Thanking you,
Sreeku

Hello,
Thank you for writing to HCM
I would advice you to take few tests: cbc, thyroid function test.
I advice you to take Tab.Albendazole 1 tablet (for de-worming)
Take multivitamin tablet daily once for next 3 months.
Eat small frequent meals. Do not skip your meals.
Take 2 eggs daily. If you are vegetarian take a cup of curd and 1 banana after meals. Eat handful of nuts as snacks.
Eat sprout salad. And take calorie rich fruits such as mango, grapes.
Do not worry you will put on weight slowly.
Consult your general physician with test reports for further management.
Regards.
