I want to lose weight my weight is 106 and age 16
Male | 16
You want to be healthier – that's great! At 16, weighing 106 pounds might be a concern depending on your height. Both underweight and overweight can have risks. Start with small changes like eating more fruits, and veggies, drinking water, and staying active.

The report indicates that the detailed fetal evaluation was difficult due to poor penetration of sound waves caused by a thick maternal abdomen. It is important to consult a maternal-fetal medicine specialist (MFM) or your gynecologist to discuss the results and determine if further evaluation is needed.

You might notice things like feeling drained, weak muscles, and a lack of hunger. This could happen for many reasons like not eating enough grub, having a super-fast metabolism, or even a health issue. To gain weight the right way, try loading up on more balanced meals packed with nutrients. Snack smart between meals too. And don't forget to move your body with some light exercise - it'll help build muscle.

Female | 18
You worry your weight is low. Weight loss or struggle to gain weight can have different reasons. Some common causes: not eating enough food, fast metabolism, health issues, or stress. To improve weight, try eating small meals often with a balance of proteins, carbs, and fats. Healthy snacks throughout the day help too. Staying hydrated and getting enough rest is key. If concerns persist or other symptoms arise, speak with a dietitian for evaluation and advice.

I’m looking to buying a mounjaro weight loss pen as I’m struggling to lose weight I weight 17st and I’m 5f 3in tall I’m believed that I can order this online by a pharmacy but I would like to know how safe this is before I order
Female | 36
Weight loss might be tricky sometimes, and you should be careful about the online products that promise a quick fix. Sudden weight gain is usually a result of poor eating habits or can also be caused by some medical conditions. A balanced diet and exercise are the two best things that can improve one's health and reduce the possibility of getting overweight. If you have any worries, it would be best to see a doctor to get a treatment that suits you.

Can u drink slim fast 2days after a gastric sleeve surgery??
Female | 42
After getting gastric sleeve surgery, you need to watch what you consume. Two days post-op, avoid high-calorie drinks like Slim Fast. Your stomach requires healing time. Stick to water or clear broth initially. Slim Fast could irritate and cause discomfort. Follow your doctor's advice for optimal recovery.

How to lose weight without being too skinny ?
Female | 18
Healthy weight loss involves burning fat, not muscle. Our bodies require some fat reserves for energy and warmth. Excessive thinness can cause fatigue, frailty, and illness susceptibility. To slim down properly, consume balanced meals with fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins. Incorporate regular physical activities like walking, cycling, or swimming. Avoid fad diets or skipping meals completely. Gradual and steady weight reduction is crucial. Stay hydrated by drinking ample water, and get sufficient sleep while losing weight healthily.

My body is gaining day by day instead of eating very healthy food and doing some workout
Female | 19
Hey there! Do you struggle gaining weight despite healthy eating and exercising? It's okay; sometimes metabolism slows down. Your body may not burn calories quickly. Hormonal imbalances or stress could cause it too. Make sure to get enough sleep. Drink plenty of water. Manage stress levels well. Consider consulting a dietician or trainer for personalized tips.

Female | 21
It is completely normal to want to increase weight; however, shots are not the solution. If you feel sick or unintentionally lose weight, seek medical advice immediately. Rapid loss of weight might be due to stress, sickness, or an underlying medical condition. The doctor will guide you on how to gain weight safely and healthily.

My mother is suffering from overweight. Can she have a liposuction therapy as she is in her early 50's.
Female | 49
Liposuction or literally ‘sucking out fat’ is a suboptimal therapy for OBESE patients who desire weight loss. Liposuction can be considered as a treatment option for body sculpting, or slightly overweight patients who need to shape their abdomen in a particular manner. However, if one is obese, liposuction will cause a disproportionate loss of fat over the tummy, and leave space for fat re-accumulation in the future.
There are many weight loss options for a proportionate weight loss, eg. diet, exercise, or medications.
The healthier or ‘more natural’ way to lose weight in obese patients (with a BMI of more than 30 kg/m2) is bariatric or metabolic surgery, wherein the stomach is re-sized or bypassed using keyhole surgery. This surgery causes proportionate loss of fat all over the body up to 80% of the excess body weight, over a period of 1-1.5 years. This surgery is a safe and effective option if done by a certified surgeon at a high-volume center.

I need to lose weight without exercise what do I do....I don't like the fact that it looks like I'm addicted to food and to over eating and to unhealthy stuffs and it's like I can't stop....
Female | 20
Trying to lose weight sans exercise feels tricky. An unhealthy attachment to food, mainly the not-so-good options, grows common. Excessive intake causes weight gain. Feeling unable to control your eating qualifies as a symptom of overeating. Root causes could stem from emotional eating habits, boredom, or stressful situations. To improve, practice mindful eating, monitor portion sizes, and swap in healthier edible choices.

It's natural to feel concerned about your weight, but remember that everyone's body is unique. It's important to focus on your health rather than comparing yourself to others. Visit a nutritionist or a dietitian who can guide you on a healthy diet and lifestyle.

Female | 22
Going from skinny to overweight fast can be hard on your heart. Your heart works more to pump blood everywhere. This can make you feel tired, short of breath, or chest pain. To help your heart, eat good foods and exercise often to stay at a healthy weight.

Female | 24
If you’re 24 years old and weigh 38 kilograms, it’s essential to establish why you’re underweight. You might often feel weak or get ill frequently; the problem could also be related to difficulty trying to build muscles. To put on weight in a healthy manner, it is advisable to eat more nutritious foods such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
