Answered on 3rd July '24
Being an obese teenager and addicted to alcohol at an early age can result in severe health problems. Conditions such as too much weight gain, feeling unwell constantly, and finally, what is more, having to crave alcohol a lot are frequent. Poor eating habits, lack of exercise, and feelings are the three most common reasons for this problem. What will help is directing these young people toward the right path. It is important to attend the first consultation with a healthcare professional who will provide you with proper guidance to choose healthier food, help you with managing alcohol addiction, and suggest suitable treatment options.

Female | 19
Many people worry about their body weight. One issue is not getting periods each month. This is not normal for girls and women. It means something might not be working right in the body. The best move is to see a doctor or nurse. They can find out the cause and give you the right care. With good treatment, your periods may start again. Then your weight may be reduced to a healthy level in a safe way.

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.

Hi. I'm a 24 year old male from the UK. I have been dealing with severe brain fog, shortness of breath, palpitations, forgetfulness and I am very obese (200kg). I am very concerned about the fatigue as it's not like me to feel like this. I got a blood test and vitals checked last month and everything is normal except I have mild LVH caused by my weight and my doctor isn't really that concerned. She just said I can reverse it by losing weight, I also have severe iron deficiency without anaemia as my haemoglobin is normal but my iron serum level is 5.4. My vitamin D levels are also very low. My concerns right now is I'm starting to feel stupid everyday and the fatigue is really concerning me. Can you give me some advice please?

Female | 17
Increased body weight is most often seen in symptoms such as low energy levels, breath difficulties, and joint pain. Some possible factors are a poor diet and insufficient physical activity. To shed some pounds, practice eating more fruits and vegetables, drink water, and exercise more often. As for height, please remember that it is mainly hereditary; however, stretching exercises may provide great results.

Female | 21
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.

Female | 25
To gain weight in a healthy way, focus on eating more nutritious, calorie-dense foods like nuts, seeds, and whole grains. Regular exercise, especially strength training, can also help build muscle mass. It is best to consult a dietitian or nutritionist to create a personalized plan.

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.

I m 38 year old 94 kg height 5 ft gaining weight very fast suffering from PCOD not getting any solution no workout n diet is working
Female | 38
It sounds like you’re experiencing challenges related to weight gain and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which can often be linked to hormonal imbalances. Symptoms may include irregular periods, fatigue, and difficulty managing weight. A balanced approach, including dietary adjustments and physical activity, is crucial; consider working with a nutritionist or fitness expert. Additionally, stress management techniques may help. I advise seeing a gynecologist who can evaluate your situation and suggest tailored treatments, such as medication or specific lifestyle changes.

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.

It's important to focus on a balanced diet rich in proteins, healthy fats, and carbohydrates. Regular meals and snacks can help, along with strength training exercises to build muscle. Please consult a dietitian for a personalized plan and a doctor to rule out any underlying health issues.

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.
