Is 800-900 Calorie Diet Safe with BMI 52.0 at 17?

I have a bmi of 52.0, I am 17, is it safe for me to go on a 800-900 calorie a day diet if I take a multivitamin and the proper vitamin supplements? If so, for how long would it be safe?

Answered on 29th Aug '24

Your BMI at the age of 52.0 is very high for you. Only 800-900 calories of food a day can be dangerous and can cause serious health problems like fatigue, nutrient deficiencies, and muscle loss. It is not safe to even keep your calories so low. On the contrary, concentrate on developing good habits such as consuming balanced meals and exercising regularly. If you are thinking of bringing changes to your diet, it is good to consult a doctor or dietitian to create a safe and effective plan for weight loss.

I heard that drinking lemon water in the morning can help with digestion and weight loss. Is there any truth to this, and are there any other simple dietary changes that can have a big impact on my health?

Male | 25

Lemon water is a good source of Vitamin C due to its citric acid content. This vitamin helps the body absorb iron more easily. Drinking lemon water can aid in weight loss by promoting hydration and reducing calorie intake. To shed extra pounds, try eating more fruits and vegetables, cutting back on sweetened beverages, and replacing refined grains with whole grains. These changes can improve your health, aid digestion, and help maintain a healthy weight.

My toddler has severe food allergies. How can I ensure he gets a balanced diet while avoiding allergens, and what are some safe, nutritious alternatives?

Female | 33

A diet that is complete and free from allergens is essential. Milk, eggs, soy, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish are the most commonly found allergens. It is important to search for other alternatives that are safe and nutritious, such as fruit, vegetables, rice, quinoa, beans, and meats. A dietitian can support you in developing a customized meal plan to make sure your child gets all the necessary nutrients. It is also necessary to monitor the symptoms of rashes, stomachache, vomiting, and shortness of breath that might appear after consuming food. If you recognize any of these symptoms, the advice is to stop feeding them that food and to contact an allergist for further testing and evaluation.

Can i take creatine and whey protein after getting tb

Male | 21

After contracting TB, it is important to be cautious if you are using creatine and whey protein. These supplements can put undue stress on your body, which is still in recovery. It is better to wait until you have made a full recovery and your doctor has given you clearance before integrating them into your meal plan. Focus on strengthening your body through natural foods rather than relying solely on supplements.
