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.

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.

How to reduce lower body fat??
Female | 20
To reduce fat in your hips, thighs, and buttocks, eat fewer calories than your body needs. Excess calories turn into fat. Focus on eating healthy foods like fruits, veggies, and lean proteins, and exercise regularly. Activities like walking, jogging, or biking can help burn stored fat and improve overall health.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I don't gaining weight ( really tired of myself) and I'm a footballer too...
Male | 20
If you feel tired and don’t see any increase on the scale, it could be that you’re not eating enough to fuel your body. You should eat more calories than the average person because of how much running around you do on the field. Make sure to have a lot of carbs, protein, and healthy fats in each meal so you get all the nutrients necessary for good performance. Consider creating a menu with a nutritionist that supports your energy needs.
