Why am I losing weight with poor metabolism?
Not been able to eat properly since last couple of weeks. Have been losing weight significantly. Currently at 66 kg with 182cm height. Guessing poor metabolism and a slight constipation could be the cause.

Seems to me like you're having a problem with food and weight loss. Some possible options could be that your body is not properly digesting food which can lead to weight loss and constipation. Instead of eating large meals, try to have smaller meals more often and add plenty of fiber-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables to your diet. Besides drinking a lot of water, being active can also enhance your metabolism. See a dietitian if the situation doesn't improve.

It's good that you're staying active and trying to maintain a healthy diet. Protein supplements like Protein X can help with muscle mass and strength building, but should not replace a balanced diet.

Hi, I'm a 50-year-old female going through menopause and have gained weight. What dietary changes can I make to manage my weight and alleviate menopause symptoms?
Female | 50
It is not uncommon to gain some weight during menopause due to hormonal changes. To promote weight loss and lessen your symptoms, introduce a balanced diet. Incorporate as many fruits, greens, whole grains, and lean proteins as possible into your diet. And don't forget to refrain from drinking sugary drinks and eating foods high in saturated fats. In addition, water helps keep your body hydrated and exercise is a normal part of every day. This, in turn, can also contribute to keeping a healthy weight and stopping menopause symptoms.

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.

Simplifying fast and healthy meals, you could prepare overnight oats with fruits, veggie wraps with hummus, or yogurt with nuts.

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?
Female | 17
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.

My 10-year-old daughter has been diagnosed with a gluten intolerance. What are some kid-friendly gluten-free meal ideas that are also nutritious?

She cannot digest gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. If she consumes gluten, she may experience stomach pain, rashes, and diarrhea. However, there are plenty of nutritious and tasty foods she can enjoy, such as rice, quinoa, fruits, vegetables, beans, meats, and fish.
Some meal ideas include a rice and vegetable stir fry, a fruit and yogurt parfait for breakfast, or a turkey and vegetable sandwich on gluten-free bread for lunch. Always read labels carefully to ensure products are gluten-free.
