Question 1

i am gaining weight but not eating that much what's going on?

Accepted Answer

Underactive thyroid: Undesired weight gain, especially despite not eating much, might be due to an underactive thyroid. Go see your family doc for simple blood test. Also ask to see a nutritionist to be sure you're actually eating properly. Don't forget that you also need to exercise so that your metabolism is at least equal if not greater than your caloric intake.

Accepted Answer

Healthy starches: The best way to lose weight is to avoid starchy carbs, so the best way to gain is to eat lots of starches, but choose relatively healthy ones like whole grains and organic potatoes.

Question 8

does i can gain weight by eating boiled rice with yougrt???

Accepted Answer

Sure: To gain weight, eat more calories.  To lose weight eat less calories. All food has calories, some more than others.  Yogurt and rice have more calories than celery and tomatoes per serving, but less calories than a serving of red meat or fried vegetables.  Why do you want to gain weight? If you are not lifting weights intensively you add  fat, not muscle, which no one needs!

Question 9

help please! is eating a lot of sugar a decent way to gain weight?

Accepted Answer

No: My first response is why do you want to gain weight?   If you are very thin a metabolic issue should be ruled out.  If you have decreased appetite and/or decreased food intake your anorexia should be evaluated.  If you are looking to increase your caloric intake to gain weight, increase your overall calories but eat a well balanced diet.   A nutritionist may help.  Good luck.

Question 10

please give advice on how to stop eating to lose weight you gained?

Accepted Answer

Don't "stop" eating: If you stop eating (fast) or don't eat enough of the the right types of foods, your weight loss will slow os vanish. Successful weight loss usually takes a commitment to choose the right foods in the appropriate portions, combined with adequate sleep, stress control and enough exeriise (aerobics and resistance exercises).  No magic bullet! consider appetite control medications with a physician.
