Accepted Answer

A : A 30 lb weight gain in a 5 month period is cause for concern - especially if her diet is unhealthy. A healthy weight gain for someone her size/age trying to gain weight should only be 2-4 lbs per month.  You should give her doctor a call to discuss her weight gain.  It is likely from her diet, but it could be from a medical problem such as a thyroid disorder, or a side effect of a medication she is taking.  It is important to figure out why she has had such a rapid weight gain before the problem gets too out of control.  Good luck!
