A doctor has provided 1 answer
Healthy Weight Gain: I recommend beginning with your family physican who will calculate your body mass index and deterimine if you are in the healthy range. Your physician will then help you determine any medical or lifestyle causes for the weight issue. She can rule out thyroid disease, and other conditions which interfere with the metabolism.
