How to gain back the weight?

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Gaining Weight: Eat healthy foods that are high in calories. Eat six meals per day. Work on strength training to build your large muscle groups. Work out with heavier weights with fewer repetitions. Sleep at least 8 to 9 hours per night. Hydrate well with water.
