Specializes in Adolescent Medicine

Weight gain: A 6 kg weight gain in such a short time is mostly water. Think of a towel. Weigh it dry. Then dip it in water and weigh it. It will have "gained" a lot of weight. The weight you gained so rapidly must have been mainly water, not muscle or fat or bone.
