Question:
" I've been suffering from a weight issue for some time now. The problem is not the usual. My doctor recently told me that I am heavily underweight and I may be suffering from anorexia. I'm on a food plan now but I was wondering if you could give suggestions on how to increase my body weight in a healthy manner. Nothing vague like eat fatty or oily food. Thank you."
Answer:
Hi,
Anorexia nervosa is a complex eating disorder with three key features:
a. refusal to maintain a healthy body weight
b. intense fear of gaining weight
c. a distorted body image
Because of your dread of becoming fat or disguisted with how your body looks, eating and mealtimes may be very stressful. And yet, what you can and can't eat is practically all you can think about.
Thoughts about dieting, food, and your body may take up most of your day-leaving little time for friends, family, and other activities you used to enjoy. Life becomes a relentless pursuit of thinness and going to extremes to lose weight.
But no matter how skinny you become, it's never enough.
In her case, she mentioned she was underweight and was on a food plan. I obviousely don't know how severe her anorexia is, or if it's bad at all, but I found this really good food plan that people say it works.
Note: This food plan helps you add weight and not loose weight. It is a healthy food plan and is tested by professionals.
