Kieu Nhi in Tan Binh District, Ho Chi Minh City talked about her miserable misery: "1.5m high, 39kg heavy, my people dry like fish sauce. Everywhere I look with pity eyes. People having a round body, it was a brutal: "Oh my god, if I give you a few kilos, how good would it be?" The man who had a husband advised: 'Girls must have skin with a bit of flesh, so beautiful, too skinny is fine.'". During the day, she was so poor that she also had to eat and drink to improve her physique, but it was strange, the food went everywhere, the more she was . sick.

Not only young girls, married friends also face the "shrinkage" of the body. Ms. Nguyen confided: "When I was pregnant, I had a good appetite and signed up quite quickly. But somehow, by the time I finished weaning for my child, my mother returned to the original" status ", 1.58m high. weighs 44kg ".

The body of a girl, eating nostalgically and not gaining weight, made To Nhu make a decision: to take medicine to gain weight. She said: "Taking the medicine, I ate up to four bowls of instant rice. Sadly, since the drug was discontinued, my weight also decreased!".

In order to have a chubby body, the skinny guys also teach each other how to eat and gain weight. And the way they usually choose is to do the opposite of what nutrition experts guide overweight people like: eating late, eating foods high in sugar, fat .

During the selection of weight-gain "recipes", Ms. Nga chose the following formula: each meal added a cup of milk and a piece of cheese. At night, eat sandwiches and snacks. After applying this method for a while, Ms. Nga shook her head: "It is easy to say, but I have to eat for a month and then get bored to the neck, look at the food but feel numb because . difficult to swallow".

The thin, weak "attack" every age, gender and there are many causes of thinness. The first is eating inadequate nutrients. Dr. Nguyen Thi Minh Kieu - Ho Chi Minh City Nutrition Association, instructs how to calculate as follows: light labor (rest, conversation .), body "spend" 25 Kcal / day / 1kg weight. For example, you weigh 50 kg, the energy consumption is 1,250 Kcal / day. Average labor (office workers), body calories need to be 30 Kcal / day / 1kg weight. Heavy labor (mainly manual work, heavy walking), body energy is 35 Kcal / day / 1kg weight.

This energy should be supplied at a rate of 15% - 20% protein (meat, fish .), 20% - 25% fat (found in foods: peanuts, sesame, coconut, eggs), 50% - 55% of sugar powder (rice, noodles, noodles, cakes, potatoes, fruits .). On this basis, people build rations for people who want to increase or lose weight. If your body is healthy, eat up to 500 Kcal every day (energy intake minus energy consumption), after a week it will increase by 0.5 kg, but to have a good body, you must gain weight lean block, not fat block.

According to Dr. Nguyen Thi Minh Kieu, it is wrong to want to gain weight but to reverse the advice for obese people. Need to avoid increasing empty energy, ie use only sugar, flour, fat without vitamins, minerals. Avoid eating at night, because energy that is not consumed by movement will turn into fat accumulated in the internal organs. This accumulation in the long run will be the premise of chronic diseases, seriously affecting the quality of life.

The doctor said that in order to be healthy, eating time should be as follows: beside the three main meals, two extra meals should be strengthened at 9am and 3pm with tea, cakes, fruit Sweet trees . High-energy powders or powders for lean people only supplement and not replace main meals.

About using drugs, Dr. Nguyen Huu Duc - Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine advised, should not use drugs to stimulate appetite, because when the drug is stopped, the appetite will be alleviated and there may be dangerous complications. The best way is to find the cause of anorexia, weight loss and treatment as directed by your doctor.

Also, do not forget to remove the worms every six months, a general health check to detect some diseases that can cause weight loss (tuberculosis, stomach ulcers .). Stress also causes your body to become emaciated (when happy, food absorbs 80% - 90% but when angry, sad, worried, the absorption rate is only about 20% - 30%) .

According to nutrition experts, if you want to gain weight, the first thing to do is "trace" to cause. When finding the right cause, the new solution is effective. For example, in the case of Ms. Thanh Hien: within 2 weeks, she lost 2kg, tired, depressed. Knowing the main reason for losing weight is because the boss is too upset, full of things, and she still tries to cling to money to support her children. Trying not to be fat, Hien chose to practice Yoga. After practicing for a few months, she naturally found everything so soft . even if she was fat, she didn't care. The results are very positive. Recently, everyone praised her: "It looks so fresh."
