The troubles of thin people,

For example, if the bed is a little hard, it will hurt to lie on it.

For example, the lines on the face make you look older...

today,

Let us tell those skinny people who are worried,

How to grow meat scientifically?

A formula to calculate the bottom line of weight

Some people are obviously overweight but still think they are thin;

Some people are already very thin, but they still shout about losing weight every day.

So, who can be considered a truly thin person?

Let’s check this formula:

Body mass index (BMI) = weight (kg) ÷ height squared (m²)

For Asian adults, a BMI below 18.5 is considered underweight.

For example, if you are 1.6 meters tall and weigh less than 47 kilograms (94 pounds), you are underweight.

However, this index does not take into account the muscle content of the human body, so it is only a reference . For example, some people may look very slim, but they are actually very healthy!

Notice!

Some people are too thin because of illness

1

Eat a lot every day + don't exercise much + BMI is too low + can't gain weight no matter what

If this happens, it is best to go to the hospital to see a doctor, especially to check the gastrointestinal function and endocrine condition.

Because some people are too thin due to illness, such as gastrointestinal problems, infection by certain viruses or parasites, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, cancer, etc., which can cause their weight to not increase or even decrease .

2

Sudden weight loss

Some people used to have a normal weight, and have not been trying to lose weight intentionally but have suddenly lost a lot of weight recently . This should be taken seriously, as it may be a sign of disease, and you should go to the hospital as soon as possible to find out the cause .

If you are sure that your low weight or lack of weight gain is caused by a disease, then after you find the cause and cure the disease, your body will slowly gain weight.

Do these 6 things and grow weight scientifically!

Excluding disease factors, if you want to grow meat scientifically, you can try eating and moving like this:

1

Three meals a day at regular times and fixed quantities

The meal time should be fixed and the amount of food should be quantified .

Eat small meals frequently and chew slowly. After all, chewing slowly helps increase the digestion, absorption and utilization rate of food.

2

Changing your mealtime routine

Eat foods with high concentration and high nutrient density first, then eat other foods, and consume more high-protein and high-energy foods . This is the secret to weight gain.

So what are foods with high concentration and high nutritional density?

Simply put, it is something more solid and nutritious .

For example, if there is a table full of dishes in front of you, you should first eat the solid beef and quail eggs, and then pair them with some vegetables!

This way, you won't be full after eating a few bites of peas.

3

Choose moderately cooked foods

Try to choose foods that are moderately cooked by steaming, stewing, boiling, braising, and stewing , and try not to eat fried, grilled, or roasted foods.

Because these things are not easy to digest, and if they are not digested, no nutrients can be absorbed!

4

Keep a good mood when eating

Keeping a happy and relaxed mood can increase appetite and promote gastrointestinal digestion and absorption.

A tense and anxious mood will not only cause a decrease in appetite, but also increase the metabolic rate, thereby consuming more calories .

5

Light exercise

Proper and regular exercise can help build muscle , such as jogging, walking, dancing and other aerobic exercises , which can increase gastrointestinal motility, increase appetite and promote food absorption. It is recommended to do it 2 to 3 times a week .

6

Weight gain exercise

For example, you can use dumbbells, levers and other large objects in the gym , and you can also do some anaerobic exercises. This type of training can increase muscle proportion. It is recommended to do it 2 to 3 times a week .

It should be noted that it is recommended to weigh yourself once a week during the weight gain period, and a weight gain of 0.5~1kg per week is more appropriate !

There is another trick to help you gain weight!

I know someone will say:

"I don't have any disease, and I've been following the above methods to eat scientifically and exercise properly, but why am I still gaining weight so slowly?

"Don't panic! In this case, it is recommended to go to the nutrition department of a regular hospital to consult a professional nutritionist . For example, the Clinical Nutrition Department of West China Hospital can customize enteral nutrition preparations according to each person's situation.

Because this enteral nutrition preparation is all powder, it is usually mixed with water or milk and used as a snack like kaokao for babies (note that it is a snack, not a staple food). It has a high nutrient density, balanced nutrition, is easy to digest, and can reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.

And because it is tailor-made, it is more targeted!
