Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
You need to be further assessed by a dietitian, who will take a detailed history of your caloric intake on any given day, the history of your weight variations over the years, physical activity, and other body measurements like height, waist circumference, and percentage of lean mass and body fat. Possible underlying diseases such as hyperthyroidism (over active thyroid gland) or anorexia nervosa also need to be investigated and ruled out. Subsequently, an appropriate dietary plan consolidated with physical activity and high calorie drink should be devised for you.
