I am a thin person but I eat much .what I do?
Jul 21, 2014
2nd opinion

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
First thing to do is to figure if this condition happen for a medical cause ,certain medical conditions that may cause the problem are
-gastrointestinal problems
-hormonal problems
-celiac disease ( intolerance to Gluten)
-thyroid problems
-parasites
-inflammatory bowel disease.....
if you have other symptoms beside blood tests can confirm a diagnose (check your thyroid ,hyperthyroidism may contribute to high metabolism ,eating much but burning much and being thin ,you will have too palpitations ,sweating ,being warm and hot ,maybe diarrhea ,...)
if no cause you can try changing your diet ,maybe you eat much but with low caloric intake you need to increase your weight ,excercise to gain muscles .
these are certain tips :

1- Eat and eat often. While everyone should abide by this rule, it is especially true for those who are trying to gain weight. Eating often means eating five to six small meals a day and packing in those nutrients.
This doesn't mean eating junk food and sugars, it means lots of protein and carbs.

2- Eat the right kind of fats. You want a bigger, healthier looking body; not a thin frame with a bit of a paunch. Maximise the avocados, dairy products, nuts (including peanut butter), and meats; stay away from ice cream, fries and fatty junk foods.

3- Go high-protein. Though it's a myth that protein builds muscle,Protein-rich foods include meat, cheese, milk, fish, and eggs. For vegetarians, protein can be found in soy products such as tofu as well as in combinations of foods, such as rice or corn with beans.

4- Layer on the carbs. Though they get a bad rap, carbs, too, help build muscle and facilitate all of your vital functions, brown rice, pasta, potatoes and whole grains fall into the approved category.

5- Snack at night.

6- Exercise to gain weight, and gain muscles and after workout eat a protein meal to benefit and have bigger muscles.

if still thin try to contact a doctor for further tests and some medicines .
