I am an 18-year-old male. My height is 6.2 feet, and my weight is 180 lbs. I was on a diet for six months earlier when I was 242 lbs. Now I have lost 59 lbs in six months. I am leaving my diet because I am feeling very tired. I think my body is in a nutritional deficiency state. I exercise a lot, but I want to gain muscle mass. I want to get rid of my belly fat, and I want to maintain my weight. I want to get a balanced diet with nutrition, minerals, and vitamins that the body needs to function better. I want a lean body with muscle mass. I want to feel very healthy.
