How to increase the body weight?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a 20-year-old male and my height is five feet eight inches. I am trying to gain weight but due to high metabolism unable to achieve my goal of gaining 22-33 lbs. I tried to follow a diet for four months and gained 8.8 pounds but it dropped again. Currently, I am 114.64 lbs which is considered underweight. Please suggest a vegetarian Indian diet for the best results and a realistic time to achieve my goal of 132-143 lbs of weight gain.

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

I do understand your concerns about muscular strength and the need to possess adequate weight, suited to five feet eight-inch height. You are right, you can have the ability to weigh up to 143 lbs in a healthy manner, but you should tell me these things, like

Whether there is any possibility of including eggs in your diet or you are a pure vegan only?
What type of dairy or milk items do you consume generally?
What type of physical activity or gym or exercise training are you into?

These details would help me give you a tailor-made, yet best nutrition chart. This can help you fulfill your weight gain needs and also give you the muscular strength and endurance you need

Kindly consult a specialist doctor, talk with them, and take medications with their consent.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
