Don't be anxious. You are only 18. In a few years you may be wishing your body to get back to 18 again...

Dude, was like you at that age. Even had my shoulders competing wit my head. I even had a U in my shoulder. Lmao! Fc uked up i know. Just go to a local welder, create a dumbell or buy, start working out, your body will require more energy, hence you eat more. Move to weight lifting but always start with very low weight and increase the weight as time goes on.

At one point my nickname became johnny bravo, had to start gyming my legs. lol. Goodluck

ekoson95: Hello Nairalanders, Please I want u guyz to help me on this issue.
It frustrates me when I see myself in the mirror how skinny i am, my wrists are slender and tiny. In fact, in one word "Bonny". People jokingly make fun of me and it really pisses me off.
I am 18 years old, about 170 cm (5.6"wink tall, and 55kg weight.

I want to gain more weight, please, what do i do?





5.6! @op, u r short oooo

Uchiha Madara: Protein, Protein, Protein.

You can blend some bananas, with whole milk, and some raw eggs (yuck right?)

If you are a guy, then gaining weight should be no problem at all, as long as you can actually afford food.

Hit the gym, please not for marathon sprints, but for weight building. As soon as you finish working out, you should reach for protein within a couple of minutes to help your torn muscles rebuild to become stronger.

Just remember to put Protein first, you obviously do need a balanced diet, but think big like a Texan in terms of protein, not in like a typical Nigerian with a mountain of rice on the plate, and one maggi cube sized piece of meat on top.

raw egg is dangerous, dont mess with Salmonella

If you are trying to gain weight, enjoy some red meat. Steak contains a ton of protein and iron. Not all steak cuts are made equal though. You want the fatty cuts where the meat is marbled. These cuts of meat will contain more calories, but they’ll also be way more delicious too! Look for rib-eye, t-bone, New York strip, and beef tenderloin. Red meat is high in cholesterol, so enjoy it with a healthy diet. Combining it with an unhealthy diet high in saturated fats could cause health effects.

@ op, i was in your shoes till my mid 30s. i was 55kg till 35/36 years of age.but i got a simple two step solution about 3 years ago.

Step1: get fresh bitter leaf. squeeze the juice up to ⅔ glass cup and drink before going to bed for 5-7 days.

Step2: The following week buy vitamin E capsule (any quality type or any one with aloe vera). Take one capsule every morning. Finish all the capsules or take for 2-3 weeks. Then eat well (of course, the capsule will increase your appetite) and drink a lot of water.

After those two steps, continue to eat well, of course balanced diet with much fruits. in 2-3 months, come and tell me the results. If you can do it, it works. As im typing now, im 72 kg. so i know it works.

this might work, and so does d exercise and balanced diet. Lifting weight can help along with taking good food supplement like vitamins and minerals. D problems with nigerians (its general too) is that we look for quick fixes. Try the exercise n healthy food, it works for my friend who weighed 50kg.

Metabolism is key.. Maybe you should alter it with drugs (slow it down), idk

OP watch out for this coming rainy season.

* You need to get a new school bag.

* Load it up with concrete / stones / heavy metal, whatever.

* Make sure you wear it whenever it's going to rain or when it's windy.

* But if it suddenly starts raining and you're not with your stone-bag, quickly grab any big tree, electric pole around you and hold on to it, never let go.

Let's start from there, safety first.

From your analysis, I think you are please with your status, but you are worried by people's comment about you. Just be yourself, know what is good for you, appreciate how you are beautifully and wonderfully made.

That is the source of low self esteem, for how long will you allow people to decide your life for you. Some ladies go for bossom enlargement that later affect them, some are bleeching to please people.

I will advice you eat nutritionally and live a healthy life. All is well

corruptst:

This is pure thrash! U r a disgrace to Medical School. That's essentially if u r one. It's better to keep quiet than open ur mouth to display how f00lish u are.
BMI is calculated by dividing your weight in kg by the square of your height in m.
Not square root as indicated.
And if u wanna use a height, u have to use realistic ones. It's not possible for anyone to b 5.6m tall. Thats like 560cm. What planet are u from?
From my calculation of d op's BMI, it's 55/(1.7*1.7) = 19.03,
@op, go siddon. U r definitely within a healthy weight range. Anybody that advises you to gain weight must b your enemy.
Guy i'm nt a f00l pls. U dnt hv to insult me jst because u wnt to corect me.
