Good afternoon Sirs/Mas. I have a problem with gaining weight. I'm 21 years old but i don't seem to be growing in size (width specifically). I lost my cheek fat at a tender age of 15.

Now, i look gaunt and way older than my real age. And the the funny thing is i eat a Lot as my diet contains mostly CARBOHYDRATE cos of their calories (fats). But it appears my body isn't just storing any of the fat cos i am still as skinny as ever.

So i want to know if that's a health problem??...do i have HIV/AIDS??...am i ever going to get fat??

clefstone:
you don't go do hiv test just because u r not adding weight. If he mentioned any act that puts him at risk of hiv then that piece of advice would be necessary

Nova15:


I used to be skinny and no matter how much I ate, I was still skinny. But when I changed my job to one that wasn't so stressful and gave me peace, i discovered that I was adding weight.

Now that I've gone back to a stressful job, I'm back to being skinny.

uchman48:

LuvU2:

Your genes regulate how your body grows. If your parents are skinny...you are likely to be skinny. You eat a lot...but no weight gain or size increase to show for it... again...your genes do not turn extra carbohydrates into fat...if you continue to stuff your stomach you'll become sick or even die but not become fat. It's no different from a short person doing stretches and whatever exercises to become tall....he would remain short regardless. But...if you are desperate... then you can use certain drugs or hormone treatments that can boost your body size and weight...but.... don't expect to live long....your heart and liver and kidneys would be overworked...like putting a car engine to run a truck. ..think it will last? Be contented with the body you have......or soon suffer and die like sooo many others.

EmmGee:

lol. Me and you na the same
I'm also 21 and so skinny. All my shirts are long sleeves coz i can't wear short sleeves because of how skinny i am.

Aids is not in my causes.
for me i guess its just stress

hanassholesolo:
Really? no one has mentioned Hyperthyroidism? OP, do a blood test for Hyperthyroidism and hyperparathyroidism if it comes back positive, you can NEVER gain wait








Unless through surgery to correct your thyriod's

BluntBoy:


Exercise for someone that is a hardgainer

Moyenii:
It's not that simple. I was skinny b4 and spent time doing nothing but eating and sleeping and gained nothing. I even appeared skinnier. Like I said earlier, it may be that he has a fast metabolism so it's difficult for him to gain weight.

ayorhmeeday:


i av only brothers.
the eldest is chubby (not all that fat), my immediate junior bro is muscular, and the last, is sure showing signs of future fatness.

kachi19:

It works jor... There's this fitness program Boney to Beasty you'll see lots of testimonies

akeentech:

Now we can talk

Moyenii:
Maybe you have a fast metabolism so no matter what you eat, you can't gain weight. Try weight gain syrups in addition to your meals and protein shakes too. Would have suggested Apetamin but I don't know if guys can take it oh. Its popular among ladies coz its very effective.

BlueRayDick:
1. Check your garri intake 2. No dey smoke Igbo. 3. No dey drink dry gin 4. No kill urself with 4ck. 5. Alaye go for HIV test.

Moyenii:
That's true. Most people don't know that can also cause someone to be skinny. I know someone who until that issue was dealt with remained skinny.

clefstone:
From my experience, a person's weight is mostly determined by his genes. If u have a skinny parent then you may not be able to do much. Another thing u have to know is that a person's weight progression seem to be genetically programmed such that at a certain age u just start adding weight, before then, no matter how much u try u may not add much. I had same issue as u at your age(my case I actually looked younger than my age) but today I don't wish to add to my present weight. Finally, you don't have HIV and God forbid u to hv it

MrCross:
Go and make money first I swear dem no born skinny well you will add weight by force when money enter your life!

But truth be told you should be thankful for your "skinny" life atleast you are alive.

Go to nairaland fp and see the number of "Fat and Chubby" people that lose their lives everyday to accidents and crime.

Trust me your body knows what's best for you,just try to eat and rest well.

I know you are comparing yourself with others but everybody is different and unique in their own special way

With time everything will get better and in a few years time you will look back and smile at this your thread that you posted today.

Laughing at yourself and how petty you were.

MrCross...
