I only gained weight after I left Nigeria.

Outside Nigeria. . . na to battle weight gain!

Mehn! I looked like all those 'hungry-scruffffffffffffy-looking' NL pageant contestants in Nigeria.

Poverty na weight loss I swear!

BABE3:
EXjoker is right. If you eat indiscriminately, you'll get plump all right, but you'll be fat; meaning all the weight you gain will be fat, and it'll be very easy to lose the weight if something happens (like prolonged loss of appetite or illness). There'll be no definition on your body; no abs no nothing; cellulites; stretch marks; just fat.


if you exercise (exercise doesn't have to be rigorous for beginners) while eating a healthy diet (reaching or exceeding your daily recommended calorie intake), you'll gain weight and look fit. Plus, it'll be harder to lose the mucsle weight, than pure fat weight.

Exjoker:
That is not true. Exercise will help regulate your body tissue so that you don't become fat.....Eat good diet, have time for resting and regular exercise will help you out

Exjoker:
Eat gud diet and do exercise regularly

Op, Eat six times in a day. That is, eat portions of food for two people Morning afternoon and night. Eat in between meals. Make sure you eat late at night.

Warning: Once you blow up, things will never remain the same again. You will begin to look older than your age. If you are doing a lot of running around or your mind aint at peace, this wont work for you.

Note: I am a slim person and i eat this way yet i remain slim. Hurray!!!

Zeemoor:
If you really wanna gain weight in a healthy way, don't rely on high calorie junk foods that aren't nutritious. The more junk you eat, the more you deprive your body of healthy nutrients
Choose foods with nutritional calories

Eat less- cut out in-between meals

Eat plenty of healthy fats and increase your protein intake

obongproff:
1. Go on indomie for breakfast and or dinner for one month.
2. Eat late in d nites. From 11 pm upwards.
3. Take ice cream, coke, pap, and eat a lot of butter or mayonnaise in ur bread.
4. Take an appetite stimulant. It will make u hungry and eat, eat, eat.
After 3 months, come and share ya testimony.
Disclaimer: Pls note dat adding weight usually comes with an unwanted side effect called Pot Belly, and Obongproff will not be held responsible for any protrusion in ya belle afta 3 months oh!

What is he good at and what does he have the passion for?

One thing that confuses young people when it comes to making career choices is the believe that one must go for the courses that guarantee a lot of money. That's why many of them go for medicine, engineering and so on even when they know they don't like it. They are ignorant of the fact that life isn't all about money, that there is a satisfaction that one gets from doing what he likes.

One of my friends who is now an artist initially went to science class. But I told him he was in the wrong place. This guy could draw and make cartoons out of objects yet he went to science class because people around him believed that one must do sciences to succeed. He however switched to the arts and that was the best decision he ever made. Now when I look at him, I can't imagine him being any thing else apart from the artist he is now and he himself is enjoying it.

Also using myself as an example back then in secondary school, I also wanted to study different courses at different times. At first it was physics then it became engineering but as I began to understand what these careers entailed, my choice changed.
When it was time to apply for courses, most of my mates applied for medicine, engineering etc. I knew within me that I could not be an engineer (didn't like the idea of romancing with maths and physics all my life) and I also did not want to be a doctor (it wasn't just for me).
So I applied for something else and I don't regret it. Many of my mates who applied for medicine/engineering had to change their courses after their first attempt failed.

So your brother would have to undergo counselling on the scope of the courses he has in mind so that he can choose the one that best suits him. The thought of being an engineer is great but would he actually want to live the life of an engineer? Counselling will open his eyes to see what each career entails and it will enable him choose the one he is cut out for.

Hope this helps.

He must consider ...

- if he has the necessary skills to study the subject he wants to and to graduate with good marks

- what the job prospects with the certificate that he will get are (employment possibilities, money)

- if he is interested in the subject and feels motivated to engage himself in the subject profoundly


And then he will have to consider where he can study what he wants to and if he (his family) can afford it for him to relocate if necessary.

If after answering all these questions, he is still not able to make up his mind, then he will have to decide intuitively.
That's the only way to make a choice if rationally all options are good.
