Need to Increase Weight and Height Posted: 02-03-08 16:37pm
Hi everyone.
Glad to have joined the forums. This is my
first post on this forum. I hope I am
posting it in the right section.
I am going to post as much Information as
I can so you guys can help me and give
suggestions. Please take some time to read
all. Thanks
Aim:
In short, I need to increase my weight,
Increase height and improve my physical
form and general health. And I have
realized that If I don't act now, I will
repent for the rest of my life, so please
bear me.
I basically need any tips, suggestions and
guidance on Diet, daily routine, exercises
etc. (Excluding "Consult a Physician"
)
General
Info
I am the only son of my Mother, my Father
passed away when I was 2. I am 20 year old
male, 5.4" tall, I weigh 40Kg. I have
really thin waist for my age (28-29" max),
and my bones are small too for a 20 year
old male (for example, my wrist is
4.5-5.5" in circumference), but all of my
male family members (from my mother's
side) have relatively smaller bone size.
I think skinny might be the "almost" right
word for me. I have no excess fat/meat on
my body. I can feel just my bones around
and on my shoulders wrist, arms etc).
Previous
Diet
I nowadays eat two times a day as I am
living in a hostel and I have to get food
from restaurants. I have NEVER ever had
egg in my life (Psychological problem
),
and I started drinking milk a year ago
(Two mugs daily average), but before a
year ago, I didn't used to drink milk,
cheese, egg and beef (Though I eat white
meat), and of course my overall diet
intake was comparatively low too.
Possible
future diet
I am writing this because I belong to
South Asia, and usual meals here are
different than the rest of the world.
Sof the food item I can eat and have
access to : Milk, Yogurt, Pizza, White
meat (Chicken and fish), Beef (Cow,
buffalo and goat), Wheat (present in daily
meal), Rice(present in almost daily meal),
almost all vegetables, almost all fruits,
Pulses (Chickpea, green soy, Lentil), Nuts
(Walnuts, Almond, peanut, cashew nuts),
Milk shakes, Juices, cereals, breads etc
and Food supplements etc.
Normal
routine and health details
I usually and most of the time keep lying
on bed (partial or full), and some of the
time sit on my bed while my legs are
crossed when using my pc. The whole
walking and going out of my room part of
routine constitutes of when I go to my
college or to get food. I have started
exercise (Weight training with dumbells,
push ups etc) from today.
I have short-sightedness which started
from -0.25 (a year and half ago) to -2.75
(now). I at least two times a week suffer
from Heartburn (because of the lying down
problem?). I don't remember my accurate
B.P, but it is something like
45-50/105-115. I usually have two or three
acne on my face (oily face skin) and have
a few on my back.
I have yet to confirm, but a relative of
mine said that my height increased a bit
in last 3 months or so. So I am guessing I
have the a few more months for height
increase. I would like to add that my
uncle (Mother's brother) had continued
growth till the age of 22.
One more thing I would like to add: I have
more than usual mental activities. I am
all the time thinking about stuff, reading
articles about everything I can, and I
keep Imagining stuff (mostly "out of the
box" type). (I am not sure if this was
relevent or not, so I apologize if it was
not)
I guess thats all. I am pretty sure I
missed something else that might be
necessary, so I'll add that when some
member/user will remind.
I want to thank in advance to users who
will take some time and guide me. I really
need your help.
Have a nice day!.

Hi, sosaited.
It sounds like you're really in a lot of
struggle right now. I wish you the best,
and am glad to hear that you're interested
in changing your life. What are the EXACT
goals that you'd like to achieve? Have
you written them down? You need a target
before starting out on the path!

To get taller:
1. Jogging will make you taller since it
loosens up the calcium deposits in your
bones
To get heavier:
1. Eat more
2. Do exercises like pushups, squats,
jogging, situps, etc. to tone your body as
it gets bigger
